Are you kidding,? They have their very own Ward Churchill. The only thing in this creature's future is a big raise and tenure fast-track.
Jeez! Loyola University is paying this raging, hating, monster.
And Muslim anti-imperialists too.
Howe do we get rid of these people????
Frankly, I don't believe a word of this. This smacks of lib fantasy like that professor who vandalized her own car.
ACADEMICS ON CRACK
sic Horowitz on her.
Hmmmm. Interesting point.
In fact it is unlikely that service members would take her class in social justice, unless they were required to for a criminal justice study program.
And another thing, it looks like she sicced her very left-wing class on some young vets in her class --- if this is not just a fantasy as you said.
Picture of the POS here

Her doctorate is in education methodology. Her family doesn't seem to realize she's a communist.
Not everyone in NC thrilled they're supporting her:
"RALEIGH — North Carolina taxpayers are supporting, through the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, an "independent news" site that regularly features calls for the execution of George W. Bush, promotes armed uprisings in America, and receives dozens of other conspiratorial rants too bizarre to explain."

Here is her lovely website complete with Che picture:
http://juneterpstra.com/
and here is how she identifies herself:
"June Scorza Terpstra is an activist educator of Italian ancestry residing in North America in the Empire entity referred to as the USA." I don't understand why people like this don't just leave the country they hate so much. Uh maybe it's because academia supports their hate speech?
No matter it is still tripe!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Bridge is brought to you by Mystic River Green-Rainbow Action and the dedicated working committee of this Cambridge and Somerville community newspaper.
She hates this country so much, why isn't she living in Iran or Cuba or Venezuela?
I must agree that this sounds like a sick fantasy. The author wants to make a point so they make up these incidents. If it isn't a fantasy, then it goes to prove the point of the paranoia and delusions of the left-wing professors.
Well, she posted this on her blog in response to the "veteran" she doubtless paid to comment on her garbage.
Right after the second Iraq invasion I attempted to bring in two speakers and the university I worked for at the time came after me with a vengence. I fought that with legal help and people backed down but it has not been until this last semester that I brought in outside speakers again.
That implies that she worked for another university in 2003, and then left sometime between then and now. It'd be interesting to learn why she left.
I simply don't believe her story about the university fighting her for bringing a couple of anti-war speakers to campus, but OTOH it's clear to me that she didn't leave voluntarily because of the way she speaks of her former employer. That rules out her being tenured at that other university - she could have molested children in her classes and still not have been fired if she had tenure.
If I had to put money on it, I'll bet the author of this piece was some graduate student in one of the victimhood make-work "degree" programs (womyn's studies, ethic studies, etc.) who couldn't even make the academic "standards" there, was cut loose and then somehow wound up at Loyola.
If that's the case Loyola doesn't seem to know about it. I searched their faculty directory and there's no entry for this joker anywhere. A lot of web-published commie rants, but nothing else of note. Dr. Terpstra does have a website here, where more of the same nonsense is published.
As for the paper that published this, The Bridge is put out by a Cambridge, Massachussets group called "Mystic River Green-Rainbow Action" who focus on "Green-Rainbow issues," whatever those are.
Sounds like a bunch of throwback hippies and unreconstructed Commie revolutionaries in an anti-government circle-jerk to me.
Any time you see the code words "social justice" you know it means a far left, America and capitalism are the root of all evil agenda. Plus white Americans are responsible for all the poverty and racism in this country and the world.
I don't know. Sounds like the same crap a friend of mine put up with upon returning from Korea in 1953 and enrolling in CCNY. My bud says it made him crazy to have to listen to all the Left Wing BS at the time, classes with themes like "What's New on the Left! vs Threat from the Right!" as he put it (not an actual course title).
Soft headed, seditious, lefties intent on indoctrinating their students seem to be a constant in academia.
It was the political science/anthropology/sociology profs I had that were the most militantly leftist. Lot's of talk of agrarian reformers, worker's democracy, ad nauseum.
One instructor had written a monograph praising Vietnam anti-war types, published by the University press and made it required reading for all his students. Another prof was an activist member of CESPES (pro-communist guerilla Committee on something or other for El Salvador)during the El Salvadoran and Nicarauguan wars of the 80's in Central America.
The personable ones could be fun and intellectually stimulating, the doctrinaire-Stalinist types gave off the vibe that they'd just as soon put the conservative students up against a wall, and probably would if given half a chance.
Religion, philosophy and history instructors seemed more interested in academic excellence than in trying to wage to political war.
As another poster puts it, Just My Two Cents.
Yeah, the world can learn alot about civility from the middle east,,,,,,,,
why is she teaching at all? She's a moron.
