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.

[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.

[bnelson44]

"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.

[From One - Many]

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

[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!!!

[LexBaird]

I wonder what would happen if all the students in his classes sued for fraud? I think the true damages should be the cost of the class and materials, plus the lost time, billed out at whatever this professor gets for an hour of speaking, for each student in every class he teaches. Then, there are the damages for emotional distress inflicted by lying about the nature of our government and infliction of anxiety.

The Chancellor, tenure board, dean of the department, and University president, and the University itself should be named in the suit as well, each for the same amount. A few wins in cases like this, and I bet you'd see some crackdowns in political prostitute professors.

[driftless2]

I don't care what views professors hold in private. What they say to students should hold them accountable. Do people really believe that academia should be allowed to say anything to students? Freedom of speech is relative. The so-called freedom to lie to students is not something inviolate.

[fortunecookie]

Crazy? No. Commie? Yes! And fully entrenched, with the support of the school, to 'enlighten' and indoctrinate and expand the horizons of our students, some of whom will suck it up as the truth not to taught to them when they were mere 'children'. Helping ensure another leftie dem generation (since they aren't reproducing). Aaaaah.

[hellinahandcart]

"Of course, all of us have difficulty imagining our government could have attacked our own government," he said. "But do you know there are an awful lot of people who have paid attention to the evidence that are coming around?"

Yeah, and an awful lot of people are converting to Islam, too.

There are times when I just want to spend the entire day banging my head against a hard surface. This is one of those times.
