How is that any worse than Ward Churchill? I detect a double standard. Is there academic immunity or not?

[speed_addiction]

He should have spoken out against America and George Bush. He would have been granted tenure.

"Socialist" must be Latin for anti-semite. National Socialists, the Code Pink Socialists, the ANSWER Socialsts, the UFPJ Socialists and NION (RCP) Socialists, all blame and hate "The JEWS".

Maybe "Socialism" is Latin for pure evil hater?

[LenS]

I'm glad that they fired his Nazi arse. Now if we can just get the colleges to fire a few hundred thousand Marxists and post-modernists and we might see some real academic freedom and standards emerge again on campuses.

[Noachian]

If this professor was a member of the Socialist Workers Party, or an anarchist, would he still be dismissed?

[A Jovial Cad]

nutty professor *ping

[bahblahbah]

I personally have to blame the history channel. I swear that channel has a Hitler fetish.

[nathanbedford]

Fascinating.

From the evidence the Phd, was fired not for what he did on the job but for what he thought or said off the job. Does anyone believe that he would have been fired for being a closet Marxist?

Would he be allowed to "hate" Muslim terrorists? Or would that too be unacceptable bigotry? How about hating the Tutsi of Rwanda, would that be OK? Could he have admired the Turks who committed a holocaust against the Armenians which our Senate failed to acknowledge for fear that recognition would denigrate the "real" one?

My point is not to defend Nazis but to identify the danger to us all when an academic institution, swimming in tax payer money, can control thought, restrict speech, and interfere with free association and do so with ringing applause. PC is a very unreliable prop for our liberties.

Oops - only SOME hate speech is allowed (Churchill), not just ANY ol' hate speech...

Guess this guy didn't get the memo

[liberallarry]

The guy was apparantly an excellent professor quite capable of separating his private views from required course material and of behaving decently towards all. What more can you ask?

At a university all views are to be explored (unless they're obviously nuts). Perhaps Pluss's were too incendiary and disturbing for freshmen and sophomores...but upperclassmen and graduate students should certainly be exposed to such things.

[briant]

...La Raza would have made him a hero.

""He was my favorite professor," said one student. "I can't believe it is the same man.""

Liberal puke.

If instead of Jews, he said Christians.. and instead of blacks he said whites.. this man would be in line for a promotion, and a tenured life of luxury.

[JimRed]

Good riddance! Now if they would only do the same with the hate whitey black studies professors, the hate men womyn's studies professors and the hate Bush and capitalism professors of all subjects, it'll be a good start!

Of course, there wouldn't be many left!

[hosepipe]

This guy is a white Cornel West (Harvard).. the difference->> ZERO..

[Torie]

The world is prejudiced against Nazis. Oh the horror.

[Rastus]

From Jay Nordlinger's latest Impromptus:

The Nazis are always being thrown in conservatives' faces, of course. That's why an acquaintance of mine — a conservative writer — always insists on referring to the Nazis by their full name, the National Socialists. Why not let socialists, nationalizers, collectivists, atheists, race obsessives — why not let others answer for the Nazis, and endure the cracks?

Glad to see the author of this article happens to follow this guideline, doubtless by accident rather than device.

Tenure of Avowed Marxist Controversy jolts College***…"In a nutshell, it means I have a fundamental disagreement with capitalism," he said. "I think that capitalism is a system based on exploitation and oppression and domination and racism and war and lots of other things.

"So I'm totally opposed to capitalism, and I think that the majority of the people of this country ought to get together and transform the system," he said. "I think we need to replace capitalism with some kind of democratic socialism." …***

Campus Marxists are a funny bunch--until they end up running your country ***Both of my grandfathers were exterminated by Stalinist terror. My father and mother both barely escaped the Gulag. But here I am, with PhD students, being treated to a one-hour discussion about "homophobia" on campus. My colleagues are agonizing about how "Homophobia-Free Zone" pink stickers must be put on every door in the university. "But what if a professor or a teaching assistant refuses to have one put on his door?" one of them asks indignantly. After a few seconds of silence, another answers, "Well, then a committee might just have to be set up where these people will be taken to account." Serious head-nods follow. ***

Professors take on role as high priests of activism *** As they gathered downtown earlier this week to protest the war in Iraq, a motley group of students and activists busily readied the tricks of their trade. A couple of men gingerly laid on the sidewalk two cardboard "caskets" topped with plastic flowers and the bloodied heads and body parts of baby dolls. A man wearing a white Cheshire cat mask hung a severed fake head of Vice President Dick Cheney, with a "666" scribbled on its forehead and plastic sword speared into the top. A young woman expertly dabbed white and black makeup on a young man's face to evoke an image of a ghoulish skeleton.

But the leader of the pack simply donned his professor's gown.***

The only difference between a left-wing fascist and a right-wing fascist is that the latter usually has a better haircut.

Now that this "Professor" has been outed, he'll probably be even more popular on the college lecture circuit.
