Amazing
The Dirty Thirty

Too bad they can't all be fired and made to get real jobs. Wonder how they fell about their entires lives being a lie.....
Just more proof that liberals suffer from many mental disorders.
All I can say is "Goodbye Mr. Chips".
I'm underwhelmed by Horowitz's list.
The real rot in academe is the denial of objective truth. Where it Stanley Fish? Where are all the deconstructionists?
Mere leftist activism is less corosive of both freedom and the academic enterprise than the belief or assertion that there is no truth and all that exists are power relationships.
Heh. One of my lecturers was (probably still is) best mates with John Pilger.
To call them dangerous is to overestimate their importance. Call them the ten most ridiculous professors in America.
Most of the Profs..are wimps ..with lifelong Liberal
philosophy and their influence perpetuates the one thing
that hurts this country..more educated, ingnorant, liberal
wimps....they even abhor the Military on campus...Jake
I'd assumed that anti-American-phony-Indian Ward Churchill would make the list, but I see these professors are even worse.
I wonder who Horowitz would have on his list for numbers 11 through 20.
I find it interesting that not one of those teaches at a college in the South (not including Texas.) I went to an SEC college and believe me, this kind of garbage would not fly there. I am sure there are plenty of left-leaning professors at southern colleges, but NOTHING like this.
I was certain I would find his name on this list. I'm surprised that I didn't.
We should work on the abolition of tenure, for starters. Professors should be at-will employees just like anybody else.

Beats publishing crap to get more attention.
How do you propose to go about that. Most colleges are private enterprises.
Mike Medved has Robert Jensen of Texas on yesterday with David. It was a nutter vs reality. The public should read this book but my guess is, no reviews, no acceptance and MSM reviewers will smear David Hor.
Bell Hooks is scary. She's an angry woman who smiles alot. The angrier she gets the wider her smile. I'd hate to be in her class expressing 1 conservative thought. I'd get flunked for sure.
"The day may come when we can do something about them."
Yeah, when we can hang em high for treason.
