Too Good to Pass Up

Or too bad to pass up - you decide.

The following is from Brit Hume's Political Grapevine yesterday, April 26th:

"9/11: The Road To Tyranny"?

A professor at North Carolina Wesleyan College (search) in Rocky Mount is defending her course titled, "9/11: The Road to Tyranny," which teaches that the official story of the 9/11 attacks is actually a government cover-up. According to one required text, the attacks were orchestrated and carried out by U-S government elites themselves. Professor Jane Christensen (search) insists, "I teach the truth about 9/11 ... This is a war by the extreme right wing motivated by the Zionists to quash academic freedom." So what does the school think about all this? Well, its President says, "We don't tell professors what to think. We don't tell professor what to teach. ... that's what [Saddam Hussein] did."

"we don't tell (a) professor what to teach?" How about trying to get them to teach truth? How about trying to get them to teach facts? But allowing someone to teach whatever they damn well feel like is not allowed at universities, and the president of that college f'kin well knows it. That's what leads to Saddam Hussein!
