Accredited Online College, Academy
Study-Abroad & Domestic College Counseling
Linda Christas College and Academy are I.A.S.C. accredited schools that provide a venue for students who do not respond well to pre-planned curricula. (All courses at Linda Christas are designed after determining the skill levels, aptitudes, learning style, and interests of the student, using such vehicles as the Holland Test.)
Both schools also provide advocacy services for college and high school students in the US, Europe and Asia.

America - A Once Great Nation
When Carefully Selected Hatreds Are Allowed to Set Domestic Policy
by Sheldon Tam, Linda Christas Class of '11
As a person of Asian descent, if I so chose, I could look back on history and note all sorts of injustices that have been perpetrated both by Asians upon Asians and other ethnic populations upon Asians.
We are all familiar with the hiring and labor abuses of ethnic Chinese in 19th century America.
Still, today in the US, there is a certain feeling that Asians are not necessarily cut out for leadership positions. As a result, despite stellar academic records, people similar to me in appearance are elected to public office in numbers well below their percentages in the US population.
Asian students by the thousands, having worked hard under the assumption that America is a land of equal opportunity, suddenly find that just working hard isn't enough, as places at elite public universities go to students far less qualified because of factors having nothing to do with ability or diligence.
Finally, contrary to the evidence of brilliant leadership when given an opportunity, and, as documented by their performance in other countries, CEO positions at American Fortune 500 companies are just not offered to Asians. This is not a glass ceiling. It is what I will call an amber ceiling.
Well, I am not about to send a horde of lawyers forth to curb the freedoms of others to correct these injustices. Injustices of this kind cannot be remedied through yet more tribalism. When an attempt is made to do that, one ends up, as in Nazi Germany, with one tribe slaughtering everyone else.
Couldn't happen in America? Think again!

When America Sentenced Discrimination to Death
Discriminate: To mark or perceive the best choice for the purpose of achieving the most excellent possible result.
I am only nineteen years of age, and should, by all that is natural, love my family, my friends and my country.
Sadly, only the first two of these commend themselves to my heart.
Based on my life experience, I am embarrassed to say that my country has treated me, and those I love, so shabbily, for so long, so as to transform the affection I should harbor for the land of my birth into a certain quiet despair, a despair rooted in the realization that fairness, and equal opportunity in America has been crushed, misshapen by ruinous social policies to such an extent, that our once great nation is now incapable of rewarding excellence in the grand, routine way the world once recognized as its signature.
Significantly before my lifetime, Discrimination, one of the most important characteristics of enlightened, evolving man, was sentenced to death in America.
Who could have imagined that the word itself would take on a negative meaning, to be followed by the Nation's plunge to the bottom of the developed world in virtually all important academic disciplines, and, with that plunge, the drying up of opportunities for advancement, as other populations by the dozens outdistanced, and continue to outdistance, our young, making them by comparison far less skilled and knowledgeable, and far too expensive to be paid for their meager accomplishments.
This tragic situation is not entirely the fault of the people. It is, rather, the fault of so-called intellectuals, leading those who didn't think, but who had the power to impose "feel good" policies on America's middle clas....

Gail Gardner, IBM Star, Accepts Executive Position with Linda Christas College/Academy
Gail Gardner
Gardner is known on the World Wide Web as a champion of worthy causes, and an astute judge of marketing strategies.
While with IBM, Gardner won three IBM Means Service Awards, the highest technical honor that company offers.
Site of Announcement During Dean's Tour
Upon leaving IBM, Gardner made her name advising businesses, both e-commerce and traditional companies, especially when they were transitioning to an online presence. Gardner is known for her teaching excellence in the areas of Web Design and Usability. Under her tutelage, several companies have dramatically increased their Internet visibility, traffic and conversions.
Gardner recommends strategies involving Local Search Engine Listings and the use of blogs and Social Media.
Dr. Ronald F. Bernard, Dean of the College, said in welcoming the new Director:
Schools like Linda Christas are in double jeopardy.
The US government- and IRS-favored Foundations, like the Gates Foundation, do not contribute to student-first educational institutions like Linda Christas. Any school which plans curriculum with reference to the skill levels, maturity level, aptitudes, interests, and learning style of the individual student does not qualify for a penny of tax or tax favored federal, state, or local financial aid, nor is a foundation rewarded with a tax exemption for supporting such a school.
As a result, Linda Christas College and Academy are completely on their own financially, and US families are double taxed for their decision to enroll a student with LC. In addition, foundations, who are free to donate to public schools and other schools that follow the top-down instruction model and rec....

Champions of Justice
by Sheryl McClellan LC Class of '11
US Attorneys
Soaring With Angels or Walking With Devils
It seems we have a lawyer problem in the United States.
Although at the conclusion of this article I will suggest some of the wonderful things lawyers could do with their degrees to both earn good (as opposed to regal) livings, and, at the same time, make simply living better for others, the first part of this article will be devoted to outlining what others have termed America's "lawyer problem."
I am not going to name names or divulge the sources of the numbers quoted here. It is a very basic exercise to find those names and numbers with simple Google searches, for those really interested in the subject.
And, it is my hope that, after reading this article, the reader will be sufficiently intrigued to look into the problem himself.
So, with that caveat, let's turn to the first unnamed individual, the Japanese Minister of Justice who has warned his fellow countrymen as follows, "I do not wish to see this Nation become another United States, with "freedom" simply a word to use in speeches, while a million two hundred thousand attorneys at every level of our society does his or her best every day to amass personal fortunes at the expense of civility."
Said differently, evidently this good minister doesn't wish to live in a Japan in which, like his American brothers, lawyers by the hundreds of thousands are allowed to define the law in such a dramatic way, passing society's norms through their own, some would say, skewed value systems.
The Minister, with a sense of emphatic condemnation, continued "American law schools are as I speak designing and presenting feminist and race based sensibility courses whose goals are to make illegal many forms of conversation throughout the United States of which they, the ministers of justice, do not approve. Do we want this for Japan? I say an emphatic, no! America is now a Country without anything but rules, rules and more rules, beyond the power of our Gods to remember.
These race and feminist sensibility courses are creating law graduates often embittered, brainwashed or in some deviant way prepared to lower the sword of Damocles upon perpetrators of "speech crimes," crimes defined in accordance with whatever ethics currently in vogue among other lawyers."
What is the Japanese Justice Minister suggesting....

Linda Christas College
Undergraduate, Graduate, Continuing Education
Unlike traditional colleges that maintain large academic departments whose accreditations are granted automatically as a result of campus-wide cursory inspections and evaluations, Linda Christas College creates majors in a dynamic way, recruiting top academics in fields of study as student demand requires.
Each degree is designed to capture the most from a student's aptitudes, interests, skill levels, and learning style.
There are no auditorium-size classes in a Linda Christas College experience. Rather, the Linda Christas College student studies with the same format as he or she would be presented at a traditional university such as Oxford or Cambridge.
Linda Christas is not limited in the sense of having to depend on a small group of academics who may or may not be the best in their field. Linda Christas can and does employ first-tier academics as point in time consultants to design and present courses to both undergraduates and graduate students.
Linda Christas offers a full range of accredited degrees in the same variety and quality as would be found at a prestigious university, often employing the same professors who have delivered classes at Harvard, Juniata, Oxford, Beloit, Georgetown, Berkeley, Williams, Pomona, Grinnell and the Sorbonne.
