This comes from Charlie Daniels website, and I thought he responded well to the spineless professor.

[Consort]

Also discussed here last month.

And he can he can play the fiddle too!!!

Can you imagine this guy dealing with Al Qu'aida at his door?

Mr. Diversity

[geopyg]

Mr. Diversity now needs to get aquainted with a new (diverse?) job, as i recall seeing that he was fired.

What do you think? Does this guy look like a pedophile or what? I think your caption should have read Mr.NAMBLA

[Bonaparte]

If so, it must have been very recently. He's still listed on SXU's faculty roster. Profs like him are the reason I audited every last professor before selecting which section I chose for a course. When I was in doubt, I went to their offices and interviewed them. I could usually tell who they were within a couple minutes.

[Bonaparte]

Here it is. He was reprimanded, suspended from teaching for the rest of this semester and will be subject to academic review in the spring. It wasn't just about the e-mail he sent.

[geopyg]

The following is something I just pulled up from "the Datrmuth Review" dated about Nov. 9th. I guess he's not "fired", just "relieved"! I left the second paragraph in as a good example of the elitest gobbly-gook they shovel out. :

Kirstein has been “relieved of his teaching responsibilities” for the current semester and officially reprimanded. Faculty will review his record at the university during the spring term. Some conservatives, including Stanley Kurtz of the National Review, disagree with St. Xavier’s handling of the matter:

“The best way to combat Kirstein’s outrageous statements is by making arguments and issuing condemnations, not by banning him from the classroom. True, the case against punishment is not iron-clad. Professor Kirstein’s outrageous letter did violate the standards of professionalism promulgated by the American Association of University Professors. It would be perfectly fair to take Kirstein’s actions into account in a tenure decision, and a teacher who grievously and persistently insulted his students in class could not be allowed to continue with impunity. But in a case like this, while punishment may not be categorically illegitimate, it is nonetheless best to act on the principle that the best remedy for offensive speech is more speech.”

[Bonaparte]

...and here are documents and news articles related to all this. The guy's a mess.

[RLK]

The only thing that is going to settle this is a bloody civil war which is about 35 years overdue.

[Bonaparte]

LOL! This is a scream. Richard Yanikoski, President of SXU, is a former member of the USAF! His open reply to all the letters of protest he received about Kirstein makes it clear that he is less than pleased with this peckerwood.

[Schnucki]

I looked at that picture and, honestly, my first thought was, "is that a man or a woman?"

[Bonaparte]

While I can't vouch for his sexual "persuasion," I would venture to say that there are plenty of women who are more man than he is.

[meadsjn]

...a bloody civil war which is about 35 years overdue.

The Dems almost got it rolling in Nov/Dec 2000. You'll only have to wait until they regain control.

[jedwardtremlett]

What do I think?

I think the letter from the nut stands on its own, with no need to comment whatsoever. Charlie should save his energy for the people you actually have to THINK about.

Either that or the fiddle.

"...as long as you are a tenured professor..."

Fortunately, Kirstein isn't tenured. If he were, he'd be a lot more belligerant and practically impossible to get rid of. As it is, he has to grovel to keep his job.
