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
The poor gent should be placed in a mental health facility immediately! He has obviously lost all touch with reality.
I think its about time for those in power to start using the terms treason and sedition. Thats what this is and he should be put on trial.
Exactly, let's get this jerk fired.
Warren Community College President William Austin
austin@warren.edu
LOL!!! Good catch Legs. He must have been so worked up into a full idiocy-spewing lather that he forgot his own trade.
A Community College.....
An English professor in a community college....
What an irrelevant tool.
.....is it a threat if you mean it?
More open minded acceptance and tolerance from our friends on the left.
Think this guy (who wants soldiers to shoot their supierors) is a Peace Activist too?
I call that mighty big talk for a guy who couldn't do any better than a junior-college professorship.
Arrest the basturd...
The "professor's" e-mail is rambling and incoherent. He probably grades his students' essays based on how much they parrot his leftist idiology, rather than their ability to write a reasoned argument. Pity.
a cage full of crocodiles sounds better to me!
Clearly 'professor' John Daly failed history but excelled in revisionist fiction.
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 students—particularly 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 view—that is they understand language in the same way you might organize a sock draw—by 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.
People like this can't be shrugged off. Shrugging off things like this is how we lose.
Don't demean the entire, quite noble, field because of this one idiot.
Real freedom will come when returning Heros from the Iraq war visit Daly's home and enlighten him as to the error of his ways.
I already emailed the esteemed "professor" and am getting ready to email the president. He needs to be "taught a lesson" himself!
