Comical Politics

Chancellor Keon and the Board of Trustees Have Approved the End of Free Speech

At Purdue University, it is Chancellor Keon with the approval of President Cordova and the Board of Trustees who are attacking and demeaning the Constitutional First Amendment.  If you are disgusted by these activities, and those described in my last blog entry, then contact State Representative Sheila Klinker at 1-800-382-9842.   She is the State Reperesentative who "carries the water" for Purdue University. 

She not only represents the University and their interests, she is also employed by the University.  She is the important person that makes all of this happen.  She can also challenge the abuse of the Administration of Purdue University of the First Amendment.

Here is her letter to me: Dr. eisenstein, FIRE and 1st amend from Rep. Klinker

That was her only communication -- she was ready to investigate.  The result of her inquiry seems to have been an increased attack on my free speech.

Eisenstein Blog Under University Investigation

This is to inform my readers that Purdue University has decided to institute a formal investigation of this blog.   Under the confidentiality requirements which this state university operates, I cannot reveal any of the details.  But I do have an obligation to inform my readers when what they are reading is being investigated by the State of Indiana, or any other governmental body.

For those of you in Indiana, and pay taxes, now you know where your money, at least in part, is being utilized.   I have said from the begining that the attempt here, the goal here, is to close any dissent on my part.  This dissent has been political, religious, and fiscal.   I have presented conservative arguments, argued for the religious perspective, and have frequently battled with the University power structure about their misuse of State funds.

I am hoping for the best outcome.  If you Purdue's violating the First Amendment offends you, call Rep. Sheila Klinker at 1-800-382-9842

Doing My Part to End Student Abuse

Like my faculty colleagues – particularly Professors Colin Fewer and Alan Spector – I too am concerned about abuse of students by faculty.  It is simply unconsciousable that any faculty would ever have a political perspective that differs from their students or from the majority of other faculty members.  It is so wrong to offend anyone in America.

So, to all you students who feel as if you have been offended (particularly you Evangelical Christians – we all know how your world views are de-valued on a university campus) – please feel free to send me your anonymous audio tapes (edited, unedited – who cares) whenever you think your professors have said anything you deem crazy or inappropriate.  I will gladly post them at my website.  Did not get the crazy and/or inappropriate comments on tape?  No problem.  Just send me an email telling me what was said by whom, when, and where (what class, etc.) and I will post that information.

Remember, this in particular involves professors teaching inappropriate topics.  These are such things as politics in an english class, or the environment in a spanish class, or global warming in a sociology class, etc.

Do your professors not give you enough work? Do you think they grade too easily, too harshly?  What rumors have you heard about your professors? I will share your anonymous comments with the world! Just send them in.  I will publicly post the Professor, the class and all pertinent information – while making sure you, the student, remain anonymous.

Professors Fewer and Spector have made it very clear that it is all of our jobs to help students in this manner, and I intend to do my part.  And – do not worry – this is all anonymous.

Islam Cannot be a Religion of Peace

Muslim "peace" is what most of Islam is about. One is fooling themselves to consider Islam just another religious perspective. That could only be justified if one considers that the Incas are also just another religious perspective and that their activities (human sacrifices) are also protected. The exception to Islam being considered a religion, constitutionally, is the requirement that America commit suicide. There is no requirement in the Constitution that America self-destroy. If any other citizens would have had members of their community commit what Muslims have in the name of Mohammed and Islam, that community would have begged for forgiveness long ago. It is the height of arrogance and fraud that Muslims. as a world wide community, have not. All apology is theirs, not the Country which they hit on 9/11.

Ten Reasons Why Islam is NOT a Religion of Peace.
