Nicaraguan bows out of teaching post

A historian and former Sandinista leader who helped overthrow Nicaraguan dictator Anastasio Somoza is no longer scheduled to teach classes at Harvard Divinity School this spring after she said she was denied a visa because of her role in alleged "terrorist activity."

Since 1998, Tellez has been president of the Sandinista Renewal Movement, a political party allied with the Sandinistas. At Harvard Divinity School, Tellez was scheduled to teach a class on Nicaragua and the Sandinista aftermath, as well as a seminar on Caribbean identity, race, and ethnicity.

What is the Divinity School doing hiring a commie to teach? And why would a divinity school offer these classes?

I hear she may look for a job in Colorado.

It's a Masshole thing. Socialist and Communists have free reign.

Nicaragua is a real hot-button for liberals. How many times do we have to hear about the murder of nuns and what a good guy Ortega was. For me, I look at the people who supported Ortega... Harkin and Kerry. As I said to a very good friend of mine... When have these guys ever been on the right side of an issue?

The Sandinistas were rejected by popular vote. Does she teach that?

The Sandinistas made Somoza look like a cuddly teddy bear especially with the Sandinista mistreatment of the Misito Indians.

I'm sure she also includes some of World Boxing Champion Alexis Arguello's anti-Sandinista speeches. He is a real Nicaraguan and thus he is anti-Sandinista.
