Fair Social Commentary on Problems in Higher Education around the US and World Today

Brace yourself for a wild ride through the murky depths of academia! This blog, "Trying to Sue the U," is a parody, a satirical fairy tale for adults (it's too scary for kids!) about one lecturer's fight to protect his civil rights - a battle that cost him his job and wages. Is this truth, or is this fiction? You be the judge! Join our Brave Little Lecturer as he navigates the treacherous bureaucratic maze, facing roadblock after roadblock. It's a rollercoaster of emotions, packed with sharp wit, humor, opinion, and fair comment about the corrupt underbelly of the ivory tower. This isn't a passive observer's tale - it's a war cry, a call to arms (a peaceful one, of course) against the self-declared elite who play by their own rules. Prepare to be outraged, inspired, and thoroughly entertained as the system's dirty secrets are laid bare for all to see. Disclaimer: The Brave Little Lecturer fully realizes and acknowledges that the other members of the cast might have very different opinions on the matter at hand! No malice here, just good ole satire about a matter of public interest. Any similarity between the names of the characters here and any real person living or dead, is purely coincidental -- and we can't imagine why any parent would give those names to children, anyway!

Chapter 6: What Price Justice? The Tale of the Lawyers

Image
Don't know the cast members of this drama yet?   Read about them here first ! So far in this our tale of fighting the injustice in extreme, We see the lawyers promise, as they weave a hopeful dream. They talk about their fights for justice ‘till they are so very blue, But when you call to them for help, you’ll find the fees will fast accrue! Typical lawyer counting his cash.  You’re faced with voices oh-so-smooth, just like a silken thread, Who tell you proudly, oh-so-loudly of the battles they have led; But this, dear friends, is just a clever bit of propaganda, For what they’ll never say is just how many they’ve abandoned! So when you are in need of help against a mighty foe, An adversary flush with cash, who lies and makes a show; You tell the lawyers, “Now’s the time to prove of what you’re made,” But then the shining truth comes out, and their intentions fade. They tell you when they advertise or speak in the abstract, That those who face injustice and have had their jobs...
