Dr. Lucas J. Mather, Ph.D.
Professor Mather uses this page to document his life as a Republican Adjunct Professor in Lost Angeles.
Professor Mather has been making California great again as an Adjunct Professor of Philosophy, Humanities, and Politics for nearly two decades in the Golden State. One of the keys to making education great again in Lost Angeles is refusing to bow to pressure from corrupt swamp administrators to inflate grades and coddle lazy student entitlement. It takes a lot of courage to do this. But Republicans and others must stand up to Democrat domination, control, and corruption of Higher Education. Professor Mather does that to the best of his ability. But he needs your help.
Higher “Education” has become a Democrat Indoctrination Grade-Inflation Plantation. At tax-payer expense.
