On January 10th, I received a registered letter from John Fry MD Dean of the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine. My contract at Wausau Family Practice was not to be renewed. My offense, I asked several questions of radical Islamists during a required lecture at the previous week. Lecture topics are always of a medically revelant nature; trauma, podiatry, fracture treatment etc,, However, our program director Kevin O'Connell allowed two new islamist interns two and a half hours of required lecture time to preach islam.
One of the muslims actually sang his prayers. He then went on to discribe "the Pillars of Islam" after two plus hours of this several people began get uncomfortable with the lecterers calls for jihad and militancy toward the United States. All my questions were theologic in nature. I was hoping to display for the audience the plagerism mohammed practiced in writing the koran by quoting the Holy Bible when relavant. At no time was any member of the audience disrespectful.
At the end of the talk the muslims true nature showed itself as raw paranoia. He said that soon all muslims would be interred "I've seen the pictures of prisons on the internet" He admitted tithing to Global Benevolence Foundation, sending money to the families of suicide bombers. "I know Mr. Haddad, he's being held prisoner"
I was content to dust off my feet and move on. I interviewed and was offered a position at Michigan State. Somehow word of my new position got back to the people at University of Wisconsin. They called up my new employer. I was informed that Michigan state no longer had a position for me. My wife cried for hours.
Another Christian physician was also told his position was closed. His offense like mine was to ask an innocuous question.
You must have read a different bio, then, my friend. I read it..............and I haven't the slightest clue what you're talking about, and I doubt anyone else does, either.
Active in student organizations during medical school, including Medical Committee for Human Rights, Free Clinic organization, Literary Society, and Student Health Action Committee.
Sounds a little suspicious to me!
Something about this doesn't smell right. WNSW broadcasts Korean programming most of the day, and sells the rest to all comers. Last I knew Braunstein only had a one-hour show late at night once a week on some other station where he talked about boxing more than anything else.
It is? I thought the guy who posted it was the guy who wrote it. I didn't see any "FOAF" mention...
Besides...........keep in mind what this guy was fired for, assuming the story is true. I don't know if it is or not, but I CAN say that it is, unfortunately, eminently believable.
Here's another suggestion: We need conservative/libertarian professors! Don't do as Ellsworth Toohey gloated: "You left the world of ideas to people like me." Get in there, like I'm doing, and be a monkey wrench! (Be careful just how bold you are before tenure.) But even before tenure you can make a difference. Give these kids an alternative, and do it right in the belly of the beast.
You aren't the only one, Anamensis. I know others as well... ;-)
If our side can work stealth-like, we can pull it off, just like the liberals did to accomplish their nefarious goals 40-50 years ago!
(Now please send a note to Fox?? Pretty please? :)
Meanwhile I content myself with pointing out the biases in the textbooks they make me use to teach undergrads. I mean, pointing the bias out TO THE UNDERGRADS. I make them read excerpts from Ayn Rand, John McWhorter, anything I can work in somehow.
