Duke Faculty Should Be Shunned By Students ["Courses and Classrooms of These 88 Should Be Emptied"]

Accountability finally came to Durham County District Attorney Michael Nifong last month, when he was disbarred as an attorney and forced to resign as a disgraced public officer. Last week he issued an apology and a full retraction of the rape accusations against three Duke University lacrosse players.

Now, with students heading to Duke in just a few short weeks for the beginning of the fall term, the time is at hand to demand some accountability for Nifong's academic enablers.

Eighty-eight members of the Duke faculty publicly promulgated a dreadful letter, enflaming a premature and prejudicial atmosphere against their own students. Yet, their conduct is largely shielded from accountability. Equally troublesome, their ironically and suddenly protective university masters executed a confidential settlement to further immunize the Duke cabal from civil liability exposure.

“I noticed that not one of those professors teach anything that requires scientific reasoning or logic.”

LIberals are about emotion. That is why when you are arguing with a lib and present him with an argument he cannot win, he will call you a name and run away crying.

Mental (romantic) masturbation!!!

To paraphrase the lefties, “What if the Gang of 88 offered a university course and nobody came?”

“There are TEN, count’em, TEN professors of ROMANCE STUDIES!!!!!!”

Which would account for their ability to immerse themselves in the totally fabricated story of a very reality-challenged young woman. A portion of the press got it right, it fit a romanticized perception of reality among a substantial majority of the press, a large percentage of the population at large, and the overwhelming majority of African Americans/Blacks (whatever it is this year). No surprises here. Just a child's perception of life.

Any feedback at all from parents who saw that Sowell article or alums or anybody?

[Congressman Billybob]

No, sadly. There is no direct feedback. The first hard evidence of negative impact on Duke generally will be the final admissions numbers, available after September. Will they show that this fall, Duke failed to get a larger proportion of students to whom it offered acceptance, than in prior years? I believe that will drop, but we shall see.

Threads on liestoppers.blogspot.com indicate that major lawsuits are now in the works against the city of Durham.

Their mindset and worldview have corrupted the youth into non-thinking scatterbrained (need I say it) liberals.

They are called the “mosaic generation” - incapable of logical linear analysis of situations.
