There are about 620,000 college and university professors in the United States. And, if you have ever been to college, you know that it is not too unusual to run into an obsessed professor who is so caught up in his area of expertise that he appears a little nutty. He might have two doctorates in the field of abnormal human behavior, but he himself is a somewhat freakish character, and he might even be mistaken for a "street person," when seen off campus. But on campus, he is the justly revered world's expert on the Freudian implication of the shape and size of oil field derricks, and the mysteriously emasculating effect derrick stability has on Islamic savages, the so-called "BUH-BAM"[Broke-Back Afghanistani Mountain] syndrome. The professor, in our frivolously fictional example, feels certain that the BUH-BAM syndrome is the root cause of why Islamic savages treat women like cattle, and prefer to live in stinking caves, made that way by a bevy of like-minded unwashed "jihad" camel jockeys.

The point to be examined is that our harmlessly slightly nutty professor, in this imaginary example, has nevertheless taught "Introduction to Psychology" successfully for forty years, without once betraying his political preference, right or left, and without trying to make his students conform to his own political image of himself. And, he has taught the fundamentals of the study of human behavior to two generations of college students without converting them, or otherwise causing them, to take up his lifetime study: "The Phallic Phenomena of Oil Well Derricks," subtitled, "How Derrick Envy Created Suicide Bombers."

However, in the "real" world of nonfiction academia, there are more and more radical professors preying on the unformed minds of young students, held intellectually captive in their classrooms while being ridiculed for their religious beliefs and patriotism. The real professors in the news today are not harmless cranks. They are malignant America haters, to use a familiar phrase one usually reserves for describing the wacko left wing in Hollywood. No, these guys are not the familiar old harmless eccentric "head in the clouds" professors. Take Professor Ward Churchill, for starters. He is perhaps the most famous (infamous by normal standards) current malignant America hater. He is the University of Colorado professor of "ethnic studies." Back in October 2001, he described the victims of 9/11 as "little Eichmanns" who had been rightly targeted as a "technocratic corps at the very heart of America's global financial empire." In other words a professor from a mainstream American university said, in effect, that America brought 9/11 on itself? Those comments enraged the American public, and soon after they became public, the "Rocky Mountain News" revealed that Churchill had lied about his American Indian status (which got him his job as an "ethnic specialist"in the first place), and that he lied about his academic credentials, and that he had plagiarized (that means "lifted" or stole, boys) the work of other professors, and that he had filled his academic writings with invented facts. [Readers may go to Google and type the words "Rocky Mountain News Ward Churchill" for more info than one can recite here, kk]

One would think, after all that, Churchill would have been fired. Instead, he became a hero to a small, but an influential, like-minded national group of leftie wacko America hating professors. Churchill did finally resign as chairman of the university's ethnic studies department, but as far as I know at this writing he's still a tenured professor at Colorado? Churchill is but one of too many professors who use their positions to propagandize against America, instead of teaching both sides of every issue and letting their students decide for themselves the validity of what they've just been exposed to, or taught. Many of these professors are unreconstructed communists, who moan the loss of Russian communist-type state ownership of everything, and who yearn for the destruction of the American idea of private ownership, including homes, and small businesses, or they're "Islamist studies" professors who boldly preach for the destruction of Israel and America. Here's Professor Joe Feagin of Texas A&M University. He thinks that "America is a total racist society" in which "every part of the life cycle, and most aspects of one's life, are shaped by the racism that is integral to [America's, kk] foundation." In his, "Racist America: Roots, Current Realities and Future Reparations," Routledge, 2000, Feagin writes: "One can accurately describe the United States, . . . as a total racist society in which every major aspect of life is shaped to some degree by the core racist realities." Now, Professor Joe Feagin is not just any Marxist professor. From 1990-2000, one finds, after a brief background check, that he was the president of the American Sociological Association, a professional organization to which most professors of sociology belong? Before we leave Feagin, here's another of his core teachings: ". . the white-racist mind is the basic problem on campus and in society (see above referenced work)." He has also written that "one of the ways racism plays out in colleges and universities is in a severe bias in curriculums that examine issues in white society . . . " One wonders if Professor Feagin realizes that the education that he uses to attack his fellow Americans (us?) is the product of a variety of world sources (African, Arab, Asian, etc.), all of which would have been lost to him and us were it not for a bunch of Medieval "white guys" collecting, teaching, and importing that world knowledge to all of us from Europe's great universities? And has Feagin not seen the multi cultural curriculum imposed on the hapless students of the very university in which he teaches? Texas A&M is the last place you would expect such leftie wacko nonsense.

But Ward Churchill and Joe Feagin are but two out of hundreds of professors preaching hatred of whites, in general, and Christians and Jews in the particular. What's your take on Professor Timothy Shortell's hateful statement that religious Americans [who believe in God, kk]are in general "religious retards?" Shortell teaches at Brooklyn College/City University of New York (From "Top Prof Sparks Outrage," New York Daily News, May 23, 2005). And let's not forget the infamous Angela Davis. Yes the former Black Panther, Communist Party member, until 1991, and comrade of convicted rapist, crack addict and murderer, Huey Newton, is a full tenured professor of the "history of consciousness" [Many of the poisonous professors teach such fad, nonintellectually secure, courses, kk] program at the University of California, Santa Cruz (FrontPageMag.com). By the way, the program at Santa Cruz gave Newton a PhD, and his "papers" are on file at Stanford University, never mind that Professor Page Smith of Santa Cruz said that he only awarded Newton the PhD to "demonstrate that [the] PhD is a fraud" (from FrontPageMag.com).

How does one summarize this piece? American universities are under attack, and some departments are controlled by a powerful small minority of leftie wacko professors who teach our young people poisonous viciously loaded anti American lies, and call it "scholarship." They hate religion and hate this country. There are a few such "imported" professors in universities within 60 to 100 miles of here. One is making a list, and checking it twice.
