'Fragging prof' fears he'll be 'terminated'

If Daly's complete email was printed, how was he taken out of context?


Guess that is why Daly is the writing teacher and not me.

"Maybe his being there absorbing some of the shrapnel will save some lives."

A college professor doing something useful? And, maybe I'll grow some wings and fly to Starbucks.

Probably depends on what the meaning of the word "was" was... ;-)

***The instructor said he stood by the e-mail message, but it was being taken out of context. His comment about soldiers turning their guns on superiors was meant "in the most metaphoric sense," he explained. ***

Yeah, SURE! Just like the libs saying that Murtha's statement was only political hyperbole and should not be taken seriously. Now this idiot claims his own statement was "metaphoric."

So, I guess that means that whenever a lib makes a strong statement against our President, we all know that they didn't MEAN it. Or, in plain words, THEY ARE LYING, and have admitted it.

Normally I'd come down hard on the right to free speech, but if what this professor is alleged to have emailed Ms. Beach is correct, he was simply INSULTING her personally, and then threatened to silence HER right to free speech. You don't call students FASCISTS and threaten to hound them off campus for having the audacity to believe the war in Iraq is correct and for respecting the service of our soldiers.

This guy sounds like Ward Churchill-lite. Maybe he'll think twice about personally insulting students while he's handing Big Macs through the drive through window at his new job.

Why not drop the good folks at Warren College a polite note expressing your concern?

Board of Trustees:

kdsfarm@prodigy.net
Freeholderdimaio@aol.com
echamberlain@co.warren.nj.us

College President: austin@warren.edu

And, of course, to the miscreant himself: jpdalyca@yahoo.com

"Termination is excessive. I'd settle for an old-fashioned tar-and-feathering of the traitor."

I vote for both.

[reagan_fanatic]

The sad thing is, Pookie, such thinking is widely accepted if not encouraged at colleges and universities around the country.

I'd bet a weeks pay that this traitorous SOB has received numerous words of encouragement and slaps on the back from his fellow instructors.

America's colleges and universities are bastions of extreme leftist liberalism and socialism. They need to be cleaned out.

I sent this email to the college's president:


If freedom will only come when soldiers turn their guns on their superiors, then academic freedom will only come when students turn their guns on their professors.

Perhaps professors should be urged to turn their guns on their college President?

How do you like the sound of that?

I think it is terrible.

He is a fool and he should be fired.
End of email

I vote for both.

Okay. I'm flexible on the issue. However, the tar-and-feathering should occur prior to termination.

[SmoothTalker]

Good. I hope they do get rid of him. He stepped way over the line and behaved very unprofessionaly. He deserves to be fired.

[Preachin']

It looks like the professor is the one getting fragged.

"Tyranny of Liberal Academia" ping list:

[stboz]

I have to ask, "Who the heck hires these idiots and why do the students and parents tolerate it?" And I don't mean just this particular institution.

[sgtbono2002]

He is afraid he WILL be fired, I am afraid he WON'T be.

(1) Daly is backtracking. His comments were intended seriously and not as metaphors. Not only is he a traitor, not only is he a coward, but he is a sniveling little sissyboy without even the courage of his ludicrous and execrable convictions. He's cut and run from his own words in order to try to save his job. Candyass loser.

(2) Daly should be fired for incompetence. His message to the student was ungrammatical and poorly written - demonstrating concretely that he lacks the skills required for his job description: professor of English.

(3) Laying questions of "academic freedom" aside for one moment, he has no right to say what he said as a private citizen. His words aid and abet the enemy in time of war and incite insubordination and treason. He should at least be in prison for what he wrote, if not hung from a gallows as he legally deserves.

(4) There is no such thing as "academic freedom" as a practical matter. Academic institutions in this country, with John Daly's full support, practice outright discrimination against academics who have conservative and patriotic points of view. John Daly and his ilk have systematically eliminated academic freedom over the past four decades.

(5) There is no such thing as complete "academic freedom" anyway. Colleges and universities are institutions which are beholden to the taxpayers and consumers which fund them. It is immoral to demand payment or employment from taxpayers and consumers without providing the manner and level of service which you were contracted to provide. There is no right to be paid for doing a bad job.

THey are going to run out the clock on the thanksgiving holiday. We need to smash them with emails next week.

[Noumenon]

Roger that. Let's see how his 'advice' passes the inversion test:

"Real freedom will come when students in America turn their guns on their Marxist/Communist professors."

Real justice would be burning his home to the ground and driving him and family - if he has one, that is - into the wilderness. There's a poetic quality to that.
