HERNDON, VA Warren Community College English professor, John Daly, said that Real freedom will come when soldiers in Iraq turn their guns on their superiors. Rebecca Beach, a freshman at Warren Community College in Washington, New Jersey, received this unexpected reply to a recent email she sent the faculty at her school announcing the appearance of decorated Iraq war hero, Lt. Col. Scott Rutter, on Thursday, November 17 to discuss Americas accomplishments in Iraq.
In the email, Daly told Rebecca that he will ask students in his English and writing classes to boycott the event and also vowed to expose [her] right-wing, anti-people politics until groups like [Rebeccas] wont dare show their face on a college campus. Dalys mean spirited and hateful comments were directed at Rebecca for organizing Lt. Col. Scott Rutter and for hanging up fliers contrasting the number of people killed under communism to those liberated under Ronald Reagan.
Since Professor John Daly has created a hostile learning environment for Rebecca, she is demanding that Warren Community College President William Austin institute seminars on free speech and sensitivity to teach intolerant leftists, such as Daly, to be respectful of differing opinion
Dalys insane email to Rebecca also claimed that CAPTIALISM has killed many more people than communism [emphasis his] and that the poor and working class people are recruited to fight and die for EXXON and other corporations.
John Daly was hired to teach English, not to verbally attack students and lead leftist protests, said Jason Mattera, spokesman for Young Americas Foundation.
The full unedited text of Dalys email follows.
November 13, 2005
Dear Rebecca:
I am asking my students to boycott your event. I am also going to ask others to boycott it. Your literature and signs in the entrance lobby look like fascist propaganda and is extremely offensive. Your main poster "Communism killed 100,000,000" is not only untrue, but ignores the fact that CAPITALISM has killed many more and the evidence for that can be seen in the daily news papers. The U.S. government can fly to dominate the people of Iraq in 12 hours, yet it took them five days to assist the people devastated by huricane Katrina. Racism and profits were key to their priorities. Exxon, by the way, made $9 Billion in profits this last quarter--their highest proft margin ever. Thanks to the students of WCCC and other poor and working class people who are recruited to fight and die for EXXON and other corporations who earning megaprofits from their imperialist plunders. If you want to count the number of deaths based on political systems, you can begin with the more than a million children who have died in Iraq from U.S.-imposed sanctions and war. Or the million African American people who died from lack of access to healthcare in the US over the last 10 years.
I will continue to expose your right-wing, anti-people politics until groups like your won't dare show their face on a college campus. Real freedom will come when soldiers in Iraq turn their guns on their superiors and fight for just causes and for people's needs--such freedom fighters can be counted throughout American history and they certainly will be counted again.
Prof. John Daly
No. There is absolutely no need for violence, or violent threats here. The nutbar has already trashed his career.
LOL!
Agreed, but first he should gain enough noteriety to insure that he never works again in the field.

He's an adjunct professor at a community college. lol!
(Part time remedial writing instructor)
That's about as low in the pecking order as you can be in academia.
Tenure at a community college? I doubt it. He's cooked.
I hope your email was more professional than your post. Calling for violence, profantity, et al are just playing into this guy's hands.
Don't bet on it. I wouldn't be surprised to see him end up as the Joseph Goebbels Chair of English at UC Berkeley or the Josef Stalin Chair of English at UC Santa Cruz!
Sent an email to County Superintendent William King wking@doe.state.nj.us and it didn't bounce back.
cc: County Educational Specialist Mary Jane Tanner mtanner@doe.state.nj.us and it went through too.
He IS worth the trouble.
Bring his a$$ down. Now.
As I recall, that's the way Pol Pot handled it.

Biographical Profile
B.A., Kean University
M.A., California State University at Northridge (magna cum laude)
Professor Daly received his MA in Linguistics from California State University , Northridge in 2000. John enjoys teaching writing most of all, aside from his interests in socio-linguistic theory. His 12 years experience working in public health research adds another dimension to his interests. His research background translates into years of hands-on experience in writing research documents and papers in the professional world. Two video-workbook collections that he produced and wrote have won awards and are currently used by the Canadian Department of Health. Often linguists do not use their skills to teach grammar and writing, but Professor Daly finds that linguists have a special view on language that may help studentsparticularly students who have had trouble in these areas in the past. English courses generally are taught from a rule-based perspective. Students become overwhelmed with these rules and often find the exceptions make them impossible to manage. Linguistics view language from a descriptive point of viewthat is they understand language in the same way you might organize a sock drawby dumping the contents on the ground and seeing what goes together until finally ending up with a super-efficient drawer (or deeper understand of grammar and writing). Students often respond to this approach.
I am sure glad my tax money is going to support this character. His self-description is totally incoherent. My advice to Mr. Daly -- put a sock in it!
His email address, if you please!
If you're correct, then things are much worse than I have ever imagined. I don't see much of a future for this guy.

The English Department in any college today doesn't teach English. It is a reeducation camp in left-wing politics. Welcome to Oceania College.
I know people who actually believe that communism never got a chance to work because it wasn't "real communism".
