Wells College Prof: Republicans Should be Forcibly Lobotomized (Left-wing Campus Loony Alert)

Wells College Republicans

[headsonpikes]

"I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy."

Somebody had to post it. ;^)

[governsleastgovernsbest]

I'll drink to that.

[EdReform]

"Someone should send this to hannity..."

Done

[CougarGA7]

When have they ever thought?

[GeronL]

not a surprise

[governsleastgovernsbest]

If anyone chooses to email the Wells president, I would respectfully encourage them to be civil.

The Wells Republicans have made progress on campus by remaining polite, though energetic, and would not want to be giving the administration or others grounds to criticize them in the same way that this professor has opened himself up to criticism.

Let me get this straight...the same guys who's recommending labotomies was involved in something called Project Kaleidoscope???

"Professors BAILEY, TOM VAWTER, AND NIAMH O’LEARY, along with DEAN HALL, participated in the Project Kaleidoscope workshop on "Environmental Studies: Issues for New and Expanding Programs," at Brown University, June 18-20 [2000]."

Isn't it incredible, in a way, that there really is nothing all that surprising about what this liberal prof dared to say?

Can you imagine what would happen to a conservative prof who sent a similar email to everyone on the campus of an all-women's college calling for the same treatment to be given to feminists, or pro-choicers?

[Starboard]

Good work. Thanks.

[governsleastgovernsbest]

Can you enlighten us on Project Kaleidoscope?

I think it is the same person, since he the Wells guy is a prof of biology and environmental studies.

[GeronL]

Your exactly right. I really do not even need to respond, just letting you know I read the story. I agree with your estimation.

I heard it like this:

"I'd prefer a bottle in front of me to a prefrontal lobotomy."

(steely)

I see. A quick Google search yields this link describing Project Kaleidoscope, a national alliance promoting undergrad study of math and science: http://www.pkal.org/

Prof. Vawter is sure doing a great job of promotion, calling half his students stupid, and threatening them with lobotomies. Sure would make me want to enroll in his class.

....Lobotomized = Democrats.......

LOL!! That was my first thought too!

[BubbaBasher]

It appears the e-mail naming conventions are first initial and full last name. That would make the idiots e-mail address: tvawter@wells.edu.

[staytrue]

Dems outnumber Republicans on the social sciences/humanities faculties by a ratio of 92%/8%.

Republicans are smart, very smart, not to study this crap.

[governsleastgovernsbest]

Have at the guy, but again I would strongly encourage FReepers to be civil. Let's not make the same mistake he did. He would seize on the first over-the-top email he receives to say to the press "see, the other side does exactly the same thing." Please everyone, remain polite.

[RJL]

Of course they want Republicans lobotomized, then they would be Democrats!

LOL, well said.
