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 America’s 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 [Rebecca’s] won’t dare show their face on a college campus.” Daly’s 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
Daly’s 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 America’s Foundation.
The full unedited text of Daly’s 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
Maybe not - from the end of the college response - "Dr. Austin, college president stated, "I firmly believe every employee and student has first amendment rights, no matter how repugnant I personally find Mr. Daly's statements. "
They may very well say "Mr Daley was simply exercising his first amendment rights".
I don't know if this info has been posted but this guy needs real facts instead of taliking points. It sounds like he listens to Rangel too much.
Who Bears the Burden? Demographic Characteristics of U.S. Military Recruits
those who enlisted between October 1998 and September 1999 and those who enlisted between January 2003 and September 2003. These groups are referred to as the 1999 and 2003 recruit cohorts, .
on average, 1999 recruits were more highly educated than the equivalent general population, more rural and less urban in origin, and of similar income status. We did not find evidence of minority racial exploitation (by race or by race-weighted ZIP code areas).
After September 11, 2001, the educational quality of recruits rose slightly. Comparing 1999 enlisted recruits to 2003 recruits showed an increase in collegiate experience. In 2003, a higher proportion of recruits had college experience and diplomas, and a lower percentage had only a high school diploma— a shift of about 3 percentage points. Furthermore, this figure is not subject to statistical significance tests because it measures the entire recruit population, not just a sample of it. Therefore, we can say definitively that enlistee quality actually increased between 1999 and 2003.
I am afraid that you may be correct.
This is an ENGLISH professor?!?!?! Might want to go back and get some rudimentary grammar training himself.
MM
Keep emailing the school & Board of Trustees about this stupid, sick b@stard
WTH is "Warren Community College"? I live in Fairfax Co.; I've never heard of it.
Words fail ping.
I think the student will be on H&C this evening.
The WWW is my friend.
YAF is in Virginia.
Warren Community College is in New Jersey.
This adorns their homepage:
Press Release
November 17, 2005
Warren County Community College is a "students first" college where learning without limits is always the main goal. We maintain a mission of building a community of learners through accessible, quality learning opportunities designed to meet personal aspirations for all students.
It has been brought to the administration's attention that a part-time instructor, Mr. John Daly, speaking for himself and using his personal email, sent a message to a student representing the Young Americans for Freedom in response to a personal email from her requesting him to announce an upcoming event on the campus. Mr Daly responded to her alone, and expressed his own personal views regarding his beliefs about this group.
The viewpoints of this professor in no way depict the views of Warren County Community College, its administration, or the Board of Trustees. The College does however support the constitution, the first amendment, and the right to free speech.
Additionally, Mr. Daly's message was sent as a one-to-one message, via e-mail, to one person, and not to the college community. Finally, the College is viewing this message as a personnel issue and will be addressing it according to the policies and procedures of the College.
Dr. Austin, college president stated, "I firmly believe every employee and student has first amendment rights, no matter how repugnant I personally find Mr. Daly's statements. Our attorneys have advised us of our obligation to follow state laws, board policies, and college due process in regards to any personal matter. We are now investigating this matter further."
I've got a few words for him, but it may get me banned!
thank you for the link.
Thanks ... check out the disclaimer on their website. I think the college prez is majorly annoyed.
Time to arrest and convict the SOBs.
Ohhhh if the student is on Hannity tonight this is might be worth watching!
See..this is what happens when I work all day- I miss all the important doings :)
For example, government-sponsored killings for political reasons would be considered democide. Capital punishment is not usually considered democide. Democide can also include deaths arising from "reckless and depraved disregard for life"; this brings into account many deaths arising through various neglects and abuses, such as forced mass starvation. Rummel explicitly excludes war deaths in his definition, except for killings outside the laws of war.
The following based on Matthew White's web site lists the significant democides where the death rate can be estimated to exceed 1,000,000. Accurate figures are difficult to establish and many estimates tend to reflect particular biases. In speaking of the Rwanda and Burundi democides White concludes that the toll was "700,000 to 1,600,000 more or less". Several of these amounts, Mao's China, Stalin's USSR and others, include a significant portion of deaths due to famine, sometimes deliberate in order to punish rebellious areas. According to Amartya Sen, a prominent economist, no functioning liberal democracy has ever suffered a large scale famine, although this depends on how strict the definition of democracy is; for example, some argue that the Great Irish Famine of 1846 was a famine in democratic state. Rummel presents statistics showing that liberal democracies have much less democide than authoritarian regimes.
Such instances can be considered megadeaths, since at least one million people died as a result of each action or policy.
1. World War II including the Holocaust (1937-1945) 55,000,000
2. Mao's China (1949-1975) 40,000,000 (mostly famine)
3. Stalin's Soviet Union (1924-1953) 20,000,000
4. World War I (1914-1918) 16,800,000
5. Nationalist China (1928-1937) 9,600,000
6. Russian Civil War (1917-1922) 8,900,000
7. Congo Free State (1886-1908) 8,000,000 (mostly disease)
8. Warlord China (1917-1928) 6,800,000
9. Indochina War (1946-1975) 5,000,000
10. North Korea (1948-present) 4,600,000 (excluding the Korean War)
11. Democratic Republic of the Congo (1998-present) 3,300,000
12. Chinese Civil War (1945-1949) 3,000,000
13. Nigeria (1966-1970) 3,000,000
14. Korean War (1950-1953) 2,900,000
15. Expulsion of Germans after World War II (1945-1947) 2,100,000 (disputed)
16. Suharto's regime in Indonesia (1966-1998) 2,000,000
17. Vietnam War (Second Indochina War) (1960-1975) 1,900,000
18. Pol Pot's Cambodia (1975-1978) 1,800,000
19. Sudan (1983-present) 1,500,000
20. Ethiopia (1962-1992) 1,500,000
21. Bangladesh (1971) 1,500,000
22. Afghanistan (1979-2001) 1,400,000
23. Mozambique (1975-1993) 1,100,000
24. Mexico (1910-1920) 1,000,000
25. Armenia (1915-1923) 1,000,000
26. Rwanda and Burundi (1959-1995) 1,000,000
27. Iran-Iraq War (1980-1988) 1,000,000
The listing of the Expulsion of Germans after World War II has been hotly disputed, since there is a significant problem to establish how many people died during evacuation. The dispute includes the high numbers associated with that historical event, the killed versus died attribute. Moreover, the very high number must have included people died or killed during WW2, when the process started.
The total of these is 196,500,000
"Clearly, Professor Daly feels he is superior to the troops. Bearing that in mind...well...never mind, he's not worth the trouble."
Took the words right off my keyboard. Any seditionist swine professor feels superior to any soldier, even to soldiers who are professors (like, er, someone I know).
These people are a direct threat to national security, provably providing aid and comfort to declared enemies and openly inciting violence against the United States. The First Amendment was never, ever, meant to shield unambiguous treason.
Maybe it is worth it.
