I guess they will just let any total, blabbering idiot be a college "professor" today.
Referring to the threat of being fired, Daly said his situation reflects a trend for non-tenured instructors.
"As more and more professors are teaching part time, this is a direct attack on our academic freedom," he said.
Daly's e-mail also claimed that "capitalism has killed many more" people than communism and that "poor and working class people" are recruited to "fight and die for EXXON and other corporations."
BARF!
Gee. I may need another hanky.
Using your position as a faculty member and using university resources to promote your own political views is not freedom of speech.
We can't send you to jail for it. But we can end your employment, just like my company could end my employment for promoting my views in such a public and controverisal manner.
Translation: lets sit on this till the heat gets turned up and we have to suspend him with pay

Terminated....like killed? Maybe by his students, that turn on him, like he suggested of the US Troops?
"... terminated ..." Such a deliciously broad word in this case ...
People pay huge amounts in tuition in order for their children to be given a college education. The obvious trash that is now taught in college along with the professors that are trash is a crime in itself.
Termination is excessive. I'd settle for an old-fashioned tar-and-feathering of the traitor.
"Real academic freedom will come when students in college turn their guns on their professors."
Adjunct English instructor John Daly of Warren County Community College needs to be sentenced to live in an islamic country for about 5 years. After those five years of being an infidel and getting treated as such, he may have more respect for the American military
I heard the young lady who received the email on Sean Hannity's radio show yesterday. She made a terrific point. The professor is an employee of the state and her right to free speech was being threatened by him and those like him, not the other way around.
He said if he had know she was a freshman he would have used a different tone, but the content would have been the same.
How is this an apology? I can you tone down the words "rise up and shoot your officers?"
Daly just found out theat even though we have freedom of speech there are responsibilities and consequences when we use it.
Like they say in the Mexican Marines--el tougho sh!to!!!
Boo hoo widdow baby! Sombody infwinging on you widdow academic fweedums? Now you know how it feels, ahole. About time someone infringed on the academic freedom of liars, instead of normal people with normal values.
His comment about soldiers turning their guns on superiors was meant "in the most metaphoric sense," he explained.
From Wikipedia...."In language, a metaphor is a rhetorical trope defined as a direct comparison between two seemingly unrelated subjects. In a metaphor, a first object is described as being a second object. Through this description it is inferred that the first object has some of the qualities of the second. In this way, the first object can be economically described because implicit and explicit attributes from the second object can be used to fill in the description of the first. This is exploited in literature and especially in poetry, where with few words, emotions and associations from one context can powerfully be associated with another, different subject. "
Where's the "metaphor" in "Real freedom will come when soldiers in Iraq turn their guns on their superiors." Now we know he's a liar too. Hope he gets fired.
Daly sounds like the typical college English professor. No one takes those people seriously, do they?
Yeah, it's always a "metaphor" when they get caught calling for someone's death. Anything less and it's just "understandable frustration", as one of my liberal friends told me when I expressed some annoyance at a professor calling a group of women "Republic*nts". "I'm sure he was just frustrated..."
(Also, shouldn't an English professor realize that there aren't degrees of metaphorical speech? Either it's a metaphor or it's not.)
Yes, only LEFT WING views are allowed to be freely spoken on campus. Students should not be allowed to know there is a different view.
