Quis docet ipsos magister?

Doesn’t have quite the same ring. “Teacher” was as close as I could get to “programmer” in pre-computer Latin. Any grammatical errors resulted from just copying Google Translate; all I know about Latin I learned from the internet.

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

One school, Agaissiz School, named after Louis Agassiz, was put on the list.

The Tribune writes –

“An eight-grader student at what will now be known as Harriet Tubman Elementary in Chicago said she’s proud the school was just renamed for an abolitionist.

‘The pure and righteous work of Harriet Tubman to liberate Black people from the gross evil of American slavery is ultimately remarkable because of the viciousness of the white slaveholders,’ the student told the Chicago Board of Education on Wednesday, before members voted unanimously to approve the name change.

Her school was named after racist scientist Louis Agassiz, who placed white people at the top of a discredited intellectual hierarchy and called African-American people a ‘degraded and degenerate race.’

People are still ‘forced to suffer from the fabrication of Western European pseudo-scientists of the 18th and 19th centuries who created the social construct of race to rationalize their greed that supported gender bias to validate their masculinity,’ she said.”

The student’s words are an odd mixture of the racial and gender ‘education’ going on in CPS. I’d argue that her words aren’t exactly her own words; like a 12 year old preacher not understanding scripture but pontificating on a pulpit. What the student and article leaves out is context. Without going full scholar, a Google search would lead one to Britannica where “degraded and degenerate race” appears. A quick read through the Britannica article tells us that Agassiz’s belief, more or less, stemmed from the concept of polygenism, where he concluded that different races of humanity “each descending from different ancestors (polygenism) and originating in separate zoological provinces at the beginning of time,” alongside the creating an intellectual hierarchy based on the size of ones cranium (whites had the largest, so hence they’re at the top, where blacks had the smallest so they’re on the bottom), and his experience in at a hotel observing unruly African-American servants. These are all controversial views but the Tribune article does not put them in historical perspective of underdeveloped sociological and anthropological theories, just that it was “racist.” It’s the old tactic of looking at the past with modern eyes.

Despite this Agassiz, being religious, believed men were created equal and that through education and morality men would be equal before God. Agassiz was a biologist, paleontologist, and physician, amongst other things, contributing less controversial ideas and concepts to each field, but it’s only concluded that he was a racist pseudo-scientist.

I mentioned that demographic collapse would harbor the end of the remainders

Your watching the power of Gliecshaltung in action… as the nation is forced to align even if they dont agree…
