The Educator’s Educator Likes To Call Women He Disagrees With “Conservadouche”

Posted on February 20, 2012 by Brooks Bayne in Articles

What does an assistant professor call a woman with whom he disagrees? A “conservadouche” (I was nice and corrected the professor’s typo). At least that’s what one assistant professor of education at Towson University called Dana Loesch, a radio talk show host, award winning editor for BigJournalism.com, and conservative contributor for CNN. His name is Shaun Johnson, and from his blog, At The Chalk Face, he states that he’s providing, “An education from an educator about education, in several ways [my emphasis]“. This latest engagement with Mrs. Loesch, a wife and mother, must be an education for Dana via one of these uncited “several ways“.

Here’s how our good teacher, @thechalkface, comported himself last night in response to a Twitter conversation Dana was having with a couple other women about her piece on Virginia’s new sonogram law:

Shaun has since deleted that tweet and a few others because he knows that this behavior is in violation with his employer’s code of conduct, and could get him fired. In part: “The President [of the university] may terminate the appointment of a tenured or tenure-track appointee for moral turpitude, professional or scholarly misconduct, incompetence, or willful neglect of duty, provided that the charges be stated in writing…”

Earlier today, I spoke with Shaun’s supervisor, Karen Robertson, the chair of his department, after I spoke with someone in the Towson University Provost’s office about this matter. I told Ms. Robinson about the incident, and her first words were, “Oh dear, this is very unfortunate”, and she asked me if there was any proof of the profs purposely pitiful poltroonery. I told her that Shaun had deleted his tweet, but I had anticipated such, and had taken a screenshot of it. She asked me to email the screenshot to her and I did. Ms. Robertson has since responded via email stating, “I have passed your information and email on to the Dean of the College of Education, Dr. Ray Lorion.  He is working with upper administrators at Towson to determine the next steps in this situation.  I will keep you posted about what transpires and how this situation is settled.” 

Why would a teacher be so concerned about what a political talk show host and commentator thinks? Well, it seems Mr. Johnson is a bit of a political activist. He’s one of the administrators of “Occupy DOE“, another Marxist “equal outcomes” group that pledges to, “end the reign of fear and terror promoted by the high stakes testing agenda” (I believe we call statements like this hyperbole… and moronic). I don’t believe anyone is surprised that someone, who claims that tests are terrifying, would feel he needs to take a sexist swipe at a woman. Also, Occupy DOE touts that they’re “In solidarity with Occupy Movements everywhere”. Yes, the same Occupy movement engaging in rape, murder, illegal drug use, assault, and destruction of property. Of course, these Occupy rapes are the latest crimes against women to escape proper scrutiny and rejection by the supporters of Occupy. This turn-a-blind-eye support of Occupy rapes is another reason I can see for why a man would attack a woman, being “in solidarity with Occupy” and all. Let’s hope that Assistant Professor Shaun Johnson, or any other members of Occupy DOE, don’t actually rape women in said Occupy solidarity.

Ironically, Shaun has this statement posted in his bio on the Occupy DOE website: “He earned his PhD from Indiana University and researches and publishes on elementary social studies and masculinity in education, particularly the lack of male teachers…” I hope that didn’t cause your head to explode.

Here is Shaun’s “demand” for the Occupy movement (those evil terrorist tests again):

Professors and teachers who push this type of namby pamby nonsense are precisely why many, like this author, homeschool their children.

In my opinion, there’s good reason that women are called the “better half”, the “fairer sex”, and even the “weaker sex”. This is to drill a sense of care for women into men’s brains – a “handle with care” sign, if you will. Men are dumb, and we need instruction when dealing with things more fragile than ourselves. In the bible, Peter instructs men thusly, “Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel…” In fact, our own military prohibits women from serving in frontline combat infantry positions. Men should be protectors of women, not assaulters of women, verbally, or otherwise, and especially not one who claims to be a teacher of teachers. A woman’s frame may be more fragile than a man’s, but that’s where the male advantage usually ends.

I’ll freely admit that the people I’ve known with the strongest fortitude, and the strongest character were, and are, women. One of the greatest minds in history would agree with me. Socrates taught Plato, and he’s often referred to as the teacher’s teacher, but what would Socrates have been without his own teachers, Diotima, Pythia, and Asphasia? That’s right, the teacher’s teachers were women. Socrates wrote, “Woman once made equal to man becomes his superior”, and this makes me wonder what lesson, Shaun Johnson, the educator’s educator, will learn from the woman, Dana, he interacted with in this situation. Although, since Shaun has lived his life terrorized by tests, and Socrates, one of the world’s best teachers, had issued such an ominous warning about women, maybe this just isn’t Shaun’s fault.
