Lynch calls teacher's theories crazy as UNH stands behind 9/11 prof [who says US organized attack]

The Professor doesn't know the difference between "keeping an open mind" and "acting like he's got a hole in the head".

[Pitmaster]

He's not "crazy" - he's just a liberal, Marxist demoncrat.

[Anti-Bubba182]

Professors like that abuse tenure! Their defenders will shout
piously about academic freedom, but I believe these professors
are knowingly and maliciously spreading a false theory with the purpose of undermining the United States.

[ClearCase_guy]

he may present controversial material so long as he does it responsibly.

They need to find a professor to give classroom lectures on why slavery should be re-instituted in this country. Classroom exercise (whites only): calculate how many slaves you could own if the country "did the right thing".

Or would this material be too controversial?

[shankbear]

What if a professor was allowed to teach math in the same manner. As long as it stimulated intellectual discussion, 2+2 could be 6. To hell with the facts. Academia is run rampant with the liberal, untouchable a-hats like this guy.

"The U.S. should stop support of Israel until it returns its 10,000 kidnapped victims, withdraws from settlements, and pays reparations," Woodward wrote in a piece published July 28.

Hmmmmm........wonder who's side he's on? (/sarc)

[AppyPappy]

Someone should sneak a copy of "The Bell Curve" onto his bookshelf. Then we will see how quickly the adminsitration changes their mind on freedom of education.

Andy Lietz, chairman of the system's Board of Trustees, said he asked university administrators to review Woodward's comments in the classroom. He maintained, however, that Woodward may belong to any organization he chooses, and that he may present controversial material so long as he does it responsibly.

"I think he's absolutely wrong, and I'm disappointed that he would have those positions," Lietz said. "But he's an individual, and he has a right to have positions, as you and I have a right to have positions."

Oh BS...if this professor was a member of the Nazi Party and claimed there was no holocaust, or if he were a member of the KKK and espoused rascist doctrine, he would be gone in an instant...as well he should be. There is certain "controversial material" that can never be presented responsibly.

The abject double standard for the left wackos is really starting to iritate me...and it apparently is irritating the governor there too.

In addition to being a stark raving mad lunatic liberal, it also appears he's an anti-Semite.

[RoadTest]

The fact that Jamie Gorelick stonewalled the intelligence about bin Laden's cell prior to 9/11 and then sat on the board of inquiry investigating this imbroglio
doesn't do anything to dispel the suspicion that the government was in on the attack in some way, passively or actively.

"Virtually every aspect of the government's position on 9/11 is provably false," Fetzer said.

Then he needs to prove it. Thing it, he can't.

Many of the 9/11 conspiracy gang are.

[beachn4fun]

I was thinking "palestinian arab" or "paid"

[From One - Many]

Would not a 'declaration of war' from Congress stop this nonsense?

[traditional1]

"They need to find a professor to give classroom lectures on why slavery should be re-instituted in this country"

That's exactly right....this is not about freedom of expression at all; it's about blame Bush, anti-Americanism, and ONLY the moonbat comments are allowed.

Freedom of expression is ONLY allowed when it's anti-USA or politically correct in furtherance of an agenda of the Leftists.

Opposite points of view are not allowed when they oppose socialism, lunatic leftists, or the ACLU itself.....

[Neoliberalnot]

Just another leftist psycho with a strong penchant for the PC groupies. Ban him from teaching kids and let him continue his quest for the muzzies elsewhere.

[San Jacinto]

I think he's absolutely wrong, and I'm disappointed that he would have those positions," Lietz said. "But he's an individual, and he has a right to have positions, as you and I have a right to have positions."

Obviously, this guy would likewise have no problem with a professor who was a member of the KKK. Academic freedom, you know. /sarcasm

No surprises here:

[Unassuaged]

This guy sounds like he watched "V for Vendetta" a few too many times. Geesh!!!
