The Right to Teach Bullshit

North Carolina Wesleyan University apparently has a policy allowing teachers to teach whatever mind-warping drivel they choose. In her course, "9/11; The Road to Tyranny," Professor Jane T. Christensen suggests that the terrorist attacks were carried out by the US government on behalf of pro-Israel Zionists. Apparently, there were no islamic terrorists. She believes that the terrorists that were supposedly incinerated along with the planes have been spotted alive since then. I've heard this a few other places, mostly in Yahoo message boards. Always from some angry wacked-out anarchist troll. Now my concern is not what she's saying. She has a right to say what she wants. But how can a teacher get away with filling their students heads with conspiratorial bullshit with no accountability? She's entitled to her opinion, but when she teaches her opinions as fact, it is an egregious violation of her repsponsibilities as a teacher. These claims she makes aren't even accepted by most liberals. On the one hand, you've got assholes like Noam Chomsky praising the courage and sacrifice of the hijackers, and here you've got a psycho liberal who wants to claim there are no islamic terrorists! Where do these people get these crazy ideas? Students will "never find anything that resembles the truth about 9/11 or the war in Iraq from the mainstream media," she said. In her own words, she suggested that she didn't get this information from any western news source. Who was her source? Al Jazeera? The Hezbollah website? If I were a tenured biology professor at the university in question, would I be able to teach that monkeys hatch out of eggs? After all, it is my right to say what I want!
