Unless you live in a cave, you’ve heard by now of the English professor who emailed his student and told her that US soldiers should kill their officers (and if you have been living in a cave, here is the WorldNetDaily story).
I decided to do a little digging, so I googled Warren County Community College to find the URL, and clicked. When you go to the Warren County Community College website, you get a splash page that says:
Press Release
November 17, 2005Warren County Community College is a “students first” college where learning without limits is always the main goal. We maintain a mission of building a community of learners through accessible, quality learning opportunities designed to meet personal aspirations for all students.
It has been brought to the administration’s attention that a part-time instructor, Mr. John Daly, speaking for himself and using his personal email, sent a message to a student representing the Young Americans for Freedom in response to a personal email from her requesting him to announce an upcoming event on the campus. Mr Daly responded to her alone, and expressed his own personal views regarding his beliefs about this group.
The viewpoints of this professor in no way depict the views of Warren County Community College, its administration, or the Board of Trustees. The College does however support the constitution, the first amendment, and the right to free speech.
Additionally, Mr. Daly’s message was sent as a one-to-one message, via e-mail, to one person, and not to the college community. Finally, the College is viewing this message as a personnel issue and will be addressing it according to the policies and procedures of the College.
Dr. Austin, college president stated, “I firmly believe every employee and student has first amendment rights, no matter how repugnant I personally find Mr. Daly’s statements. Our attorneys have advised us of our obligation to follow state laws, board policies, and college due process in regards to any personnel matter. We are now investigating this matter further.”
They are, of course, evading the issue, which isn’t the email message, but this particular portion:
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.
Of course, our hippie professor is perfectly free to go to all the “power to the people” demonstrations he likes. It is the university’s responsibility, however, to ensure that his intent to “expose” conservatives until they “won’t dare show their face” does not happen in the classroom, or at any time when he represents the university.
Unlike Indiana, New Jersey trustees seem to be faculty, which is not a good thing. However, the board of trustees are who you should contact. You can find the trustees here (contacting the state legislators, even if you are from New Jersey, is a waste). Here is the college president’s email addy (telling him what you think would be a good idea).
If you want to email our commie-apologist professor, here is his email addy.

This is so completely unacceptable that I don’t know where to begin. I have sent every email that I could send speaking out against this professor’s left wing liberal “crap” and his use of a public position to force it upon impressionable young minds. I am confident that justice will be served and he will no longer be in the employ of the college, but that does not ease my mind when I imagine the thousands of other educators who are passing along the same garbage to their students. I am frighjtened by the fact that I could send my kids to college with responsible ethical and moral values and have them returned to me as communists.

Unacceptable it may be, but it’s certainly common.
