Notice how the above professor claims that churches cannot "preach politics from the pulpit," which, if true, would mean that the First Amendment is already long dead, but simply hasn't been buried yet (and puts the lie to the fallback leftist claim that hate crime laws regarding homosexuals will not, and are not intended, to eventuate in the prosecution of thought crimes against singled out classes of politically incorrect citizens).

Oh, I see, one video of an overwrought professor with poor rhetorical skills supposedly makes a point that impunes all of academia and climate science. Give me a break.

Of course, this is nothing compared to the mouth foaming that we get from Mark Levine every day. At least some of what the professors said was approximately true when divorced from his nutty style.
If this is the way it works, I can find 200 videos of crazy, evil, insane religious leaders preaching.

So I guess I will have impuned all religious conservatives by just the first one I find?

Right?

Let the contest begin! LOL

Here is my first one:

This is, as David Horowitz et al have shown, common in the humanities as social sciences, and there are thousands of such teachers, not one.

Have you seen this thread where I asked you the following questions?

1. Do you agree with Horowitz and me that the incident regarding the UC Berkeley class “The Politics and Poetics of Palestinian Resistance” is in fact emblematic of the "crisis"?
2. In response to being informed about the statement regarding Conservatives being advised not to take that class, the English department did the following: 1- it removed that sentence from the book, 2- it reinforced to the students their position that students do in fact have the right to express themselves openly, 3- it guaranteed that their grades based only upon their academic performance and not their political viewpoint, 4- the Chair of the department exhorted the students to go directly to him if there were any problems, and 5- the department closely monitored the class. Do you think this reaction was sufficient?
3. Do you have any evidence that there was an actual problem in that class regarding somebody’s academic freedom being compromised, or does the entire episode begin and end with a single sentence in a class description that was clearly intended to be rhetorical anyway?
4. Do you believe that scholarship should be based upon its own merits, or upon the intentions and passions of the person who produced it?
5. Do you believe that if a scholar competently applies professional standards of inquiry to a problem and consequently reaches a definite conclusion, he is being unprofessional?
6. Based upon your answers to the above two questions and your own analysis of the specific changes to the Academic Personnel Manual, do you believe the 43 of 46 members of UC's faculty senate who voted for the change were wrong and materially compromised academic freedom and UC?
7. Why do you think the very conservative state legislature in Topeka declined to take Horowitz’s recommended action? Why didn't they prevent Kansas tax dollars from being used to indoctrinate the students at KU and KSU with the views of Democrats and extreme leftists?
8. Given the fact that not even the die-hard Republicans in the Kansas state legislature take Horowitz seriously, why should I?

This new thread indicates you still think this issue has merit and that Horowitz has credibility. Yet you seem afraid to discuss his ideas in detail. Why is that?

He showed that it is common for people in the humanities to have horrible rhetorical skills and agressive bizarre demeanor in the class room??

That's funny.

I thought you right wingers were always complaining about too many leftists in the classroom...

Please... I doubt Droopy can tell us about the rhetorical arguments without the use of Google.

He seems to be only aware of one of them...

Conservatives teach the best lessons when not suppressed on campus. The Racist Bake Sale is one of my favorites.

You really are admitting to that level of simplistic thinking?
