A former Duke Lacrosse player has filed a lawsuit against the University saying he was failed by an professor because of his membership on the lacrosse team.
Kim Curtis:
"And what was it the former president said that had the Bush administration so frightened? Clinton claimed that the administration is "flat wrong" in arguing that reducing greenhouse gas emissions to fight global warming would damage the U.S. economy. Whew. Tyrannical stuff. Shut that guy up."
"It's all quite funny, but things are serious. There is no question that the world is warming at an unprecedented rate, due largely to the burning of fossil fuels."

fascinating how these poi sci prof are experts on geology and such
Sounds like a Malthusian! She must not have gotten the memo that he was discredited YEARS ago!
Aren't the institutions of higher learning infested with her clones?
Left wing poli sci professors are experts on everything!
I hope this sets a precedent....
Ludicrous that he would be punished for being on the Duke Lacrosse team.
Now if he were on the 0-12 Duke football team, then I could understand it.
By the time Miss Priss has written her second sentence, she has made her first gramatical error in her own course description.
What parent will be less than outraged upon reading that sentence? Duke is hardly a state supported community college, at least in tuition.
Chicago has a new pro team called the Shamrox with an x or something like that.
My cousin played at the college level. He says he wishes he was younger because he was good enough to play pro back then.
Fascinating!
You ALWAYS come through, kcvl!
You're absolutely super!!!
It must be said that anyone who would sign up for a course with someone who looks like that really was asking for it. Especially if he was a White Male Athlete.
Her statement of interests is enough to gag a maggot:
"Visiting Assistant Professor of Political Science,specializes in political theory with particular concentration in contemporary continental work and feminist theory. She has written Our Sense of the Real: Aesthetic Experience and Arendtian Politics. She has also published articles on multicultural education, ethical debates among feminists over new reproductive technologies, and the early women's liberation movement. She is currently at work on a book on the feminist movement in the United States that examines the relationship between theory and practice."
For whatever reason, I can't find it either. Are we sure that it's real? I also searched Lexis Nexis through the U.Va. Library System for the article, but alas, no results!

Well, that is why she is not a real professor. Even if you are a crazy feminist you need to get published in a real journal. She probably just shacked up with another tenured feminist after some rally and that's how she got the job.
Professor Curtis was among the "Group of 88" professors who published an advertisement in the Duke Chronicle calling the rape scandal a "social disaster." The Group of 88, perceived by critics as attacking the Lacrosse team, at one point thanked protesters who posted "wanted" fliers containing photos of all or nearly all of the Lacrosse players.
She certainly didn't proofread that course description.
Google "gather storm of evidence" (keep the quotes). Yeah, I guess it's petty on my part, but I got a kick out of the fact that her mistake was a unique gem.
Here's a summary of her book, presumably written by the author herself, from Amazon:
This bold and persuasive study rereads the works of Hannah Arendt to recuperate her relevance to contemporary politics and to show that her deepest concerns are oriented by her ontology. Kimberley Curtis interprets Arendt's earlier work through the lenses of The Life of the Mind, elucidating what Curtis calls an "aesthetic sensibility of tragic pleasure" as a way out of the enclave politics of late modernity.
Arguing that oblivion and radical forgetfulness of others are among the most ethically troubling features of our political landscape, Curtis shows that Arendt's aesthetic account of politics offers us an idiom in which to name and resist the depravations and dangers of our political condition. Curtis also elucidates Arendt's debt to phenomenology and argues that our sense of reality is born through highly charged sensuous provocation and mutual responsiveness. Arendt's innovation is to recognize that this countenancing of others is an aesthetic experience that creates the political world.
Curtis plumbs the relevance of this work in current issues such as gated communities for the privileged and prisons for the disenfranchised, and in the extraordinary relationship between a black civil rights leader and a Ku Klux Klan officer. Our Sense of the Real is a poetic invocation of Arendt's politics, at once lively, passionate, and crucial.
Assistant professor? And she writes like this? *SMACK ON THE KNUCKLES!*
I hope the first OF MANY TO COME. Including against Nifong, the state, etc.
