billvon 2,400 #3 March 1, 2017 From the article: ============ An Iowa lawmaker who is pushing a controversial bill that caps the number of Democrats that state universities can hire as professors claimed on a government web site that he got a "business degree" from the "Forbco Management school." But State Sen. Mark Chelgren's alleged alma mater is actually a company that operated a Sizzler steak house franchise in southern California and he doesn't have a "degree," Ed Failor, a spokesman for the Iowa State Republicans, told NBC News. . . . In pushing for passage of Senate File 228, Chelgren claimed his own experiences with "liberal professors" prompted him to put forward a plan to impose a hiring freeze until the number of registered Republicans and Democrats on university faculties are within 10 percent of each other. ============== Sounds like the law would be more justifiable if it capped the number of Sizzler workers and customers in academia. I expect big things from this guy in the Trump administration. Education advisor, perhaps. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ryoder 1,384 #4 March 1, 2017 The story reminded me of this exchange from the excellent documentary "Idiocracy"(2006): Frito: Yah I know this place pretty good, I went to law school here. Pvt. Joe Bowers: In Costco? Frito: Yah I couldn't believe it myself, luckily my dad was an alumnus and pulled some strings.

rushmc 18 #7 March 2, 2017 kallend Isn't rushmc from Iowa? Perhaps he knows the guy. He is from Eastern Iowa. I am in the NW part of the state. That said, more came out about this in the news here last night and I am sure there is more to come. the biggest issue here is the OP jumping the shark. But then, that is nothing new on this site these days. BTW, I am not defending the guy. I heard his response last night on the radio on my way home. We will see how it plays out."America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

DJL 232 #11 March 2, 2017 rushmc the biggest issue here is the OP jumping the shark. Ah yes. The issue is that people are reporting it, not that there's something to report.
