Appeal to study anticommunitarianism in an academic institution

Re: Anti-Communitarian Studies Programs
Across America our esteemed universities offer courses in pro-Communitarian public policy studies. Coursework includes law, philosophy, political theory, religion and socio-economics.
We are concerned that these same schools do not offer courses that provide their students with a balanced view against the one-sided presentations offered by prominent Communitarian scholars.
While students are taught how to introduce and implement Communitarian programs after they graduate, none of them are asked to consider the legality of following their guru's advice to "reset" U.S. law. Students are being taught to ignore binding, legal restrictions against altering or sabotaging the U.S. Constitution. In fact many universities now teach students that the U.S. Constitution was written as a Communitarian document.
Not one alternate viewpoint on Communitarian theory is offered or included in the curriculum. No one questions the Communitarian's absurd claims to have suddenly appeared. American universities offer no side-courses or unbiased programs that include all relevant and verifiable documentation of the Communitarian's real history. Communitarianism did not just suddenly appear in upper academia in the 1980s. Any beginning student of their philosophy or of their ancient theological-religious basis can testify to the accuracy of this statement.
In December 2003 my daughter and I published our Anti-Communitarian Manifesto online at the ACL website. It remains virtually unchallenged. Yet it hasn't been completely ignored. For almost two years our thesis has been visited by over 50,000 scholars, teachers, professors and students from around the world. It's obviously incapable of being easily disputed. Even without any academic credentials to substantiate our efforts or presentation, our website is now used as a reference in several online encyclopedias.
We are seeking advice on how to further our anticommunitarian education. We would like to continue to study the Communitarians from a U.S. Constitutional and U.S. historical viewpoint. We would prefer to apply for admissions to an anticommunitarian studies program. We need one school where can we apply that will take us seriously and provide us with an academic adviser to review our work. What American university will steer us in the proper direction and allow us into the venue for upper academic, scientific argument and debate?
If we could, we'd prefer to return to college and obtain our degrees. But we cannot find one accredited academic institution that includes the opposition argument in its pro-communitarian programs. We're interested in enrolling in a Communitarian Studies Program that includes anticommunitarian courses in January 2006. Do you have anything like this available in your state educational system? We only need to find one school.
Is the debate between the Communitarians and the anti-communitarians not of equal importance to American students as are the ongoing campus debates between pro-Palestinians and pro-Israelis, also otherwise called anti-Israel and anti-Palestine? What happened to our free and open exchange of information and ideas?
Please give this appeal serious consideration. If your research into this issue turns up nothing, then we are the primary U.S. source for anticommunitarian studies. We will consider accepting any offers to help design new supplemental courses for U.S. tax supported institutions. We can assure you the small cost for our contribution is minimal compared to the long-term price America will pay for completly ignoring our position. We're also interested in finding any available grants for anti-communitarian academic researchers. We've been working on our arguments for over six years without any compensation. Our dedication is well established.
Sincerely,
Niki Raapana
