HUFF POST: …As the Washington Post reported on Thursday, professors have been ranked according to how profitable they were to the university. Previous reports suggested Perry wanted to treat students as “customers” and tie teacher bonuses to anonymous student evaluations.
One reason that might explain his hostility toward the system: He didn’t do very well in it. A source in Texas passed The Huffington Post Perry’s transcripts from his years at Texas A&M University. The future politician did not distinguish himself much in the classroom. While he later became a student leader, he had to get out of academic probation to do so. He rarely earned anything above a C in his courses — earning a C in U.S. History, a D in Shakespeare, and a D in the principles of economics. Perry got a C in gym.
Perry also did poorly on classes within his animal science major. In fall semester 1970, he received a D in veterinary anatomy, a F in a second course on organic chemistry and a C in animal breeding. He did get an A in world military systems and “Improv. of Learning” — his only two As while at A&M… (more)
EDITOR: Shades of “W”, who at least got his “C”s at Yale.
Is there a relevant point to either the headline or the article? How about the editor’s snide comments at the bottom?
Well, is there?
Let us not forget that George W. Bush had a higher GPA than John Kerry. Oh I see, you did forget.
I think that these college transcripts compare favorably with those released by Barak Obama. But But But wait a minute, you say?
That’s right, Barak Hussein Obama never released his college transcripts now did he? What a brave move by our vacationer-in-chief!
EDITOR: Not only was “W”‘s academic mediocrity less than that of John Kerry but also of Al Gore! Which tells us something about why the country is in such miserable shape. Barack Obama, on the other hand, was outstanding at Harvard Law School.
“Barack Obama, on the other hand, was outstanding at Harvard Law School.”
Show me the evidence. If you have even a shred of journalistic integrity you must retract that statement and resign your position.
There is absolutely zero evidence to support your statement. Obama has steadfastly refused to allow his transcripts to be released.
You claim to be an alternative news source and a watchdog. You can not make that claim and also be a shill for the administration.
What does an unsupportable statement like that do for your credibility?
Shame on you.
EDITOR: Barack Obama was editor of the law review, which is the highest academic honor that can be bestowed on a student. Furthermore, the Watchdog heard an interview a year or so ago with one of the prominent professors at Harvard who ranked Obama as the brightest student he had ever encountered.
