HERNDON, VA –Warren Community College English professor, John Daly, said that “Real freedom will come when soldiers in Iraq turn their guns on their superiors.” Rebecca Beach, a freshman at Warren Community College in Washington, New Jersey, received this unexpected reply to a recent email she sent the faculty at her school announcing the appearance of decorated Iraq war hero, Lt. Col. Scott Rutter, on Thursday, November 17 to discuss America’s accomplishments in Iraq.
In the email, Daly told Rebecca that he will ask students in his English and writing classes to boycott the event and also vowed “to expose [her] right-wing, anti-people politics until groups like [Rebecca’s] won’t dare show their face on a college campus.” Daly’s mean spirited and hateful comments were directed at Rebecca for organizing Lt. Col. Scott Rutter and for hanging up fliers contrasting the number of people killed under communism to those liberated under Ronald Reagan.
Since Professor John Daly has created a hostile learning environment for Rebecca, she is demanding that Warren Community College President William Austin institute seminars on free speech and sensitivity to teach intolerant leftists, such as Daly, to be respectful of differing opinion
Daly’s insane email to Rebecca also claimed that “CAPTIALISM has killed many more” people than communism [emphasis his] and that the “poor and working class people” are recruited to “fight and die for EXXON and other corporations.”
“John Daly was hired to teach English, not to verbally attack students and lead leftist protests,” said Jason Mattera, spokesman for Young America’s Foundation.
The full unedited text of Daly’s email follows.
November 13, 2005
Dear Rebecca:
I am asking my students to boycott your event. I am also going to ask others to boycott it. Your literature and signs in the entrance lobby look like fascist propaganda and is extremely offensive. Your main poster "Communism killed 100,000,000" is not only untrue, but ignores the fact that CAPITALISM has killed many more and the evidence for that can be seen in the daily news papers. The U.S. government can fly to dominate the people of Iraq in 12 hours, yet it took them five days to assist the people devastated by huricane Katrina. Racism and profits were key to their priorities. Exxon, by the way, made $9 Billion in profits this last quarter--their highest proft margin ever. Thanks to the students of WCCC and other poor and working class people who are recruited to fight and die for EXXON and other corporations who earning megaprofits from their imperialist plunders. If you want to count the number of deaths based on political systems, you can begin with the more than a million children who have died in Iraq from U.S.-imposed sanctions and war. Or the million African American people who died from lack of access to healthcare in the US over the last 10 years.
I will continue to expose your right-wing, anti-people politics until groups like your won't dare show their face on a college campus. Real freedom will come when soldiers in Iraq turn their guns on their superiors and fight for just causes and for people's needs--such freedom fighters can be counted throughout American history and they certainly will be counted again.
Prof. John Daly
"Teaching theories are like a drawer full of socks. You never know what ones will be full of holes and stink even after they're washed."
LOL Haven't heard that statement used in a LONG time!!
So lets check the balance sheet:
Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Kim il/Jong il Sung, Ho chi Minh, Castro = 100,000,000 + victims since 1917
Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Sam Walton & Family, Henry Ford, Donald Trump, et al = ZERO victims
looks like we have a TIE LOL
Sounds like the Psych section needs to get to work.
BTT - just sent my letter to the Dean....
We need to flood the office with letters.
Studying Literature and propagating its' value to others is a noble vocation.
I heard Bill Gates made a new "backdoor" and included it with the new Windows Vista. It's designed to attack the brain waves and kill anyone thinking of even trying an open source product. LOL
:O)

Copy of my email to WCCC prez William Austin:
Mr. Austin,
It is with no small amount of dismay and disgust that I write to you.
I have just finished reading the full text of Prof. Daly's email to Rebecca Beach. While I have neither the time nor the inclanation to refute the ignorance inheirent to the innumerable falsehoods and outright lies contained therein, let me address the last sentence, which summarizes the mindset of Professor Daly. It reads:
Real freedom will come when soldiers in Iraq turn their guns on their superiors and fight for just causes and for people's needs--such freedom fighters can be counted throughout American history and they certainly will be counted again.
Not only is this statement patently untrue, it also manages to encourage outright murder in the name of "peace"!
Allow me to also address the general tone of this email. Suffice it to say that Mr. Daly seems to suffer from an extreme detachment from reality. This spluttering, foolish, hate-filled diatribe was sent to an eighteen-year-old girl, yet it reads as if it were a speech on sedition from the Al Queda handbook. Mr. Daly acts as though he were a child, and reacts in an immediately confrontational manner to an announcement not directed at him him personally. Moreover, his rage, extremism, and
utter departure from legitimacy are not only out of line, but are bordering the spectrum of infinite stupidity.
How a person of this caliber was ever allowed to become an educator is entirely beyond me. I strongly urge the Board of Directors for Warren Community College and yourself to suspend John Daly immediately, pending the termination of his employment at your school.
With Utter Revulsion,
C. A. Shelton
Found this, County Superintendent William King
No email listed but I'm betting it's this wking@doe.state.nj.us
These people get tenure then act like this. Some student's Dad needs to catch him off campus and put something on him that Ajax won't remove!
It's getting really bad when an english teacher combines the teaching of marxist politics with english. Kind of like having sauerkraut and milk.
If capitalism is so bad is this guy teaching for free and living in a tent off the land?
I never tire of debating with these idiots - it's fun and entertaining to work them up so they either storm off or get real red in the face and pass out.
Hey Professor Daly-
This is my favorite part. He needs hours upon hours of sensitivity, diversity and multicultural indoctrination. He should be chained to a chair and forced to listen to Savage until his head explodes.
Alrighty then....Prof Daly is officially off the meds. This will be interesting to watch. I don't see how the college could possibly keep him on staff after attacking a student this way.
No. The guy is a nutbar, but the day you start putting people like him on trial, that government genuinely becomes the enemy.
