Professor disputes Holocaust By GEORGE A. CHIDI, Rocky Mount Telegram Saturday, May 21, 2005 The phone call inquiring about Professor Jane Christensen's views on the Holocaust was brief. Asked directly about her view of the Holocaust — Do you believe that the historic accounts of the Holocaust are true? — Christensen's response was cryptic and evasive. "Do you mean the Holocaust in Fallujah?" she said. No. The question referred to the conventionally held definition of the Holocaust, in which 6 million Jews were killed by Nazis, many in concentration camps. The question was redirected — Do you believe Germany...

Prof. Jane Christensen and her disciples are furious I questioned her conspiracy theories about 9/11. Jihad Jane Attacks Frontpage Writer By Jon SandersFrontPageMagazine.com | May 10, 2005My Frontpagemag article about Prof. Jane Christensen's course at N.C. Wesleyan College, which uses conspiracy mongers' websites to argue that the U.S. government attacked its own citizens Sept. 11, brought upon me the most extreme--and telling--denouncements imaginable from the professor, her websites and their acolytes. I have been accused of everything from lying to collaborating with the CIA or the Bush administration, and not above suspicion of communism, of Trotskyism, of being a "neo-con," of...

North Carolina Wesleyan College defends the prof who said, "the 'Holocaust' was the greatest hoax of all" -- and told me to f--- myself! The Reign of Jane has Churchill Looking Sane By Mike AdamsTownhall.com | May 4, 2005When I was in grammar school there was a kid on my block named David. He often tried to make others look like idiots by accusing them of saying things they never really said. For example, he used to lean over to people as if they were whispering something to him. He would then recoil in apparent horror exclaiming, "No, I will...

Web site stirs up criticism By Natalie Jordan, Rocky Mount Telegram Saturday, April 23, 2005 The Web site of an N.C. Wesleyan College professor has drawn fire from bloggers, columnists and other Internet surfers regarding its content. Jane Christensen, an associate professor of political science at the college, has a home page on the college's Web site that displays links to anti-war groups, alternative ideas about the Sept. 11 attacks, political action networks and pictures of masked people carrying weapons. The site also has links to her syllabi that give full descriptions of the classes she teaches. The site...

For weeks, I have toyed with the idea of writing a column about Ward Churchill. I just can't seem to muster the energy. Maybe it's because there are so many professors here in North Carolina who are every bit as crazy and incompetent as the now infamous Colorado professor. For example, there is Jane Christensen (http://faculty.ncwc.edu/Jchristensen/) who teaches at North Carolina Wesleyan College. One look at her webpage makes me proud to be a Methodist. It isn't really the picture of Jane holding an M-16 with a black hood over her head that bothers me. I am more bothered by...

Professor defends Web siteBy GEORGE A. CHIDI, Rocky Mount Telegram Saturday, May 14, 2005 Not all of the e-mail Professor Jane Christensen has received in the last few weeks has been death threats, she said. "A lot of it is positive," said the N.C. Wesleyan College political science professor at the heart of controversy about a course criticizing the official accounts of the 9/11 attacks. "A lot of people have been very supportive." The herky-jerky revelations about Christensen's views emerged in online Web logs, also called blogs, linking back to commentary from Web sites such as Frontpagemag.org and Townhall.com,...
