When are these lying Academic frauds going to pay the piper?

When folks bankrolling the schools start requiring accountability. Hit them where it hurts. Organize boycotts of their sports events like football and basketball. Athletic boosters are the most influential people around a university and when they become unhappy, university presidents get nervous, especially when negative publicity begins to harm recruiting.

A little more than a half a century ago school kids huddled under their desks with their arms over their heads and their eyes firmly shut against the blinding flash which might come from an atomic attack launched by Comrade Stalin. The kids did this on the very campus which now gives a bully pulpit to this marxist.

In those days the campus consisted of a couple old spanish style buildings which had been used as a training facility for teachers known then as a "normal" school. After the war, students had quonset huts as temporary classrooms. They would certainly have provided scant protection against atomic attack launched by Stalin. Now the campus claims university status and oceans of money, state and federal, have washed over it. The physical facility now resembles a city rather than a California mission it resembled in the fifties and the student census now reaches into God knows how many thousands or tens of thousands of students.

It has become a mammoth bureaucracy which cannot control itself and, out of control, provides a happy hunting ground for professors like the one the article describes. In the days when everyone knew at least by reputation the whole of the faculty, eccentricity could be accommodated but never disloyalty. We hear the left decry the chilling effects of McCarthyism, but, as one who lived through this supposedly benighted era, I can only say we could use a large dose of its orthodoxy.

At least we would not have to suffer fools like Grover Furr and risk young minds to his care. Far better for his students to take cover under their desks with their arms protecting their faces and their eyes tightly shut against the deadly doctrine of this man. Better to return to a "normal" school.

flying Elvis, you're thinking too Texan, outside of men's wrestling, swim dive team, and womens' softball, sports are a minor concern here.

golden, campi is not a word in english.

Anger at this little man is not worth the time. He only poses one threat, this man is a in a position to shape the views of many first generation immigrants. He's particularly well liked by Muslim students, mostly because they have the prerequisite status of victimhood before entering his classroom.

The man will retire, and in 15 years no one will remember him, his writings, his rambling self aggrandizing lectures, nor his face. He knows this, and it eats him up every day.

What kills me is the cost, Out of state: $1082.78 In state $716.15, for his undergrad courses he teaches. Outside of a drug binge, this money could be better spent in any manner.
