Academia

 

 

Yesterday on Fox News I heard a woman interviewed who is making a compilation of things said by professors in American Universities since 9-11-01 that were patently anti-American or unpatriotic. She is a member of some innocuous sounding group called Group for Study Of Academic Freedom or something like that. She says the word "unpatriotic" or "un-American" does not appear in her book that she is going to publish. She merely quotes the professor, quotes her source, and makes no further comment about it.

There was a University Professor on with her who was very uncomfortable and totally inept. He accused her of "McCarthyism" and her reply was that she made no accusations in the book merely supplied the University professor with a wider audience. I wish that I had gotten her name. She was pretty, pert, young and a very effective speaker and was having a ball. If I didn't have Dish Network TV with Fox News I would never have known about it.
