From the Fahrenheit 451 department comes this indictment of California’s higher education’s “tolerance” for opposing views. When I first got the tip on this, I thought to myself “nobody can be this stupid to photograph themselves doing this” but, here they are, right from the San Jose State University Meteorology Department web page:

The caption from the SJSU website reads:

This week we received a deluge of free books from the Heartland Institute {this or this }. The book is entitled “The Mad, Mad, Made World of Climatism”. SHown above, Drs. Bridger and Clements test the flammability of the book.

Maybe they just can’t help themselves, note the pictures on the wall.

Here is a screencap of the website relevant section:

This is the link for book: The Mad Mad Mad World of Climatism

I think Drs. Bridger and Clements have proved the point of the book quite well.

San Jose State University Meteorology decides burning books they don’t agree with is better than reading them

[Da Coyote]

If they agree with the climate science bull Obama, one should question the source of their PhDs.

It is obvious that physics is not their forte.

Neither is math.

[BenLurkin]

Scratch a liberal — find a Fascist underneath, every time.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

We know that,...but their funders don’t give a damn!

[muawiyah]

SA 101, and SS advanced placement ~ burning books always gives people a bad reputation.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

So it has come to this.

[Cicero]

I see that Allison Bridger is chair of the department.

She’s evidently burned her way up to the top.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

They really feel secure in their funding.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

LOL!

[Cicero]

And here's a self-posted photo from her faculty web site:

Well, that is another “university” whose students I will never hire. Nothing personal, but I simply doubt whether they were taught any critical thinking skills. Hint: I read a LOT of leftist junk so I know how to take it apart. Burning books that contain opposing views OTOH reflects a weak mind. And weak minds make poor teachers.

[magellan]

Wow.

[Paladin2]

They appear to be leftist terrorists who need to be reported to HLS.

[RedMDer]

FR is funded solely by the freedom loving folks who love and use it.
Stand with Free Republic.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

LOL!

[cripplecreek]

She apparently has a thing for fire if the framed photos behind her are an indication.

BURNING BOOKS!?!?!

How ‘Hitleresque’

[Marine_Uncle]

"So it has come to this."
Such behavior has been in-acted for a very long time.

[goat granny]

back in the 60’s or 70’ they burned a book I was read to as a child...”little black Sambo” as a child it was not racially interpreted by me to be about race, just a little boy who was black......idiots turned everyone into idiots..the book was taken off the childrens reading and laws that it could not be published....or else....The left love to burn books....

[Marine_Uncle]

"...The left love to burn books...."
So did Hitler and Stalin's goons. :)
