Paul Zachary Myers is nothing but no-count gutter trash lower than Satan’s bunion.

RJS1950 : The way he presented it verbally and in a public state sponsored forum is what he should be in trouble over under the university code of conduct

Boagenes: He needs to be fired, right now. He’s a vicious, hateful, Christophobe, and he should not be employed by a major university. Would they waste five seconds deciding the fate of someone who said something like this about anything to do with Islam? No, they wouldn’t.

Diamond: I can't speak for everyone else, but as a hard core Calvinist Presbyterian I think that the university ought to revoke the tenure of this vile, nut cracker (speaking of nutcrackers) and fire him. They won't, but they ought to.

chesley: The professor should be fired.

trisham: I wasn't sure this was not an overreaction until I saw post #54. This man's behaviour would not have been tolerated by previous generations. It is simply unacceptable in a civilized society.

I’d like to see him fired too, certainly a religious student of any faith should have alternatives given the contempt he’s shown for them, but I doubt anything can be done. This road has been walked before, probably the most prominent Arthur Butz at Northwestern University, one of America’s first prominent Holocaust deniers. Since he keeps his more despicable opinions outside of the classroom, and they’re outside his field of expertise-electrical engineering, his tenured position has been safe for decades. Despite the fact that his position with the University lends credibility to his ravings, as does Myers. Although though I don’t see them there today, links to Holocaust denial sites were on his University site until recently, and as a Professor, he had his views printed in the Daily Northwestern on at least one occasion. If this in on the University website, or linked to his site there, that should end immediately.

Perhaps this guy isn’t tenured. But he deserves condemnation. Northwestern’s President has condemned Butz, his department has asked him to resign, hopefully the academic community at the University of Minnesota will take similar actions.
