The follow-up letters, including one from Prof. Barlas herself, have started.

Of special interest is the attempt to label Crocker a "neo-McCarthy"ite by Barlas over his criticism of her.

Well, as we now know, McCarthy was right.

And, along with RACIST!, MCCARTHYITE! is what libs shout when they're cornered.

Thank you, BLLs.
Some quotes, and comments of my own.

"Asma Barlas
Associate professor and chair, Department of Politics; director of the Center for the Study of Culture, Race, and Ethnicity; Ithaca College, Feb. 6"

Is this an agenda-driven imbecile or is this an agenda-driven imbecile?
Choose one. ;^)
This CLOWN isn't even an American; so, the hag's use of the term McCarthism is beyond absurd.

>snip< to 2nd letter writer's opin...

"At that time a professor told us that the classical purpose of the university was to enable people to withdraw from their immediate surroundings so that they could look at the world with greater perspective; perhaps with a view to making needed changes, perhaps not."

I *think* it's more, "perhaps not" than anything else; and, always Anti-American in any event.
~eh, Lady?
As for withdrawing et al?
To Uranus & Pluto?
Then scream at the rest, "WHY CAN'T YOU SEE!??!" [us]
An university education is rapidly becoming the biggest waste of money one can possibly inflict upon themselves &/or children.

"However, I would never try to stifle dialogue in the classroom, provided the faculty are engaged in honest, reasoned discourse."

Does that make me want to gag, or what.
Lemme guess; this babe's a Liberal 'Rat & *stiffling* dialogue outside the classroom simply a matter of SOP, eh?
As I said; I'd like to wretch my guts out.

...as pointed out in a recent letter, young people will disregard the remarks of fools and scoundrels easily enough, even if they parrot them on exams to pass their courses."

Is that rich?
This idiot had better hope the *students* puke-out the Liberal's bile.
Interestingly enough the educated nonentity writing appears *OK* granting the warped, convoluted Leftist *professorate* first crack at these kids empty skulls.
However, an opposing attempt to speak an OPINION is rejected outright as some kind of threat?
Contradictions galore, Jill.

"Jill Ferguson
Village of Lansing IDIOTS, Feb. 5"

>snip< to another genius...

"I do not know Asma Barlas, and cannot say whether she hates America. But if she does, I'm still waiting for the evidence."

But that sure in the hell doesn't stop you from blathering ad infinitum now, either.
Huh?

"Jonathan Carey
Ithaca College graduate, Class of 2001, Brooklyn, Feb. 5"

...'nuff said.
Thank God in Heaven there weren't any more of these, "letters."

...these frightening examples of ignorance & nievete' on a collosal scale.
