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
Think about it.
...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.
Great idea, Rebecca!!
John Daly's HATE for President Bush EXCEEDS his care and concern for the American Solider, Americans and America.
didnt this guy host real tv for the first 4 seasons it was on the air ? my how the mighty have fallen :-)
Someone should check out his theories on English literature, while he is under surveilance. I seriously doubt that his course materials are going to be very representative of what most of us would consider to be the Classics.
So the English language is really like a sock drawer? Where were these teachers when I was in school? ;)
Isn't Warren Community College in New Jersey?
I noted that also. When I went to college, all professors, assistant professors, and associate professors had doctorate degrees. Adjunct professors, instructors, and teaching assistants held masters degrees. There were exceptions, but they tended to be in areas where the highest degree awarded was a masters degree such as an MA in Architecture and Design.
I also noted that his interest is in "socio-linguistic theory," which means that Noam Chomski is his God. Pathetic.
I also spoke with a spokesperson for YAF. He personally knows Rebecca. I am trying to set it up so that she will join us tomorrow on a live FreeRepublic thread to answer questions.
I am ashamed to say this, but this is our County College! Here in VERY Conservative Warren County, New Jersey, we know better. After reading this I am furious! Tomorrow morning I am going to call the President of the College, as well as our Freeholders!
He's a Linguist so I doubt he teaches literature.
What? Ummm...maybe just not attending their classes would be a little more practical.
Indeed. I'm an English teacher, and that's far from the only mistake I see in that e-mail...
Yes it is...obviously. I read over Herndon, VA and missed the NJ. Sorreeeee.
Liberals haven't met a tyrant they didn't like, from Pol Pot, to Lenin and Stalin, to even Hitler.
Honestly - that is what this is. Why oh why won't someone start kicking these looney's asses?
(If he's teaching at a CC, he may not have a PhD -- or even a Master's. Basically, you have to be semi-literate.)
Conservatives need to send a message to liberal academia that this crap won't happen anymore without repercussions. Time to fight back.
