Professor Thomas Klocek, the De Paul teacher who was fired after debating Mideast policy with some Muslim students on campus, will be the guest today on "Joseph Farah's WorldNetDaily RadioActive," the nationally syndicated talk program.
As Farah explains in a recent column, nine days after the spirited argument, which lasted between 15 and 20 minutes, Klocek received an "emergency suspension" and was unceremoniously kicked off the campus.
He was offered his job back if he agreed to monitored teaching and apologized to the students, but he refused. A lawsuit may be in the offing.
Besides his special guests, Farah will feature daily updates all this week by the Minuteman Project's Grey Deacon from Tombstone, Ariz.
You can hear "Joseph Farah's WorldNetDaily RadioActive," the daily, nationally syndicated radio show featuring WND's founder on radio stations from coast to coast and streamed on the Internet.
Farah's new network,Golden Broadcasters, has been formed with the live, three-hour, drive-time program as the flagship.
The new Dallas-based company will be a full-service network providing programming, radio production, Internet streaming, satellite delivery and sales and affiliate relations. Farah continues broadcasting from the nation's capital, Washington, D.C., as he has for the past two years.
The show airs Monday through Friday from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. Eastern with a refeed from 1 a.m. to 4 a.m. on ABC Starguide, Transponder 23, Satellite AMC-8.
The call-in number for the show is 1-877-232-4855. Golden Broadcasters can be reached at 972-871-8802.
In addition to his daily talk-radio program, Farah serves as editor and chief executive officer of WorldNetDaily, one of the largest news agencies in the world founded specifically for the Internet. He also writes a daily column for WorldNetDaily and a weekly column for Creators Syndicate.
Farah is also founder of WND Books, a three-year-old book-publishing enterprise that has produced a remarkable string of best-selling current affairs titles, including Michael Savage's "The Savage Nation" and "The Enemy Within," Jayna Davis' "The Third Terrorist" and Wayne LaPierre's "Guns, Freedom and Terrorism."
Farah also publishes the highly acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine and the weekly intelligence online newsletter "Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin."
Ping! The show is today!!
BUMP!
The article doesn't say that he has tenure. Does he? Yes, tenure is supposed to protect against this. But there's lots of non-tenured and adjuncts out there.
Professor Klocek debates Muslims, gets criticized and then canned.
Meanwhile, Professor Ward Churchill equates those in the World Trade Center with Nazis (and thus Muslims as heros) and he continues to enjoy employment.
Gee. What a wonderful wacky world the leftists have created in academia.
Reasons to fire someone now?
Specially at an institution where the free exchange of ideas must be firmly defended, this is unacceptable.
Closer to the problem, if the attackers are foreigners in every sense of the word, and the professor a citizen, it would blow my mind.
I see a permanent fix to this madness, eventually, and it will be be violent, brief and permanent. Coddling enemies and worshipping Political Correctness is a terminal societal disease. No existing world state has ever survived that.
This is the reason I believe in tenure, even with all its problems. I think that schools should be able to get rid out tenured faculty for cause without so much problem, but teachers' beliefs should be protected. They should NOT however, force them on students. If we eliminate tenure, IMHO, we will eliminate the few conservative teachers left.
Man, I would have liked to have been sitting in on that class.
I hope he can sue the crap out of them.

Free speech is alive and well on American college campuses these days... For commies, America-haters, islamofacists, socialists and liberals.

BTW, Ward Churchill is making $95k a year.
This sounds like an injustice. The Professor should get FIRE involved.
FIRE is involved. Hoping though, the MSM finally gets involved.
How can he make that much? I heard before the controversy all he did was go around lecturing instead of teaching his classes? I want a job like that when I finally get my doctorate!!
In the mid-1970s, I was at Arizona State U. They wanted to bring in a "name" woman, so they hired Joan Hoff Wilson, a supposed big-name Nixon scholar. They paid her---MID-1970s!!---$65,000 a year. That's equivalent to $150-175,000 per year today, considering the differences in bennies. She taught . . . one seminar in two years. (That is, she had about 10 students in one class over a two-year period).
That's not the half of it: I was in this seminar, and she brought in a tape recording . . . of HERSELF LECTURING and played it while she sat there in person. It was the most outrageous thing I'd ever seen, and the students all agreed after class if she did it again, we were going to bring our own tape recorders, hit "play/record," then leave.
