Diversity "A range of different things"


Diversity “A range of different things.”

An article ran in the Williamsburg Gazette with concern to William and Marys look to the future. I offer my observations and concerns.

President Taylor Reveley was working on diversity before he retired. He removed a Confederate plaque in August of 2015 from the Wren building. He promised diversity in naming all soldiers who fought in the civil war be remembered with a plaque. When asked about the plaque in 2018 the College would only tell us, they were still working on it. Three years have passed and the College does not honor its diversity promise of including all of the fallen.

In 2016, I approached Taylor Reveley with the idea, an opportunity to, start an aviation school. It was the first year of the Williamsburg Aviation Scholarship Program or (WASP). A group of industry leaders had formed this program. This program is designed to help students learn to fly and possibly fill jobs in aviation where there is a shortage of pilots. Mr. Reveley did attend an informational meeting but, when pressed later, he said and I quote “aviation is not a fit for our College.” Where is the diversity, I thought?

Now enters Katherine Rowe. Ms. Rowe has continued her efforts to focus on how to prepare students for post- graduation. I would like to note the recent discussion where mostly professor and faculty attended along with two students. Sitting in groups of ten they discussed ways to make the College more diverse.

Diversity “A range of different things.” How can a discussion on diversity and preparing students for post-graduation be discussed without a diversified field of participants in the discussion groups? If one is going to believe faculty and professors can possibly offer diversity while hiding behind the wall of a College, and most not experiencing the real world in decades then, I would have to say this discussion was a failure. Where are your industry leaders in this discussion? You know, the ones who will hire your precious snowflakes?

Diversity “A range of different things.” When will the College (any College) acknowledge the need for diversity within its own ranks? I am reminded of the Honors ceremony my wife and I attended when my wife was doing graduate work in special education at W&M. The speaker says, “go out and change the world!” It was all my wife could do to keep me from busting out laughing. I looked around the room and, I watched these 20 something’s gobbling up fantasies of changing the world. Then a horrible thought came over me. What if these indoctrinated progressives actually do change the world or worse change America? As a 50-year old something in attendance, I began to realize the danger.


Apologizing for history


I have but two words for this, utter nonsense. Formally apologizing for Jim Crow laws and slavery is nothing more than "white guilt." However, a deeper understanding of the underlying progressive ideology that is indoctrinating our children, runs deeper than white guilt. Let us in turn, consider multiculturalism as the deeply rooted W&M cause. Diversity is being used to achieve this globalization goal progressives teach our children. In doing so, is diversity put at risk? The answer can be found in W&M’s mission statement along with W&M’s vision statement.



  • Attract outstanding students from diverse backgrounds.
  • Develop a diverse faculty
  • Provide challenging curriculums in liberal arts and sciences
  • Prepare students for intellectual, professional and public leadership
  • Instill in students an appreciation for the human condition, a concern for public well-being.
  • Use of its faculty and students to further human knowledge and understanding.
  • W&M vision statement. “develop critical thinking and understanding of diverse perspectives.”


The human condition and applying Progressivism.

“Progressivism is an ideology based on the idea that historical and social progress is inevitable. The idea of progress assumes movement toward some ideal or end that usually includes the perfectibility of human nature and human society. One has to ask, Is it the goal of W&M to perfect human nature and society? If W&M is instilling in its students an appreciation for the human condition and public well-being through the closed eyes of progressivism, in the name of diversity and, the ultimate goal of globalization or “one rule government” then we are all in trouble and should be alarmed.


William and Mary’s utter nonsense in apologizing for something that happened in the past is, not only the white guilt of a few but, it is, in fact, a ploy to create the idea of globalism. W&M et al are altering our understanding of history through the removal of plaques, removal of statues, teaching and, the erasure of the past. In doing so W&M is trying to unite people into accepting one world thought by, erasing the past they feel divides us. Removal of the Christian cross from the chapel is an excellent example of W&M’s attempt to globalize the college and thus globalize the world. The removal of a cross, so that “others felt welcomed” was Dr. Nichols call for diversity. Obviously, W&M backed down after donations and pledges were denied. I guess W&M cares more about money than they do about their principles.


In closing: W&M’s indoctrination of students into progressive ideology lacks the diversity it seeks and seems to be an oxymoron. There seems to be no diversity within its own ranks in this writer’s opinions and observations and thus students are not developing critical thinking skills if, only one political vision, one view of the world and, one side of the story, is taught. In this manner, W&M fails its own mission statement. William and Mary seemingly want to teach diversity that is geared toward the globalization of the world. Yet, when it comes to teaching diversity in political ideologies, creating diversity within in its curriculum, diversifying its faculty and providing the basic understanding, humans will forever be tribal, does not fit their global agenda. Thus, the realization of danger as reported earlier. God help us all if, W&M succeeds in the destruction of America through progressive ideology and globalism.

Discourse: 1st amendment under attack by the political party the media supports.


Discourse: October 7th, 2018: Newport News VA, Daily Press “Where the Newspaper Stands”

“It was a victory because it strengthens a principle that we hold sacred in any democracy- that the public’s work should be done before the public’s eye.” On the surface, this seems to be a legitimate and thoughtful ideology. Let’s dig deeper to reveal fallacies in this opinion.

National security – Staff leakers have routinely leaked classified information to the media, in the Trump administration. The media, in turn, is all too glad to print anonymous unauthorized leaks. Some might say, like The Daily Press “public work should be done in the public eye”. I disagree, unauthorized leaks to the press undermine the duly elected President of the United States and can put operatives in the field into harm’s way. It is a noble idea to be transparent, but another to use the idea of transparency to viciously attack a political opponent. This is what the Daily Press et al does every day. The media has no shame in putting people’s lives at risk.

The Democrats have put people’s lives at risk for political gain. Dr. Ford, is an example of leaked information, of unsubstantiated allegations from 36 years ago, against a political opponent. The media was all too glad to run with unfounded allegations, leaked to the media without, regard to ruining the lives of others. This was done in the name of supporting one political party over another, but not in the name of transparency. I think one can say truthfully, the media no longer investigate for the truth but, willing to report unsubstantiated claims, whether true or not.

According to the Investor Business Daily 2016 – “The Democrats have attacked the 1st, 2nd and 5th amendment. Incredibly, the Democrats' disdain for the Bill of Rights includes even the 1st Amendment's protection of free speech. Party leaders have in the recent past, openly pushed to limit free speech rights when it conflicts with their own viewpoints.

In a speech at an Iowa community college, for example, Hillary Clinton: "We need to fix our dysfunctional political system and get unaccountable money out of it once and for all, even if that takes a constitutional amendment. I threw up in my mouth a little when, I read that Hillary Clinton wanted to get money out of politics, a lie if I ever heard one. "Left unsaid is that the only way to do what she suggests, to put restrictions on the 1st Amendment? A few years ago, 54 Senate Democrats voted for a new constitutional amendment that would do just that.

In California, Democrats pushed a state bill that would have criminalized speech that questions the "consensus" on climate change. Attorney General Loretta Lynch told the Senate Judiciary Committee, she has discussed with her colleagues the possibility of pursuing civil actions against "climate change deniers."

Democrats have long expressed frustration, if not outright contempt, for the Constitution whenever it hinders their ability to enact some new government program. President Obama had repeatedly complained about the "messy" process the Constitution's co-equal branches created and has several times acted as though the Constitution's limits on the president's authority simply don't apply to him.


The fact that a major U.S. political party -- which still considers itself mainstream -- is now willing to specifically target amendments designed to protect Americans from tyrannical government control is alarming, to say the least. “

In closing: The first amendment, an amendment the Daily Press holds so dear, is under attack by the very political party they support. Oh, and one more thing, we are not a Democracy Daily Press, we are a Republic. How many times do we have to correct you?

A Discourse to The Daily Press opinion of Brett Kavanaugh and the 7th FBI probe


Once again, the editors of the Daily Press of Newport News VA get it wrong. The Daily Depress does not report honestly or factually concerning the Democrat abuses in my opinion.

Where the paper gets it, wrong or does not report.

1. Democrats have championed the idea that Brett Kavanaugh should prove his innocence. Minority Leader Chuck Schumer " This is not a criminal trial, therefore there is no presumption of innocence."  Are we to say that a man can be accused of wrongdoing and tried in a court of public review without evidence of guilt or innocence? If we as Americans go down this road, the Democrats have laid then, "God help us all."

2. The Daily Depress in its review does not inform the reader to the fact that Dr. Ford was offered a one-on-one private interview. Dr. Ford seemed surprised and unaware of this offer. Dr. Ford goes on to remark, "I did not understand." Are we to believe Dr. Ford, a well-educated woman, does not understand the offer?  Was she never told of the offer?

3. The Daily Depress goes on to omit and inform its reader to the leak of the letter to the media. Who leaked the letter, to begin with, and why? There needs to be an investigation as to who leaked the letter. There needs to be an investigation into who paid for Dr. Ford's lawyers and who set up her lawyers. If we find that Ms. Feinstein set up the lawyers then she needs to be expelled from office in this readers view.

4. The Daily Depress goes on to omit other facts worthy of comment. Ms. Feinstein held this letter for almost two months. This reader believes Ms. Feinstein leaked the letter, held the letter for political gain only and does not give a rat’s ass if the woman was assaulted or not. Nor, does Ms. Feinstein care if she destroys a man career and family based on allegations from 36 years ago with no proof of said allegations. The paper goes on to hide the fact that others named have no knowledge of this allegation and have stated it never happened.

5. The Daily Depress goes on to omit and inform its readers of a possible payout to Dr. North for testifying. A "go fund me page" was started but by who? 530,00.00 has been raised but, who are the donors to the go fund me page? I bet if we investigate, we will find Democrats like George Soros and possibly Ms. Feinstein herself contributing in some manner covertly.

6. Where does the Daily Depress stand on 36-year-old accusations, from high school? Why now has the women come forward? There were many holes in her testimony and at last count 17 inaccuracies to her testimony. A lack of remembrance is merely a tactic so to not incriminate herself.  I believe, Dr. Ford knew Brett never accosted her hence the lack of remembrance and a want to stay anonymous.

7.  Are we now to hold all people accountable 30-40 years later for what they did in high school? Is this what the Democrats are saying? Think about it editors of the Daily Depress, remember your days in high school?

8. The Washington Examiner explains that a Polygraph test is not a test to determine if you lie or tell the truth. Experts interviewed by the Washington Examiner cast doubt, and assert that such tests are unable to assess at all whether a person is lying or truthful.

9. The Daily Depress reports, according to RAINN is a nonprofit organization and since 2008 has provided anonymous, online crisis support. These anonymous reports come with no proof of guilt or innocence. Are we to say, just because you are a woman you should be believed? This is dangerous and violates our constitution. Let us not forget, the Duke lacrosse team or the fraternity at UVA as reported by Rolling Stone. False allegations, by women, that ruined lives and was used by a bias media to attack white men.

10. The new FBI investigation will not provide any new evidence. This will be the 7th FBI investigation into Brett Kavanaugh. The Daily Depresses opinion that we need an investigation reeks of bias toward Republicans and attacks white men. This is indeed a political ploy and the Daily Depresses disregard of said ploy should be examined as bias.

11. I am not one to be blind to sexual assault. This does happen in our society and needs to be addressed. Are we so blind, we do not see where this type of behavior comes from? The easy access to Hollywood / California pornography needs to be addressed. How can women stand by and, not raise awareness of the harms of pornography concerning our young boys and men? Society itself needs to be re-examined. Single-family parenting contributes to delinquency in our society and yet Democrats stand by and watch as our values degrade. It is as if Democrats want us all on drugs, watching porn and attacking each other so they may take power and rule. It is obvious to me, Democrats want us all to be stupid and unable to care for ourselves.

In closing, The Daily Depress published "Where the newspaper stands," op-ed is an absolute disgrace and hit job on Brett Kavanaugh. The paper is selectively reporting based on an obvious bias toward white men. No good will ever come from this except to continue to divide America and the Daily Depress has once again embarrassed itself.

The lefts flight to be the rudest


In today’s society, people can become upset by just about anything and everything. This can be from differences in political beliefs, religion, and even the hats we wear on our heads. An opinion was written concerning a local cartoon found in the Williamsburg Gazette. The cartoon, coming from a conservative point of view was attacked and, the writer asked the local paper to stop printing the cartoon as it did not fit his agenda. I offered a discourse opinion, which was published. I wrote in part, "I blame Trump derangement syndrome as the cause for the writer's opinion and, I offered to help him find a doctor for his affliction."

In 2018, the Supreme Court ruled 7-2 to set aside a decision held by a Colorado Court against a baker who refused to serve a customer. The Supreme Court did not set aside the decision based on the refusal to provide a service based on religious beliefs, but rather on an anti-religious bias from local politicians and councils. 

In Asheville, North Carolina, a tow truck driver refused to tow a stranded car covered with “Bernie Sanders stuff,” and left a woman stranded on the highway.  From this, a progressive leftist family member took to the internet to call the tow truck driver a bigot. Attorneys for the tow truck driver stated he did not break any laws because political affiliation is not a protected right under the constitution.

A New York City judge ruled it legal to throw a person out of a bar if, they are wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat.

Secretary of Homeland Security, Helen Rosner, left a business meal early, not because the restaurant asked her to leave, but for being harassed by Democratic Socialists trying to entice a fight.

Sarah Huckabee is asked to leave a Virginia restaurant because she works for the POTUS.

Congressman Steve Scalise et al are shot and wounded by a deranged Bernie Sanders supporter while practicing for a baseball game.

Maxine Waters has decided it is ok to send her constituents into the streets to harass politicians and Trump supporters. (I am just waiting for someone to do that to me. I am prepared to defend myself and at all times.)

Now we have another democrat Diane Feinstein, holding a secret letter given to her in July and sent to the FBI in September. I have to ask, if the letter was that important then why did the letter not make it to the FBI sooner? This same letter has secret information, from a secret person, now known as Christine Ford. Ford a democrat and from, you guest it California, has come forward 35 years later, concerning Brett Kavanaugh's high school days. I have to ask, Are democrats so low, they have to go all the way back to high school? 

We have John Kerry holding secret meetings with Iran to undermine the present administration. Keep in mind folks, Iran is a state sponsor of terrorism but, I guess that is ok with Obama. As for Obama, he has crushed the long-held tradition of not campaigning after his time in office. Maybe Obama should not have mocked and made fun of DJT  years ago after all, huh.....

Don’t even get me started on how the media and opinion writers like Leonard Pitts and Eugene Robinson have treated the POTUS. It is not a wonder the POTUS has counter punched vile reports and opinions at every turn.

Going forward we have to ask ourselves, where does the leftist race to be the ill-behaved end? Will a school-age student be denied a chance to play sports based on the parent’s political beliefs or the beliefs of the child? What if I work for a private power co-op utility or water utility?  Can a company make a rule to turn the power back on in Democrat-dominated districts first? Can a private water utility deny service to a Republican who may have a “Make America Great Again” sign in his yard? Do I provide the service of catching a baby, dropped from a second-story burning house because there is a Bernie Sanders sign in the yard?

In conclusion, I believe the Democratic Party has played a role in the denying of services by spewing hatred and calls for resistance all across America. Verbal and physical attacks made by progressive liberals at political rallies and in public, combined with their rude behavior on Capitol Hill, should be identified as Trump derangement syndrome. If you need a doctor for your affliction, there are plenty of psychiatrist in the yellow pages. If you cannot seek help or deny your disease perhaps, we need "political-affiliation" to be protected by the constitution from said deranged progressives.
