Rats scurrying at the light of day.
IIRC, in 1532 one Jean of Cahors [?], a professor of Toulouse University, was exposed as a heretic by his students and then given the customary thermal treatment. In comparison with that, UCLA campaign cannot be called "reprehensible" by any stretch of imagination.
The left always finds it reprehensible when they are exposed. It violates some vague but undefined right. One of those penumbras.
Can somebody inform the professors at UCSD that they are next?
Jones' site describes his campaign as "dedicated to exposing UCLA's most radical professors" and his list of the university's "worst of the worst" singles out only professors he says hold left-wing views.
Just because it feels good, doesn't make it right. On the other hand, pumping impressionable youth full of bile in class is worse, but two wrongs don't make a right.
I would think profs would be flattered to have their words made public. It's no secret; it's public, what they say.
I teach, and I haved great fun making fun of political correctness, questioning global warming with opposing facts and viewpoints, and slammo-dunking the idiocy of communism every chance I get. I would like nothing better than to have someone secretly taping me, so the words could be played to a larger audience (and I would be given the chance to defend them -- in the press, or otherwise).
