He’s connected to another hate group, “Lawless America”" and William (Bill) M. Windsor of lawlessamerica.com
This man is scamming, stalking, bullying and fraudulently using identifying personal information and much more.

One of the supposed strenghts of getting an online degree is that you don’t have to drive (or fly-if far away) to classes, and don’t have to put up with everyone else in the classes asking obvious or irrelevant questions, or just generally consuming everyone’s time. However, in this case, the tuition, fees, etc. would only be worth it if one were able to get into a classroom with the people who think they need to “learn” from this place. Of course, it’s free to just walk around in Walmart all day long and talk to its patrons…

Also, if going with the online option, there must be a diploma mill out there that can give out these degrees for free. What difference would it really make?

Oh, Hell, Aron, Disciple Hunter is just a genuine pate-rot.

Hey Disciple Hunter, might I enquire as to the purpose of your post? Because aside from misplaced criticism, I didn’t get much out of it…

I thought I would stop by and see what all the haters have to say about the Sherman Institute. I agree with Linnea, “Unfortunately, there’s not much you can do for those who choose to be stupid. Well said. The comment from Reynardine, “You know, there used to be laws against such Prostitutions of Higher Learning.” You know there used to be laws against snake oil salesman, now we give them a license and call them “doctors.” Now they poison your children with your permission. And how about your government sanctioned clergy men? Did you know they take a license from the state to preach the Gospel. Since when do I need a license to talk about Jesus Christ? But who am I kidding, you people probably eat at Burgerking, and drink diet coke and eat dinner from a box. My last point here is simple…even you impoverished people at SPLC can understand it. You call this HATEWATCH, but as far as I can tell, that’s what you are spewing forth, maybe you should be watching yourselves. Matthew 12:37 you call this a school for scoundrels, yes it is- ever heard of Han Solo? I can only pray for you poor people. May God bless you and keep you from all the haters out there. John 15:18 Can I get an AMEN!

How insidious this “Patriot School of scoundrels” shows how wonderful this country is. To give rights to these idiots. It also shows the intelligence of the American People not to fall for them.

Gregory, apparently minted prescious metals are preferred. I agree, Federal Reserve notes and postal money orders are not consistent. Shoes might be good in view of Roger’s profession!

As we all know from the musical “1776,” Roger Sherman declined to write the Declaration of Independence because “I don’t know a participle from a predicate / I am just a simple cobbler from Connecticut.”

By: Gregory

Gregory — Wed, 13 Jun 2012 23:37:37 +0000

According to the school’s website, Sherman was “a man of impeccable moral fibre” with an “absolute hatred of paper money,” who “walked to the beat of a vastly different drummer than those who occupy modern Wall Street and Washington, D.C.”

If they share an absolute hatred of “paper money” then what do the accept for tuition payments? Cows, camels or precious metals?

Brilliant and pithy point that was Rey! Unfortunately short of violence and malicious intent, anybody is allowed to open these sort of mind-control cyber cults masquerading as legitimate educational institutes without fear of our largely out-of-touch federal government coming to take a whizz all over their parade. Suddenly, DeVry and University of Phoenix have a new aura of legitmacy, in direct contrast anyways…

Erika,
You summed up a good point in your last comment. When the fool’s who attend and then eventually graduate from that “con university”. They may have a very difficult time seeking employment in the real world. Because their degrees/certificates is seen as non-legit.

@Erika

I agree with you. Unfortunately this will serve as cover for extremists who could never make it in a real academic setting, who will than be able to show off their fake degrees to the gullible.

I feel sorry for the “home schooled” students who are going to be forced to take “classes” from this con of a “university.” Especially when they learn that like the Liberty University home classes no reputable actual university is going to accept these credits and nobody in their right mind would accept a degree from this con.

CDragon,

I concur with that notion. This school is definitely recommended for anyone who wants to learn a re-written and fallacious given history.

I’ve taken a look at their course offerings. I suspect one popular course will be remedial English:
“WritingTutorial (EN-91.3) can be taken rather quickly, and cover things we may have forgotten from our Junior High
years.”
I especially like that coy first person plural pronoun!

Leah Nelson,

Thanks for telling us about this abomination. This would be a wonderful place to go for anyone who wants an “education” free of facts. Do they teach creationism as well?

*Sighs.* ……Who… Who would be a student at this nuthouse? …WHY would anyone PAY to learn from these nutjobs? I-I’m sorry, I know I’m normally more coherent and all, but I REALLY can’t wrap my head around this one. I’m paying 6000 dollars every six months for a REAL degree that will actually get me jobs, and someone has the money to shill out that much to pay for an insane asylum that’ll get them nothing at ALL? WHYYYYY?!

I wonder what percentage of instructors at this new institute of higher learning actually hold degrees from legitimate institutes of higher learning.

I’d love to learn about their accreditation status. Something tells me their Ph.Ds don’t hold that much water…
