I would take the failing grade but I would write the truth, then the shiiiit out the questionner and make him eat the essay.
The next assignment will be to explain why citizens should always believe everything government says.
I suppose if the definition of terrorist organization somehow exempts the US Government, then it would be an easy case to make that the Taliban aren’t terrorists, because the US government has murdered millions, enslaved millions, caged millions, tortured millions, stolen from billions, and the Taliban are minor players compared to them.
And notice that the course title appears to be “Politics of Terrorism.” Indeed, terrorism is the hallmark of politics, and whether someone is considered a terrorist or not is also a measure of politics, NOT something that is derived by comparing actions to definitions.
How’s that saying go; One man’s terrorist, is other man’s freedom fighter. Or something like that.
“Terrorists” = any militant organization which lacks an air force.
Your love for the Taliban is almost as great as your love for Adolph Hitler.
Your assignment for next week; “Why Pol Pot should be canonized as a Saint”.
Never mind next week, your assignment for today is copying the definition of ‘ad hominem’ out of the dictionary 1,000 times.
Let’s see if you can make the connection without a TV expert to tell you what the ‘right’ answers are beforehand.
I got the sarcasm, didn’t you.
That scene where the muscle guy in Guardians of the Galaxy says “Nothing would go over my head. My reflexes are too fast. I would catch it.”
There is no profit in insulting you, Anon, but maybe the fault in thinking is from the observer.
Because, relatively speaking, compared to the education establishment, the taliban is not a threat to the US, it’s Constitution or it’s people.
I went to engineering school, it was not a university, we did not have BS stuff like this.
Chemistry, physics, calculus, and a slew of engineering courses is all I took. The few English / history courses we had were basic high school level.
During the Irian hostage time, the Iranian students protested for an hour, nobody paid any attention to them.
I have to admit, over the last 40 year, my school did get woke as the female population increased, its a shame.
Crawfisher, Right On. I advised my 7 children to not bother with college unless they had a clear direct path to some degree in a profession that had some barriers to entry. Some took my advice and some did not, to their detriment. Now most graduates are just modern day indentured servants.
I’d read that universities had transitioned from teaching people how to think into teaching people what to think. This is verification. Graduates will now know that anybody the government designates, e.g. parents who object to a school board’s policies, are terrorists, period. No need to actually think about it.
This is verification?? Look at society. THAT’S your verification.
The proper answer to the question is: “Refund ALL my tution paid to date, immediately. Failure to do so will result in you paying my lawyer, and punitive damages for dealing in bad faith”
Easy peasy..
There are plenty of pejoratives to describe the Taliban. It’d be good to start by calling them
jihadis, goatfuckers, and henchmen while not forgetting to mention their spiritual leader
pedophile Mohamed at the end.. Using best practices learnt in higher edumaction one
should be able to stretch the insults out long enuf to have 500 words, double spaced and
typed in standard 12 point font to get the point of the lesson.
This is a question all about suggestion.
No doubt most of the rubes will write in glowing terms how the Taliban have no bananas
and aren’t a terrorist organization. But not me, I won’t be caught dead following that thread.
When it would be better to focus on the question and what that bunch have been up in that
shithole of a country they have the misfortune now to run to the End.

OK teacher, I concede, how about I drop your ass off right there in the middle of them for a week then you can edjumate me when/IF you get back?
One sentence:
If they are not on the US list of terrorist organizations, they aren’t one [in a US legal sense.]
Q.E.D.
I see no problem. The Taliban is not a terrorist organization, the CIA and Mossad are. Also it has always been common to be given a critical position because it teaches one to think from a different point of view, which is necessary when learning how to think critically. I see no problem with this particular assignment, however I could go on for days about why college is a waste of time for other reasons.
I know I’m giving too much credit but this Prof could be using Socratic Method to force one to argue the other side of the argument. It makes one a better critical thinker when forced to think through your own position. She could have made the paper, “Define how Hitler made life better for Germans”
It’s essentially asking one to defend the indefensible. But, like I said, I’m probably giving too much credit.
Describing how Hitler made life better for Germans is defending the indefensible?
Uh oh.
incoming …
Describe how FJB made life better for Americans.
In one page(insert comma)* explain why the Taliban is [have](remove the word “have”) not and [are] (Is the Taliban singular or plural? Make up your mind) still not a terrorist organization.
You are not allowed to answer this question in any other way. Any attempt to avoid the answering (insert preposition “of”) this prompt as written; (a semi-colon is inappropriate here; it is used to separate independent clauses. The two separated clauses are both sentence fragments) or trying to argue otherwise will result in a failing grade. If you have any questions on the pedagogy (pedagogy is a method of teaching; this should be either “rationale” or “reasoning”) behind this assignment – please contact me.
There. Fixed it for you, you dumb-shit college professor. I would think a phD level teacher would know how to properly write, but I guess I’m old school.
thank you
Which Taliban? The Pakistani Taliban or the Afghan Taliban?
Come on, some college ask if BLM riots and destruction of monuments; or the FJB Administration Democrats vote fraud, J6 prisons, mandatory poison shots, etc are Terrorist!
Have I mentioned that the majority of people are very stupid.
My answer:
The Taliban is not a terrorist organization because the ruling authorities have declared it not to be a terrorist org. Who am I, this little plebe, to disagree with the elite who lord over me and present an alternate opinion that threatens the official narrative.
Did I pass?
