If Kentucky is dumb enough to hire this person & pay her to ‘teach law’, then Kentucky gets permanently crossed off my list of possible places to move to in the future.

We agree.
Do we have some experts in the history of the Second Amendment here on Free Republic who can help make a credible case on her blog for the traditional view of the Second Amendment? I'm certainly pro-Second-Amendment, but it's not my area of historical expertise.
I participate on the blogs of several academics who are politically left-of-center, some more actively than others. (These are generally Calvinist blogs of professors and doctoral students that would be of no interest to most Freepers, unless you care about the current fight in Reformed church circles about the Two Kingdoms movement arguing that Christians should not use the Bible in politics or sometimes discouraging political activity as being somehow inappropriate for Christians.) Sometimes people on left-of-center websites just like having a token conservative to give them debating practice in what would otherwise be a liberal echo chamber. On occasion, however, I've seen minds changed — not necessarily the blog owner but sometimes some of the participants.
Not all liberals are a lost cause in academia. As we know, some of the most effective conservative thinkers today are former liberals who realized what was wrong with what they'd been taught.
I'm well aware that some leftists don't care about the truth and are propagandists rather than educators. However, a rational and informed conservative who has facts on his side may be able to present arguments which liberals who have spent their whole life in liberal circles may never have seen before. At the absolute minimum, a well-thought-out debate on her blog could expose lots of people to a new way of thinking.
more evidence that all state run law schools should be shut down.
If fools like this can be law professors then we have too many law schools.
