This is a terrific article.

He'll never get tenure!

[Bahbah]

Good grief, how does this guy survive in that place?

[dsmatuska]

Tenure? He may not make it to his car.

True!LOL

The libs have controlled our universities for so many years, they are just being proactive in trying to weed out someone with a fair point of view.

Having two children who had to put up with many, many ultra liberal professors, I would like to send this man a note of support. I hope others do as well.

You know until recently I didn't know how liberal UNCW was. We never hear about it, kind of always thought it was one of those down east taking up space schools like ECU or Pembroke State

[Constitution Day]

Excellent! Thanks for the ping, Az.

[Constitution Day]

down east taking up space schools

ROFL!

I'd heard there were a lot of "insurgents" messing the place up.

You know what'd happen if you address a "good 'ol boy" of the workplace in the manner these socialists reportedly have - or what'd happen if they address a "good 'ol boy" that way outside the confines of their lib haven.

Thanks for the ping CD.

I'd never even heard of Mike Adams 6 weeks ago but now he's rapidly becoming one of my favorite writers and next to Horowitz about the best I've seen of pointing out and ridiculing the rampant hypocrisy on college campuses.

I still like Steyn best as a writer but this guy is a close second.

Good find! Thanks!

Naturally, when I found out that I made a co-worker feel “uncomfortable,” I wanted to know what I had said or done to produce such an unthinkable result. That was when I learned that the “discomfort” occurred because I had been discussing some of my weekly columns here in the workplace (i.e., at the public university). The penalty for that transgression was simple: a ban on discussing my columns in the office in front of those who might be offended by my opinions. This was accompanied by the shocking revelation that “not everyone sees things the way you do, Mike.”

Is it just my imagination, or is this guy actually writing about someone inside his office, ie, he is sharing an office with someone, and that someone (as luck would have it, this being a university where there is such a diversity of opinion) is actually a liberal?

Note: all UNC-Wilmington faculty, staff, students, and administrators who were offended by this column must keep their remarks to themselves while in the workplace. Discussion of my columns is strictly forbidden. If anyone cares to discuss the incidents mentioned in this article, just meet me for a latte at Barnes and Noble. I’ll buy the first round, unless that makes someone feel uncomfortable.

I get the impression from this passage and others like it in the article that this guy is in actuality very upset and at the same time very apprehensive that he is going to get the "bum's rush" from his department imminently.

In such situations, or so I have heard, humor is often the last weapon in the quiver... :-(

It's interesting the excuses that liberal whip out when the subject of bias is raised. If it's liberal bias, then bias becomes an "unavoidable" and omnipresent; however, if it is conservative bias, then it becomes "racism," "hate speech," or anointed with some other pejorative denunciation.

I would lay down good money that he is not going to be too long in the world of academia.

[TaxRelief]

Keep your antennae pointed at UNC Wilmington. We need some activism ideas to help Mike Adams out.

Let MYkdsmom, Constitution Day or Taxrelief know if you want on or off the NCPing list, or if you think you've been accidentally dropped, or ....
