I invite readers to use the comment section to recommend topics for McClain’s address; I’ll post the most creative responses tonight.

Constucting a Post-Modern City Upon The Hill
For we must consider that we shall be as a post modern city upon a hill. The eyes of all academia are upon us. So that if we shall deal falsely with our meta-narrative in this work we have undertaken...we shall be made a story and a by-word throughout academia. We shall open the mouths of heteronormative oppressors to speak evil of the ways of PC...We shall shame the faces of many of progressive politics worthy servants, and cause their prayers to be turned into curses upon us till we be cashiered out of academia whither we are forced to find gainful employment.

A great thing for her to discuss would be taking a page from Eduardo Bonilla-Silva and discussing why the facts really do not matter in life or at least at Duke. What matters is your race, class and gender.
Another good topic might be how white students can expect to be treated and judged by professors such as Kim Curtis, Karla Holloway, Mark Anthony Neal and Grant Farred.
Also, a reassurance to minority students that if you threaten to rape a Duke employee's 16 year old daughter and head up a frat that the national chapter suspends, you too can be honored with elite awards at the end of your tenure at Duke.
Ignoring due process in white america.
As former Democratic Presidential candidate George McGovern said to former United States Senator and his Vice-presidential candidate Senator Eagleton so long ago, here at Duke University, we support our students 1,000 per cent more-or-less, give or take a few percentage points depending on the situation provided there is not a question of presumed . . . whatever.

It is said that he thanked Forepaugh for the free publicity he had given him.

"I know, indeed, that some honest men fear that a republican government cannot be strong; that this government is not strong enough.
"But would the honest patriot, in the full tide of successful experiment, abandon a government which has so far kept us free and firm, on the theoretic and visionary fear that this government, the world's best hope, may by possibility want energy to preserve itself? I trust not.
"I believe this, on the contrary, the strongest government on earth. I believe it is the only one where every man, at the call of the laws, would fly to the standard of the law, and would meet invasions of the public order as his own personal concern."

My name is Paula McClain. I am the incoming chairperson for Academic Council. On behave of the BOT and our President, I want to give you a special welcome.
Although Duke University has existed for many decades, I want to tell you that it has changed dramatically in the last 15 years. We used to be such a backwards university, trying to pass oursevles as educators. You simply would not believe the courses we used to teach.
Well we have moved to the 21st century and now are catching up to the most racist, bigotist, Marxist, place of higher learning. We no longer are bound by scholarship, now we esteem those who can elevate discourse to include how we are going to advance the demise of western civilization by the end of this decade.
We cannot escape the fact that most of you have heard about the lacrosse team. Well, we have quielty been recruiting more faculty and now want to include students as well to join the Group of 88. I guarantee, that for those of you that want to go into education, this will be a bright star in your resume.
So, welcome to the Duke family, and we have some new pots in the lobby we'd like you to bring to our new get together.

What makes "SpiderPig" so funny is that a regular pig would make a terrible superhero. The genius exists in the fact that even a magical or superintelligent pig can only aspire to share a few human traits, such as speech or walking on hind legs. Thus, for even magical or highly intelligent pigs, the dream of being a superhero is just that - a dream.
Much like SpiderPig, the Gang of 88 have attempted to take on mantles that they cannot, in their wildest dreams, and even after many lifetimes of instruction by competent professors, ... take on.
Thus, even assuming reincarnation and that the reincarnated spirits would continue pre-existing research in future existences, this Gang of SpiderPigs could not be expected to contribute to society.

SPOCK: Set phasers to "REAL SCIENCE":
Even a third grader knows that "PATHOS THEORY" provides that in a perfect politically correct system, the degree of randomness and pathetic-ness of intended and unintended consequences depends upon the emotional variance from true justice.
The "BILLY MUMY POSTULATE" provides that the fear created in a perfect politically correct system depends upon the "Number" of people exercising "Power" without the "Likelihood" of any type of retribution. It looks like this:
(P x N) - L = Fear
There has to be a way to balance this equation. The sociological balance to the equation, of course, is the BACKLASH. In this case, the backlash was (and continues to be) monumental because of the large numbers in the equation above.
A lot of people with a lot of power and no liklihood of retribution went 180 degrees away from true justice.
(P x N) + L = Backlash
Backlash = a really big number, man

Hey Gregory...when I read your last post it occurred to me that the Supreme Court, the legal profession and legal academics have been misinterpreting the Constitution all these years. The right to bear arms does not refer to firearms after all.
What that right entitles us to is arms from Ursus Americanus, prosthetically attached. We all have the right to Ursus arms. Each American, of course, can choose his own species of arm as long as its a bear arm. Now, that clearly invites the question of whether we are also entitled to the right to bear claws. That'll have to be litigated in various appelate jurisdictions and, of course, decided in the Supreme Court.
So, in that vein, how about this:

My name is Professor Paula McClain and I am in charge this year of weekly campus seminars concerning the faculty handbook and our campus judicial system.
Forthcoming and Goings
Now...to offer an observation...
from the Bill of Rights:
"Amendment VI
In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense."
Paula McLain could address the subject:
"How to obtain, in Durham NC, 'an impartial jury ... wherein the crime shall have been committed."
It is tautologically impossible for Durham to meet the hurdle of impartiality. Accordingly, Durham (by definition) must be adjudged unconstitutional and should not be allowed to function as a governmental unit anyomre. Someone needs to be appointed as a conservator of the good people of Durham....what to do with the bad people is problematic. I'd suggest a speedy trial and the "Chihuahua al Pacífico."
We can invent the facts as needed. After all, many in Durham voiced the notion that facts don't matter.

Hi. I am Professor McLain. Please let me profess. You are here at Duke...welcome. First, an important subject. "Facts." We've all seen these elusive notions flittering about the media and the judiciary. Pay no mind. It is clear to my 87 brethren that a serious misunderstanding has occurred. Recently, "facts" have been mispelled in the media and the courts. The correct spelling is "F acts" just as there are "D acts" "C acts" "B acts" and "A acts".
To avoid "F acts" you should consider a major in one of the ASS departments ...that's our cute little acronym for "Angry StudieS". I should note that it used to stand for "Assinine StudieS... but we've really grown up."
Again, welcome to a F actless University.

Noticing the difference between the scratch of a fingernail on a blackboard and the sound of a Stadivari requires a discrimating ear.
Noticing the difference between the smell of rotten eggs and the smell of a rose requires a discriminating nose.
The carress of a lover or the heat of the stove....a dscriminating sense of touch.
Why may I ask is it wrong to discriminate?
Why is it not correct for the intellect (in addition to the senses) to discriminate?

Is "alternate penis theory" yours? I'm already a fan. What is it?

Slap another twenty pages on that and folks around Duke will call you "Dr. Inman."

When Columbus landed in the Americas, he wondered, "Who the hell is that with the bow tie?" But he said it in his mind in Italian. Amerikkka, Doris Kearns Goodwin (Duke Press 2007). MOO! Gregory
"covering up INNOCENCE"...the duke university educational mantra for the 21st century
"You can't HANDLE the truth!"
"We're listening! But our hearing aids are turned off."
"I'm frankly amazed that 88 of us knew how to write our names!"
"F'ing DNA!"
"88 is a fine number for a lynch mob!"
"Go get a rope."
"Are you sure that 888 isn't the number of the beast?"
"Welcome, David Duke! We have much in common, and much to talk about!"
CCI: the Duke version of CCC.
"Everything's looking up in Durham!"
"If we can't trust the police to lie for us, who can we trust?"
"The truth is out there.
It left Duke a long time ago."
"Kudos to Jimmy Carter! Many of out graduates will be living in
his housing one day!"
"Kudos to Jimmy Carter! Many of our gratuates will be living in
Habitat houses one day!"
How many 88ers does it take to change a light bulb?
Who is buried in Grant's tomb?
"We the 88ers want to all express our gratitude and admiration to Miss Tara Levicy, without whom
this would not be possible."
Turn your hatred, resentment, and erotic fantasies into cash.
"Acks me what have you done fo me today? Not what we can do for our fellow man" "We teach kids what they need to no bout racism"
"Presumption of Innocence: It's so last century."
"Welcome to Dook U.: the central front on the War on White People."
"88 Ways to Just Say No to Being Accountable for your Actions."
"At this fine institution, we will teach you to expand your mind. By the time you leave here, it will make sense to you that a black girl can falsely accuse (again) three white males of sexual assault, and yet the only person to be held accountable for HER actions is another white person."
"Welcome to Durham. May I suggest perusing the Chapel Hill apartment finder?"
"I understand that some of you professional students are aspiring lawyers. Anyone got 15 minutes for me on the meaning of the term 'slander'?"
"[whispering] Whaleena, Whaleena, can you believe we convinced MORE white people to come here any pay 45k per year to do it? Seriously, I really thought the gig was up, I was going to have to find a real job where I would have to actually do something, you know, meet expectations, be held accountable, etc., but seriously, look out there at 1,000 more Lemings ready to go, 45k in hand."
"Welcome distinguished students. I understand that (despite our best efforts, too) many of you worked very hard to get here today, having attained admission to this fine institution on your (gulp) merits and standardized test scores. You would do yourselves a great service to cease any goals at furthering your own merit, and instead devote your time to identifying which whites kept you from getting farther..."
"How do those Bloggers do it?
It's like they're reading our minds or something!"
McClain after an epiphany...
"Life is defined by how much you improve the lives of others."
Good luck.
May you do better than all of us have.
Out of curiosity -- who won?
(That, by the way, could be Paula McLain's talk subject --- or a legitimate question for this thread.)
Welcome to Duke where,(for a small fee),we will nurture your children into the "thugniggaintellectuals" you always dreamed they would be.
