    "Is it more conservative to write about Red Bull, spelling errors, or whining about liberal teachers?" -Former contributor

    "a well-kept and activist-orientated blog"-Chris Collins, Seattle Times

    It does not take a majority to prevail ... but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men.

A case study in faculty lunicy

Dr. Mike Adams from UNC recently wrote a column on an interesting piece of work teaching at North Carolina Wesleyan College. For those who think Dr. Adams is spewing a lot of exageration, he was good enough to include the link to her faculty Web site Jane Christensen is her name and when I went to her page, I thought it was some kind of joke at first.

One of the first things to catch my eye, even before I read it in Adams' column was her exam questions.
1. How has the war on terrorism contributed to the powers of the Bush presidency? (Discuss at least 4 ways).

2. Discuss the sweeping attack on democratic rights under the Bush administration and what this means for the future of democratic government in America.

3. Whose interests are served by the foreign and domestic policies of the Bush administration?

4. Describe and discuss the role of the Bush advisors. Who are they? What is their agenda? And how is it being carried out?
It's almost too funny to be true--and yet there it is right before my eyes, which means it's not so funny.

Adams treats it with his state-of-the-art juicy sarcasm:
No food, drinks, gum, or cell phones are tolerated in the class of Jane Christensen (call 252-985-5118 or email jchristensen@ncwc.edu). But slander and anti-Semitism are permitted by a bigot posing as a scholar. That is, when she's not posing as a hooded terrorist with an M-16.
Check out her site and don't be frightened since I'm sure her posing in terrorist garb is just her way of endorsing al Qaeda...nothing serious of course.
