Just within the past week or so,
some shocking professorial behavior has come to light. In the wake of Barbara
Bush's death, California State University, Fresno professor Randa Jarrar took
to Twitter to call the former first lady an "amazing racist." Jarrar
added, "PSA: either you are against these pieces of s—- and their
genocidal ways or you're part of the problem. that's actually how simple this
is. I'm happy the witch is dead. can't wait for the rest of her family to fall
to their demise the way 1.5 million iraqis have. byyyeeeeeeee."
In New Jersey, Brookdale
Community College professor Howard Finkelstein, in a heated exchange, was
captured on video telling a conservative student, "F—- your life!" At
the City University of New York School of Law, students shouted down guest
lecturer Josh Blackman for 10 minutes before he could continue his remarks.
When Duke University President Vincent Price was trying to address alumni,
students commandeered the stage, shouting demands and telling him to leave.
None of this professorial and
student behavior is new at the nation's colleges. It's part of the leftist
agenda that dominates our colleges. A new study by Brooklyn College professor
Mitchell Langbert — "Homogeneous: The Political Affiliations of Elite
Liberal Arts College Faculty" (http://tinyurl.com/ycfomjy6) — demonstrates
that domination. (By the way, Academic Questions is a publication of the National
Association of Scholars, an organization fighting the leftist propaganda in
academia.) Langbert examines the political affiliation of Ph.D.-holding faculty
members at 51 of the 66 top-ranked liberal arts colleges according to U.S. News
& World Report. He finds that 39 percent of the colleges in his sample
are Republican-free — with zero registered Republicans on their faculties. As
for Republicans within academic departments, 78 percent of those departments
have no Republican members or so few as to make no difference.
