Liberals have often left me teetering on the brink of insanity after hearing them speak, but after watching the repeat of Hannity and Colmes I am beyond words (well I am really not because I am writing this now). They had this professor on from the University of Texas named Robert Jansen who said he hopes our country loses the Iraq War. Now, I don't know if simply rooting for your country to lose (or in other words rooting for the enemy and death of our brave soldiers) in a war is criminal (maybe some law freepers can help me on that one), but as a teacher, this guy left me with no doubt that he should not be aloud to be in a classroom indoctrinating young people to his sick views. In fact if he preaches what he was saying on the show in his class, I am postive what he is doing is some form of treason (no way, liberal and treason in the same sentece?!?!). I am going to email The University of Texas and everyone on here should do so too and demand that they fire him for his treachorous acts (hopefully, they will at least watch him and ensure he does not preach his evil to his students or maybe we can just get all students there to drop his class, at least the ones who don't hate America). The various contact info is:

Lay it to them hard my fellow freepers!!!!!!!!1
This is FR.
Want your grammar and grammar checked, your facts checked, your references verified, your math checked, your latin checked?
Just post on FR.
Sort of like that old adage, if you want to know everything about your family tree, run for office.
"...but he's tenured so they can't just get rid of him."
Well, not "legally" maybe. (Was that my "outloud" voice?)
I saw a young lady on campus wearing a "Long Live Falluja" T-shirt.
Do you have a source/reference for this?
I'm interested in following up on it, for my own purposes.
Got nothing to do with you, don't get offended, but if you can refer me to something or have a source, I'd appreciate it.
Free speech does not entitle anyone to indoctrinate their opinions on those that wish to learn truth. Free speech has nothing to do with this guy teaching. Everyone has an opinion. There is a great difference between "opinion" and "fact" most of the time on the Left.
Hell, my "opinion" is to make an oil slick out of much of the Middle East, but I wouldn't "teach" it to anyone!

"And its' a hugh misteak to loose you're sinse of humour about these things. Seriesly."
rats. now you made me hungry.
Yep, he sure is.
Well, here's an interesting thought from the professor:
" So I try to bring in politics in a way that I don't try and hide it. I don't try to pretend to be neutral. What I try to do is highlight the assumptions of my politics. So for instance, in this critical thinking class, [I say] 'Here's the assumptions on which I make my judgments. Now let's examine the assumptions. You might disagree with them. Why? What evidence would you bring into this?' It's kind of a modeling of engaged political discourse, which I think needs to happen. But you know, professors often get very afraid that they'll be criticized for being political. To my mind, that's what we're there for, is to engage."
Another peace-loving, anti-war zealot. Can't figure it out...they say they are against "killing," but it's ok for despots and dictators to kill people in the name of god-knows what...but not ok for US soldiers to defend the defenseless. Yipes.
From the mouth of the professor, referring to the United States & its military:
"the American empire and it’s brutal militaristic imposition on the world"
;)
Like wow, kool, pass the bong!
Hmmm, what is he surrounded by?
Ah, yes! And how many students will mimick his politics in order to get on his good side and pass his course? Lets face it, their are alot of sheep in this world, and many will merely "go-along" in order to survive. Not everyone, especially students, that have not found their "way" in life as yet will contradict authority figures because of fear of failure.
Professors and teachers are in a unique situation where they have the ability to mold minds. I prefer their personal opinions not get in the way of developing young minds who otherwise would develope themselves.
I hear you.
But you're talking as if teachers don't always give their opinions. Of course they do.
