David A. Yeagley - the right's counter to Ward Churchill

[paineinthearse]

I attended a democratic forum yesterday at Umass, Amherst. The YAFfers had flyers plastered all over the student union stating “Ward Churchill was never an Indian. Indians have always known that. He’s pose as one for over 30 years, but not that the chicken’s come home to roost”.(Sorry for the grammar, it’s theirs, not mine.

...and a visit by Dr. David Yeagley.

DAVID YEAGLEY



David Yeagley is a Comanche Indian and member of the Comanche Nation.

Dr. Yeagley is a columnist for Front Page Magazine, the Internet newspaper run by David Horowitz. In his columns, Dr. Yeagley advocates conservative ideas from an American Indian point of view. These include the right of citizens to own firearms as well as the value of American patriotism.

In addition, Dr. Yeagley believes the American Indian warrior mascots and monikers are a positive image, and, when understood, are important in American society.

For the last five years, Dr.Yeagley taught Humanities and Psychology for Oklahoma State University. During those years he developed a concern for American patriotism.

In August of 2000, Dr. Yeagley presented the idea of teaching patriotism in public schools to Governor Frank Keating. The Governor supported the idea, and asked for a formal proposal to present to the Oklahoma State Legislature 2001 session. His proposal was presented to the Governor in November of 2000.

Dr. Yeagley was fired from OSU-OKC in May, 2001, as a result of his public advocacy of conservative views. In September, 2001, he began teaching for the University of Oklahoma's College of Liberal Arts.

Dr. Yeagley has appeared on radio stations throughout the country, and appeared on Hannity & Colmes with Russell Means in April, 2001. Yeagley makes public speaking appearances at colleges, clubs, and churches.

Dr. Yeagley holds degrees from Oberlin, Yale, Emory, University of Hartford, and the University of Arizona. He obtained his doctorate from the University of Arizona.

He was born and raised in Oklahoma City.

His own biography reveals his connection with the CIA's Pahlavai family/foundation.
http://www.badeagle.com/html/biography.html

David A. Yeagley was born in Oklahoma City. He is a direct descendent of Bad Eagle (quin-ne kish-su-it), headman of a Antelope (kwerharenu) Comanche band (1839-1909). Yeagley is an enrolled member of the Comanche Tribe, Lawton, Oklahoma.

He holds a Bachelor of Arts from Oberlin Conservatory of Music; a Master of Divinity from Yale University; a Master of Arts from Emory University; an Artist Diploma from Hartt School of Music; and a Doctorate of Musical Arts from the University of Arizona. He was a special student (doctoral level) at Harvard, in American Studies.

Yeagley is a classically trained pianist, composer, and lyricist. He has created a new system of harmonic organization, and presented it in a formal lecture in Israel, 1998. There his duet for oboe and bassoon, exemplifying the new tonality, was premiered. Yeagley has written a grand opera based on the story of Jack Eisner, a Holocaust survivor. He has written for solo guitar, Indian flute, chamber groups, voice, and orchestra.

Dr. Yeagley has studied religion, literature, and history. He has written many scholarly research papers, book-length manuscripts, and also epic poetry and fiction. He has written works on Christology, biblical studies, literary criticism (specializing in Poe and Hawthorne), and musicology.

Yeagley has a special interest in Persian culture. He wrote the only epic poetry in English in the 20th century. Jahan-dideh (1984) is a collection of seven epics, dedicated to Her Imperial Majesty, The Shahbanou of Iran Farah Diba Pahlavai. Yeagley writes regularly for Persian Heritage Magazine, and serves on the editorial board. Dr. Yeagley spent a two week lecture tour in Iran, 1999. He lectured at the University of Tehran, and at Ferdowsi University, Masshad. He visited Razavi University as well. He presented a paper on "Zoroaster and the Jews" to the Iranian Studies Conference in Washington in 2000, and is scheduled to present another, "David and Darius" 2002.

Yeagley is a portrait artist as well. In 1989, he created a genealogy in portraiture, "Bad Eagle and His Descendents," which showed at Yale Peabody Museum, Philips Academy Peabody Museum, and in Boston's President's Church (Quincy). This collection of portraits includes the male line of a single Comanche family, beginning with Bad Eagle, and ending with Yeagley himself.

Dr. Yeagley has written Indian poetry, and plays Comanche flute. He also gourd dances, and designed his own gourd.

Since January, 2001, Yeagley has written regular columns for Front Page Magazine, the internet news journal of David Horowitz . Yeagley has since appeared on national television and radio, and his articles have appeared in several newspapers in the country. Yeagley is also on the Young America's Foundation speakers list, and speaks at colleges and universities.

Dr. Yeagley is an American Indian Patriot, and has advocated the mandatory teaching of patriotism in public schools . His proposal to the Oklahoma State legislature was endorsed by Governor Frank Keating , and is currently being considered and refined for presentation in the near future.

Dr. Yeagley has taught at Oklahoma State University, Oklahoma City, University of Central Oklahoma, and currently teaches for University of Oklahoma. He has taught Humanities and Psychology since 1996. Yeagley has six years of social work experience in Connecticut, working with the elderly, and emotionally disturbed children and youth.

Can any Oklahoma teachers shed more light on "mandatory teaching of patriotism in public schools", specifically provide examples of the curicula?

1. I just listened to this guy on c-span

what an ass! He thinks the Indians are responsible for their troubles. He says it's their attitude! He wants them to be warriors again. What? It sounded like he would like them to go back living like they did 200 years ago. He calls the whiners. What? I know that they have social problems, but with 75% unemployment on some reservations, I think that depression would probably be the norm. He called casino Indians thieves. But, he would like all the casino money to put in an Indian bank account, with special Indian currency to be doled out to all Indians. What? Let's isolate these people more. He said that the Indians didn't want to be Americans and didn't want to assimilate into America. What? Wasn't there a special WW II Indian unit, and plenty of other Indians who helped protect this country?

I am starting to think that EVERY repub can only tell lies, and twist the truth.

2. I listened to this man last night, too.

He seems to be working against his own best interests. Just my opinion.

3. Badeagle: dictating oversimplified curricula 4 those w/o vouchers

He works for his own interests to the detriment of the entire Oklahoma Indian community. He seems to seek out opportunities to denigrate Native American people. He took Scott Morrison's place railing against tribes for the anti-Indian groups. He is bright. But as a friend put it, "He must have a warped conscience."

I think www.okgop.com (may be org) is where the GOPOK platform is located. It features shrill common school and higher education provisions, seeks to limit teachers' rights, dictates curricula, limits educational funding, puts religion in the schools, makes mandatory intelligent design, "In God We Trust" in the flag salute, prohibits alternative sociology, moves curriculum decisions (within these norms) to local school boards... and then goes all out for vouchers, homeschool and strict civil rights for parents accused of child abuse. Its chilling.

And, btw, it calls for tribes to be abolished in the spirit of equality, limits on trust land, abolishes affirmative action, etc.
