A Showdown at Tombstone High

Posted by Lee Culpepper on Friday, October 12, 2007 11:48:46 AM

As high noon draws near, townsfolk in Medford, Oregon, scatter. Citizens peer outside through the safety of their computer monitors and T.V. screens. According to some, a renegade teacher has strolled in to town and this pistol-packing pedagogue (i.e. teacher) is poised for a gunfight.

Seriously Needing Oxygen

Posted by Lee Culpepper on Thursday, August 16, 2007 2:48:45 PM
I joined the Marine Corps after college because I felt compelled to serve our country and to defend the rights of others. I feel proud to have served in the Corps, and I believe my experience taught me a greater appreciation regarding the incredibly high cost and value of freedom.

True Grit: Winning the Hearts and Minds of Al-Qaida

Posted by Lee Culpepper on Monday, July 16, 2007 4:12:32 PM
I wonder if John Wayne is glad to be dead. If he were alive, I imagine our impotent politicians’ apologizing to the public about Iraq would kill him. Seems like America’s once-triumphant spirit endured through our unrelenting grit and hunger to prevail. Such perseverance remains a prerequisite to all success. Sadly, our new breed of representatives has no familiarity with the hunger necessary to win a war.  Do you think our barbaric enemies suffer the same dilemma?

My Diversity Disorder

Posted by Lee Culpepper on Thursday, July 12, 2007 4:21:46 PM
leeculpepper.com -- I felt sick when my doctor informed me that I am her only patient who vomits each time he hears the words “multiculturalism” and “diversity.” In fact, political correctness in general makes me queasy. Perhaps I’m a hypochondriac—anxiety over this possibility depresses me. Though my doctor did not prescribe a cure for my disorder, the Supreme Court’s recent 5-4 decision – which struck down programs that considered race to make school assignments – may provide the remedy I need.  In light of the justices’ ruling, ethnic realities appear so much clearer now.

The Comprehensive-Universal-Modern-American Solution

Posted by Lee Culpepper on Saturday, June 23, 2007 12:21:44 PM
americandaily.com -- Facing despair, too many Americans have grown cynical of the quagmire of partisan politics inside the Beltway. With the endless arguments over illegal immigration, prison capacity, stem cell research, abortion, healthcare, unemployment, public education, and much more, surly every conscientious American yearns for solutions. To this point, our quibbling politicians continue to let us down, as they scurry shamelessly to serve their egocentric agendas versus honoring their oaths to serve the average American like you and me.

The Culture of Public Education

Posted by Lee Culpepper on Friday, June 15, 2007 4:27:30 PM
leeculpepper.com --  While excuse makers and vacillating politicians bicker over immigration and No Child Left Behind, public education’s politically correct culture continues its noxious indoctrination of those confined inside its system. The kinder and gentler social experiments that masquerade as modern pedagogy are brainwashing many students into a bunch of low-achieving, over-sensitive, undisciplined, and dimwitted wimps. How anyone remains perplexed over floundering classroom performance eludes comprehension. The problem is in “the culture.”

A Rod, a God, Two Nuts, and a Pedagogue

Posted by Lee Culpepper on Saturday, June 02, 2007 8:46:54 AM
MichNews.com-- Warren Lee Culpepper -- Over the Memorial Day weekend, I was honored to be the guest on a radio program called Political Pistachio. The show’s host (Douglas Gibbs) and his wife (“Mrs. Pistachio”) invited me on to discuss several issues facing public education. I shared my inside view regarding two PC agendas polluting public classrooms: multicultural excrement and artificial self-esteem. In nine years of teaching, I saw firsthand how PC programs retarded my students’ critical thinking skills and defiled American cornerstones like competition and self-reliance.

Taking the "Bull" out of Bullying

Posted by Lee Culpepper on Thursday, May 17, 2007 11:07:45 AM
MichNews.com-- Warren Lee Culpepper -- Two years ago during a teachers’ staff meeting, the speaker caught my attention revealing that bullying causes over 150,000 student absences every day. She also reported the obvious as if it were profound -- most kids eventually experience some form of bulling. Then she stated bullying had become an epidemic in America. At that moment, I started sensing the force behind this seminar.

The Anti-Climax of a Van Halen Song

Posted by Lee Culpepper on Wednesday, May 09, 2007 8:07:10 PM
MichNews.com-- Warren Lee Culpepper -- Every time a female-teacher-sex scandal breaks, I wonder if I’m the only person curious to see what the teacher looks like. These ravaging women often evoke references to Van Halen’s song “Hot for Teacher.” The story is not that attractive-female deviants are less guilty than the unattractive-female weirdos molesting schoolboys; it’s just that attractive female perverts ignite more debate whether their schoolboy targets have suffered any harm. Apparently, discussing ugly-female molesters traumatizes the debaters.

Education or Robbery

May 4, 2007, 08:33 ET
At this time last year, many illegal aliens across America were rallying (like this year) in organized amnesty marches. Meanwhile, my Texas students and I were finishing F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby. News headlines swirled about the amnesty marches, and my students’ curiosity swirled about the marches, too. During one of my academically stronger classes, several students (Hispanic students) asked me what I thought about these demonstrations. Considering their question related, somewhat, to the American Dream (a topic we were discussing from the novel) I decided to entertain their question.

Judgment, Tolerance, and Virginia Tech

Posted by Lee Culpepper on Monday, April 23, 2007 6:49:18 AM
Monday I watched in disgust the wickedness that throttled the Virginia Tech campus that I once roamed. I was carefree and brash in those days, but since then I have developed a humble appreciation for the education Tech provided me. My heart mourns for Hokies everywhere, but more so for the students and faculty gunned down by evil. I cannot imagine the grief those thirty-two devastated families are feeling. I also mourn for the family of the murderer; they are most likely victims, as well. On the other hand, I recognize that my sympathy for his parents could change as facts are revealed. Regardless, Virginia Tech, like the University of Texas and Columbine High School, will ultimately endure the evil that surfaced, but those thirty-two Hokies’ lives were stolen forever.

Persistent and Inconvenient Facts

Posted by Lee Culpepper on Monday, April 16, 2007 7:20:47 AM

In case my “drcoolpepper-email address” has fooled anyone, I better confess that I’m not actually a doctor; however, I may have discovered a new mental illness. I would like to call it Persistent-Inconvenient-Serious Specifics Disorder (or PISSD). From my research, I estimate about fifty percent of the American population is PISSD. Ironically, those who suffer from this disorder generally dislike labels, unless they are labeling others. For example, they might “feel” they are above partisan politics – despite indisputable evidence contradicting their “feelings.” They also might be quick to label those who use facts in arguments as mean or stupid.

Highly Qualified Teachers: Es Muy Obscuro

Posted by Lee Culpepper on Thursday, April 12, 2007 8:00:32 AM
drcoolpepper@yahoo.com

Poor President Bush, I feel his pain. His education law calling for a “highly qualified teacher” in every classroom has yet to meet its mark – more than four years after its inception. I imagine this letdown has to gnaw on him, as it only adds to everything else the honorable man is struggling nobly to make better, like Iraq and America’s out of control southern border.

As far as the meaning of “highly qualified teachers” though, my illegal- fifty-one-year-old friend, Luis, from Texas (I mean, Mexico) would say, “El definicion es muy obscuro.”
