#charles' school is not accredited

[fathercharlesoffdensen]

In my experience as a fandom veteran of [redacted] years, hyperfixating on fictional people is a lot more fun a) as a curated experience that maximizes enjoyment and minimizes 'hate-watching' and ship wars and harassing franchise creators and trolling; and b) when the end-goal of every interaction, fandom contribution, etc. isn't mining for ~problematic elements in a piece of media and/or amongst those who 'like' something the 'wrong' way. I spent last summer mired in health issues from mold poisoning and the house renovations that followed, during which consciously escaping into beloved fictional worlds via Tumblr and AO3 kept me sane(r than I probably would have been otherwise) - knowing that they're there when I need/want to visit is probably going to factor into my survival of the current summer as well ngl. Fandom! Come for the .GIF sets, fanart, meta, memes, (civil) discourse, and friendships; weed out unnecessary drama as much as possible.

Case-in-point, I've been working my way through the original Uncanny X-Men comic run from the 1960s, and Charles Xavier's moral ambiguity is on dazzling, four-color, two-dimensional display, as well as some rather ~dated representations of disability and the era's gender roles. Indeed, those who balk at the Rogue / Magneto ship likely have even more ire for Professor X's old-school skirt-chasing, pipe-smoking incarnation, especially when he struggles not to make his mentor-student relationship with Jean Grey even more inappropriate than it already appears to be. In my personal life, I try to avoid relationship drama, behave ethically, and communicate clearly because, like daydreaming about gay ships, doing so enhances my quality of life. On the other hand, I want to roll around in the stank of all of my favorite fictional hot messes and their bad decisions and 'unhealthy' relationship dynamics and weird sex preferences, essentially for the same reason. Below are clues for an in-post skeevy Charles scavenger hunt for your continued enjoyment:

Charles out-skeeving Mister Sinister;

Chillaxing at the Hellfire Club with Tony Stark;

Mystique remarking on Krakoa! Charles' "gross" notion to create / continue a mutant leg of the CIA;

Early 60s Wolverine isn't a fan of old-school Chuck either;

Charles scaring the crap out of Scott Summers(/other mutants);

The X-Men rough-housing and nearly harming Charles;

Odin Charles in a jaunty wizard disguise;

Jean practically climbing onto Charles' lap during a battle;

Jean taking up both nursing (!!!) and cooking (!!!) duties for Charles and like four gross teenage mutant dudes;

Charles and Jean icing out the other X-Men regarding Charles' impending death(/'death' - he gets revived almost as much as she does), much to Scott, Hank, Iceman, and Angel's discontent.

TL;DR: In the immortal words of the great philosopher, Thor Christopher Hemsworth, "Do stuff, be nice, have fun" aka don't be a dick. Have a great summer!

I've recently been subjected to the first two X-Men movies and I literally cannot stop thinking about what a shitshow professor x's academy for mutant babies is as an actual school.

there's no way they're accredited, right? there are four teachers (three post-X2, RIP) and three of them were raised by the fourth. you clearly don't need any actual teaching credentials to work there other than a mutation and nepotism. I don't believe any of these people have a degree in the subjects they're teaching, let alone in education or human development. there appears to be a total lack of counseling services available, despite the fact that most of the student body are apparently runaways who all face heavy society discrimination. did Rogue get any support after she was kidnapped and almost killed by Magneto in the first movie or did Xavier just give her brain zappies until she was functional again.

there's no way in hell a "diploma" from the charles xavier institute for genetically anomalous youth is worth anything on a college application. do all of these kids end up having to get a GED if they want to have a prayer of accessing higher education? do they receive any support for that?

also did I mention there are four adults in this entire school. in X2 they all take off on the same night and leave the kids in the care of Logan, a famously unstable man who freaked out and stabbed a student last time he visited. it would have been lethal if it was anyone but Rogue. also in X2 half the student body has to flee in the night in their pajamas with no one to take care of them but a teenage Colossus and the adults just. do not feel the need to follow up on that. because they're busy dealing with the stupid plot du jour.

the entire setup seems like a massive lawsuit waiting to happen; while we the audience obviously know that there's nothing malicious happening to the kids (except for mutant terrorists and trained mercenaries alike regularly infiltrating the school) you have to admit that an unlicensed group home for children, some of whom are very young, masquerading as a school and staffed entirely by people with no real credentials to speak of is a pretty bad look. I think genuinely any parent would have a pretty strong case for a lawsuit here and it wouldn't even necessarily be mutantphobic of them to do it, although of course anyone with an anti-mutant agenda could have a field day here. genuinely I have to assume that the only way they've avoided it this long is Xavier lobotomizing anyone who tries it, which is so cool and normal.

*stressing about being unable to admire the sights of albert park bc i’m stress-running from the opposite end of the track to my station*

pls don’t be a dick and say i’m late - i know

how is a 5am wake up not early enough HOW?

[rottentiger-art]

I hope you don’t mind me, but I’m inspired to organize the whole anon asks regarding PCA into one and adding some stuff. Here’s basically my take of what I think happened:

Pacific Coast Academy was actually accredited by the Department of Education of California. Originally, it was an all-boy’s school until that changed when girls where allowed. Thus, becoming a coed boarding school. The last dean, Charles Rivers, goes through a hard time in his personal life and borrows some money from the school, swearing to himself that he’ll pay it back. Then, him borrowing money repeats again and again.

The school board starts noticing inconstancies in the school finances and an investigation is done, which reveals that the school is basically near bankruptcy. The media somehow catches wind of it and has a field day, twisting things for their own purposes. There’s uproar and backlash from the public. Then, the rumors start floating around that PCA is a diploma mill. There are even pictures from events that happened at PCA that are taken out of context to explain why PCA is a scam. Some parents who have their children in the school get worried about this and make the decision to start pulling their children from the school.

The media, the public backlash and parents pulling their children from PCA leads to the downfall of the school. It has no choice but to close its doors. 15 years later, everyone still believes that PCA was a diploma mill and let teenagers loose in the campus. None of the students do anything to dismiss the rumors, because no one believes them when they tell the truth.

Fast forward a little to after Logan and Quinn’s marriage. Logan buys the PCA campus out of impulse, then gives it to Quinn as a wedding gift. Quinn just sighs at her husband, asking what was his intention in buying it and he’s like, we rebuild PCA back to its former glory…? Quinn doesn’t think it’s a bad idea, so she runs with it and pulls a few strings here and there from people she knows in the science field, talking about how she’d like a STEM curriculum for her new school. People are on board with her idea, because, duh, Dr. Quinn Pensky is like a big deal and she’s legit so, of course, the new PCA campus won’t go to hell like the last one.

Long story short, Quinn works from the ground up to make sure that PCA is up to standards, hiring qualified people, making sure to do background checks, etcetera. When everything looks good, Quinn steps back and lets the people she hired take over, only making sure that they come to her for funding and such. Logan gets involved and talks the staff into setting up a scholarship for talented students who can’t afford PCA and proposes that it’d be called the Pensky Scholarship.

And when it’s time to inaugurate the new and improve PCA campus, Logan and Quinn are there to cut the ribbon. Both are known as the patrons of the PCA campus.

If one Stacy Del Figalo causes a storm over her investigation over what truly happened on the old PCA campus, then that’s another story. The End.

This was so good, so sorry it took me a while to answer it. But I loved it. You did a great job at putting it all together and honestly, I'd 100% read a fic like that.

Some things I'd like to add to this AU. Mostly headcanons.

I really want their friends to get involved on this AU too, damn, even Zoey. Like I said, I think Chase being a teacher shouldn't go to waste, I'd like to see him teaching at PCA.

I definitely need Lola to appear, in whatever way she could help. I doubt she would take on a teaching role, but I'd like for her to be an inversionist (bc I refuse to believe she's not a famous and successful actress now). Maybe even make special appearances at the school, support and help build the Drama Class (idk the name). I bet the theater kids would freak out about her.

Same thing for Michael, I'd like for him to be an investor and be involved in the music department. As a producer he must know a lot of artist and the kind. Maybe he recommends a some people to take on the teaching role there (a failed artist that desperately needed a job could be a fun character lol)

I really don't think Zoey would leave her job as a producer, but let's pretend: I think Zoey would work as an Art Teacher, since that was more her thing than being a producer. And/or a temporary dorm advisor, until the school is fully staffed (I'd be funny to see her take on the role Coco had, specially considering she kinda acted like her on the movie)

Lola and Michael could do the same too, take temporary roles, if their schedule lets them.

idk what Stacey and Mark would be doing tbh, I'll leave that to anyone else who wants to add lol

probably still chasing the Malibu murderer.

now, about Quogan:

I really want a pregnancy plot to emerge at some point during this AU, and it motivates them to create the school they want their future children to go one day.

So maybe they were kinda like "what do we do with this place now?" but when they found out they're pregnant they got motivated af and emotional about it.

Obviously, Logan wouldn't let Quinn overwork herself and Quinn would keep Logan at bay so he didn't go overboard like he did with the wedding. Tho I assume by then he had learned his lesson, I'm gonna give him credit.

I like to think being able to work together, having a project of their own, specially while expecting, brought them closer (if that's possible). Like all the process was stressful at times and there probably were some disagreement/fights, but overall, it was an enjoyable time, precious memories to recall later one.

I also just love the idea of Quogan working as a team.

I did have the hc that Logan restored and engraved their bench, I'd like to see this on this AU too, I always loved engraved and dedicated benches (@honeyflower15 wrote something similar on their story "Quogan at PCA", fully recommend that fic, it's my s5 now)

PCA now would also be adapted to modern times, equipped with TEKMATE technology, I'm sure.

Maybe they both go a little over the top there, adding stuff they wished the school had when they were younger and maybe exaggerating the vision :p

Imagine, they keep a journal together, documenting their journey of building and transforming PCA. They write down their memories, challenges, and triumphs, creating a beautiful story that they can share with their future children with photos and all *sobs*

I'd like to see Lyric get involved too! omg I can see her invite herself on the project, maybe trying to convince Quinn and Logan to hire her as a musical teacher/art teacher or smth and throw a fit those jobs are occupied and Logan finding something else for her to do XD

For the inauguration day, Logan and Quinn cut the ribbon together, it'd be so cute, Quinn holding the scissors and him behind her, placing his hands over hers, ahhhh

I imagine their speeches are like, heartfelt, emotional, they would talk about their own experience at PCA (in general) and how they hope this new generation [camera dramatically pans out to their baby/toddler (who I assume it's already born bc school building and organizing takes a loooot of time) in the arms of their aunty Lyric] has the same experiences as they did. And obviously promises of not letting PCA fall again like it did and keep everything in check.

the order of the speeches go like this on my head: first Zoey (bc, of course), Chase, Michael, Lola, Logan and then Quinn. Or maybe Logan and Quinn gave the speech together.

There would probably be stands to showcast the different subjects that would be teached at PCA, for the science, chemistry, engendering and all that stands I think Quinn would had given the opportunity to some interns of her to organize those (she paid them, of course)

Quinn's success (as well as Michael, Lola, Zoey and Logan's) would definitely drive parents to trust this new PCA, wanting their children to reach that level one day. So, it'd give them good publicity or smth.

I feel like Zoey would offer to give the Facility Tour, idk why.

Lola and Michael would handle the performances and demonstrations. I assume because of their fame, there were a lot of willing participants and aspiring students that took the chance to perform under their guidance.

Quinn and Chase would deal with the Parent and Students Orientation. Quinn would deal mostly with the Q&As, since she's more informed about the School's insight, administration, etc. Chase would offer his insight as one of the Teachers and all that, telling them of his teaching methods and stuffs.

Logan would have organized the Celebratory Gathering (yes, I had to look up what a school inauguration day looks like shhh)

I promise, he learned his lesson, not over the top celebration this time. But he definitely left them impressed.

I imagine a cute moment at the end, where when the day is done and the guest and parents have left already (I'm assuming the Inauguration Day is a day before the first day of School, so the new students must be settling in their dorms and going to bed by then and classes would start the next day, idk), and Logan and Quinn are sitting on their bench, with their kid in arms, sleeping, just quietly enjoying the moment, satisfied with how they day turned out like and just so happy *sobs, an exaggerated amount*

Like, such a cute picture, they're sitting on the same bech where they shared their first kiss, on the place they met, now with a kid of their own, happily married and having rebuild their school, allowing other children to have what they did *sobbing but like so fucking much omg*

I suppose Zoey and Chase would be having a little moment somewhere too, but wgaf about them.

and an extra headcanon: their bench becomes like a urban legend now, some school lore idk, where there's the rumor that If you kiss on that bench, a timeless bond will be sealed, and your love will endure for eternity. Or some corny shit like that, idk. It has to be a first kiss tho.

Okay, that's all I got for now. Still don't know who they'd hire as dean, but definitely someone trustworthy, not just anyone, like you said, Quinn would have ran a bg check. There's much more to add and I invite anyone to keep contributing to this lovely AU.

And thank you again, anon. I loved what you did!

[racefortheironthrone]

Are there any comics that go into the academic side of mutant liberation? like, are there departments of mutant studies? mutant theorists? what’s the cross pollination with other disciplines like?

This is a great question!

For a series that has centered around schools for the better part of sixty years, we haven't actually seen that much of academia in the X-Men books. Partly, this has to do with the series' focus on secondary education - the Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters or the Jean Grey School for Higher Learning or the Xavier Institute for Mutant Education and Outreach are all high schools (and contrary to their reputation in the fandom, mostly accredited and capable of matriculating students to top-tier universities) - but when we have seen mutants move on to tertiary education, it's usually from an undergraduate perspective.

So we've seen storylines focused on clashes between anti-mutant groups like Purity and the pro-mutant rights organization Students for Tolerance (one of the few examples of an actual grassroots social movement in the history of the mutant metaphor) and attacks on an exchange program between Empire State University and the Xavier Institute, or Kate Pryde dealing with Purity trying to set up false flag operations by sabotaging high-end physics experiments and blaming it on mutants, and so forth. In these stories, we tend to see mostly conventional academic disciplines - Kate Pryde goes into Astrophysica, Xuân Cao Mạnh gets a degree in Library Studies, Bobby Drake becomes a CPA, and so forth.

While there absolutely would have been a massive push for mutant studies in the social sciences starting in the 70s and 80s, the main intersection between mutantdom and academia has tended to be in the sciences. Charles Xavier is absurdly overly-educated, with a dual PhD in Genetics and Biophysics from Oxford and a joint PhD in Psychology, Psychiatry, and Anthropology from Columbia, and his position as a world expert on mutation seems to be grounded on research into the social impact of mutations. Likewise, Moira MacTaggart got her PhD in Genetics from Oxford, won the Nobel Prize for isolating the X-gene, and founded a Mutant Research Center on Muir Island (which is an insane choice of locations for a scientific institute, just saying). Finally, Hank McCoy's frankly counter-productive six PhDs are all in the sciences, including Biophysics, Biochemistry, and Genetics, and his Nobel I believe was for curing the Legacy Virus.

Gwendolyn Knight

At just 7 years old her mother gave her over to trusted close friends with whom she immigrated from Barbados to the US with. Eventually settling in Harlem, NY where she graduated from Wadleigh High School in 1930. Now known as Wadleigh Secondary School For the Performing and Visual Arts, the only accredited arts high school in Harlem.

She went on to attend Howard University studying fine arts with Lois Mailou Jones and printmaker James Lesesne Wells from 1931-1933. The thick of The Great Depression caused financial hardship for Knight who had to drop out before receiving her degree. She then returned to NY and began work at the Works Projects Administration as an assistant to the muralist, Charles Alston. She didn’t let her early departure from college stop her. She continued studying art at the Harlem Community Arts center where she was mentored by Augusta Savage. Through Savage, she met and was exposed to the work of other artists, poets, and writers of the Harlem Renaissance. 

In 1934 she joined another Works Projects Administration mural project, where she met fellow painter and future husband Jacob Lawrence. In 1946 Knight and her husband were invited to teach at Black Mountain College, a private Liberal Arts College in Black Mountain, North Carolina. Returning to work and live in NY during the 1950s.

She then moved with her husband to Seattle Washington after he accepted a job at the University of Washington’s School of Art. The traveling and work she has done from the 40s-60s some would say makes her an itinerant artist. She is quoted in a Callaloo magazine interview with Charles H. Rowell saying “It wasn’t necessary for me to have acclaim… I just knew that I wanted to do it, so I did it whenever I could.”

Knight procured support from the National Links, INC for her first one woman show that was developed in 1976. This exhibit created a greater desire for her works and acquiring of her pieces by national museums. 

Knight’s work was concentrated on storytelling paintings that illustrated the lives, culture, and history of African Americans that surrounded her own daily life.  Her paintings encompassed a diverse range of subjects such as still life, portraits, and urban scenes. She worked with a variety of different mediums from oil paints, water colors, and gouache. Later in her artistic journey her paintings started to have a more poetic depiction of animals through etching and monoprints. You can also see that she draws from her admiration for African dance, sculpture, and theatre.

It was a bright, sunny day in 2012, when the bell rang at the end of the fifth period at Southdown Secondary School. The students began to file out of the classrooms, but one student, John Smith, age 17, stayed behind.

John had thick, sandy-blond hair and hazel eyes, and he was wearing his usual school uniform, navy trousers, a white shirt and a navy jumper. His teacher, Mrs. Anderson, came up to him and said, "Time to get changed for your BHS Stage 3 exam, young man!"

John nodded and grabbed his gym bag, before heading off to the boys' changing room. He quickly changed out of his school uniform and into his horse riding attire. He was wearing a black riding jacket, black riding breeches and a white riding shirt, all of which were clean and pressed. He was also wearing riding gloves and carrying a riding crop, and his black riding boots were polished and shining.

John then left the school and was picked up by his parents, who drove him to the nearby BHS accredited riding school, Greenvale Stables. When they arrived at the stables, John put on his Charles Owen riding hat and mounted his horse, a chestnut thoroughbred called Daisy. Daisy was wearing a black bridle and a black saddle, and her tack was clean and well-groomed.

John rode his horse over to the arena, where the BHS Stage 3 exam was taking place. He dismounted, removed his hat and went into the classroom, where the examiner was waiting. After a moment, the examiner smiled and said "Congratulations, you have passed the exam!"

John was elated, and the months after the exam were filled with joy. He continued to take regular lessons at the stables, and eventually decided to pursue a career in horse riding. He has never looked back since.

First Sergeant Attorney Charles Hamilton Houston (September 3, 1895 – April 22, 1950) was a prominent lawyer, Dean of Howard University Law School, and NAACP’s first special counsel. He played a significant role in dismantling Jim Crow laws, attacking segregation in schools and racial housing covenants. He earned the title “The Man Who Killed Jim Crow”.

He was born in DC. His father William Le Pré Houston, the son of a former slave, had become an attorney and practiced in the capital. His mother, Mary Houston, worked as a seamstress. He attended segregated local schools, graduating from M Street High School at age 15. He studied at Amherst College beginning in 1911, was elected to the Phi Beta Kappa honor society, and graduated as valedictorian, the only African American student in his class. He returned to DC and taught English at Howard University.

As the US entered WWI joined the Army as an officer. He served as a First Lieutenant in the US Infantry, based in Fort Meade, with service in France.

He entered Harvard Law School. He was the first African American student elected to the editorial board of the Harvard Law Review and graduated cum laude. He earned a BA in law and a JD from Harvard. He was awarded a Sheldon Traveling Fellowship to study at the University of Madrid. He was admitted to the DC bar in 1924 and joined his father’s practice.

He was recruited to the Howard University faculty by the school’s first African-American president, Mordecai Johnson. He developed the school, beginning its years as a major national center for training African American lawyers. He extended its part-time program to a full-time curriculum and gained accreditation by the Association of American Law Schools and the American Bar Association. He influenced nearly one-quarter of all the African American lawyers in the US, including former student Thurgood Marshall.

He played a role in nearly every civil rights case that reached the SCOTUS between 1930 and Brown v. Board of Education.

He married Gladys Moran. He next married Henrietta Williams. They had one child, Charles Hamilton Houston, Jr. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence #alphaphialpha

"It is sad to note that many of those who operate health facilities, especially in the rural areas are not medical personnel while some are secondary school drop-outs. "We have sealed up many hospitals where quacks operate because their operations endanger the lives of residents. "This capacity training is to strengthen the taskforce to improve healthcare delivery and not to witch hunt.So that our people receive quality care as well as have trust in the healthcare system of the state," he said. The Commissioner urged residents to stop patronising quack doctors and report any illegal or unaccredited hospitals operating in their areas. "Report them to us, we promise not to reveal your identity and we will fish them out so as to save the lives of our people especially those in the rural areas," he said. Obidike said that the state government would establish the State Health Facility Monitoring Accreditation Unit in 2024 to facilitate proper accreditation and monitoring of hospitals. In his remarks, Dr Charles Okafor, a facilitator, said monitoring of health facilities was essential to ensuring improved quality of healthcare delivery to the residents of the state. Participants were drawn from members of the Nigerian Medical Association, Civil Society Organisations, Association of Private Medical Practitioners, Association of Optometrists and other health workers.

It was the summer of 2012, and John Smith, a young man of 18, was preparing to take his BHS Stage 3 exam at the prestigious Rosewood Riding School, an accredited BHS riding school. John had spent months preparing for the exam, and so he was determined to make the best impression he could.

John was wearing jodhpurs, tall riding boots, and a black riding shirt. His long hair was tied up in a neat bun, with a hairnet over it to complete the look, before he put on his Charles Owen riding hat. His boots were polished to a high shine, and he was wearing riding gloves.

John's horse, a chestnut gelding named Cinnamon, was dressed to the nines in a smart black bridle and saddle. His tack was immaculately clean and polished to a high shine.

John and Cinnamon entered the arena and began the exam, performing a variety of dressage movements and show jumping exercises. They worked together as one, and John's determination and skill paid off.

At the end of the exam, John returned to the stable block, dismounted, and removed his riding hat, revealing the hairnet he had been wearing underneath. He went into the classroom where the examiner was waiting and was congratulated for his achievement - he had passed the exam!

In the months that followed, John continued his riding education and took part in competitions and shows. He was now a fully qualified BHS Stage 3 rider and was proud of his accomplishment.

Rosewood Riding School had been the perfect choice for John's exam. With its experienced instructors and BHS qualified horses, it was an ideal place to take the exam and perfect his riding skills.
