FYI: faculty at Ohio State University are now officially using tax-funded university email accounts and resources to endorse the “Occupy Columbus” movement. Here is the text of an email sent by Pranav Jani, a Communist and a professor in the Department of English:
--- *Please forward widely*
On Monday, October 24, a group led by students from OSU will be bringing the “Occupy” movement to Ohio State. As the poster below suggests, there will be events from 12-5, followed by a march downtown to join Occupy Columbus. The general slogan is around fighting corporatization of the university, and in higher education in general. All points of view are welcome.
The group is requesting “teachers” (faculty, grad students, lecturers) to join the events, announce them in their classes, and/or allow students to participate without penalty. Or to participate in any way you like or feel that you can. Similarly, please use the flier below in any way you feel is appropriate.
If you are interested in helping to plan faculty involvement, or if you would like to endorse this event in some way, please contact me (Associate Professor, English) at pranavjani@gmail.com or Kimberley Springer (Associate Professor, Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies) at kspringeruk@sbcglobal.net). We prefer that you contact us off the listservs and at these email accounts.
You can also look up Occupy the Oval on Facebook or Occupy Columbus at www.occupycolumbus.org
Peace Pranav
* Please note: John Carlos, the Olympic athlete and activist who was one of the most riveting symbols of 1968, is being invited to attend, as he will be speaking at OSU that evening. He is still not confirmed as of yet.
I dated a sociology professor for a while. Her students got college credits for anti war protests and “die ins”.
All the college credit with no actual basket weaving required.
Dear The Ohio State University:
We are a 4-generation family of OSU graduates.
We will be making NO contributions to any OSU causes from now until OSU stops the use of the tax-payer funded email system by liberal professors, to spread the liberal socialist agenda.
Best Wishes in your future endeavors and good luck with your liberal agenda.
never head of him
never HEARD of him
Someone needs to tell this overpaid moron.. it’s called an I-P-H-O-N-E..... - YOU - own it and it can send emails too...
duh...
Abolish the Federal Department of Education!
A major part of successfully dissassembling socialism in our colleges and universities is abolishing the Federal Department of Education. Let the institutions of higher learning be supported by the several States OR by private means. No tax money support for teaching lies, sedition, and subversion.
Wasn’t he one of the 2 athletes on the awards dias who put their clenched arms into the air in a Nazi-like salute??? Track & field entrants, IIRC.
I’s glad they were stripped of their medals!!! They were both disgusting.
WOW! The over 140 OBAMAVILLES that have sprung up in the Nation’s Parks in just the last month are a good indication that Obama’s Legacy is going to be secure!
A certain indicator that the OBAMAVILLES are going to multiply comes from the addresses of fund-raising groups, such as from this porfessor who is an “ - - - Associate Professor, Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies.”
Those who doubt the proliferation of “Obama Spawn,” just dream on!
Ah, the chants of October, just listen: “ DEBT GREED, DEBT GREED, what-else-do-we-really-need? DEBT GREED, DEBT GREED, what-else-do-we-really-need? “
