For weeks, I have toyed with the idea of writing a column about Ward Churchill. I just can’t seem to muster the energy. Maybe it’s because there are so many professors here in North Carolina who are every bit as crazy and incompetent as the now infamous Colorado professor.
For example, there is Jane Christensen who teaches at North Carolina Wesleyan College. One look at her webpage makes me proud to be a Methodist.
It isn’t really the picture of Jane holding an M-16 with a black hood over her head that bothers me. I am more bothered by her refusal to return my phone calls so we can discuss the content of her web page and some of her courses. Her webpage links to some interesting articles, which say some interesting things. An example follows:
“America is fighting wars in Afghanistan and Iraq under Zionist control…Jews rule America (and most of the world) by proxy. They trick us into fighting and dying for THEM. Politicians of the ‘free world’ are too cowardly to oppose Zionism.”
Another link presents the theory that Ariel Sharon is preparing to launch attacks in America:
“Israel is embarking upon a more aggressive approach to the war on terror that will include staging targeted killings in the United States and other friendly countries…”
Another link says that Israel is preparing to launch a nuclear attack on Iran:
“a team of U.S. computer specialists flew to Diego Garcia to fit the latest version of the software known as ‘over the horizon.’ This would allow a Harpoon (equipped with a nuclear warhead) to hit Iran’s nuclear establishments with pinpoint accuracy.”
The first reader comment on that article is posted under the name “Killing Jews is Good.” Nothing more need be said.
Before you conclude that Professor Christensen’s site recommends only anti-Semitic readings, note the following:
“The invasion of Iraq in March 2003 by coalition forces has lead to the death of at least 100,000 civilians, reveals the first scientific study…of almost 1000 households scattered across Iraq.”
You read that correctly. A scientific study “of almost 1000 households” determined that we killed 100,000 civilians in Iraq before the November election.
Given these “recommended readings,” I know most of you will be shocked at the first two questions on Christensen’s final exam for a class called “The American Presidency”:
“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.”
No leading questions, here!
But, in all fairness, Bush “43” isn’t Christensen’s only target in class. She tells students to go to Alex Jones’ website, http://www.Infowars.com, (and to use it as an official reference) because “It’s one of the best on the web!” This is not just a recommended reading. It is a required reading where students can learn nasty things about Reagan and Bush “41.”
For example, the site reports that there were homosexual prostitution rings within the Reagan and Bush White Houses. The prostitutes were little boys sent by Soviet spies to engage in, not just sodomy, but espionage. The site also speaks of “homosexual prostitution and pedophile criminal acts in a suppressed but far-reaching child sex-ring probe closely linked to Senate and House members—but also former President George H. W. Bush.”
As you read this site (remembering that “it’s one of the best on the web!”), the words “911,” “they (the Bush administration) knew,” “they not only let it happen,” and “they made it happen” come flashing across the screen. Remember Orwell’s 1984?
In all fairness, the content of the Jones’ site isn’t always anti-Semitic like many of the other recommended and required readings for Christensen’s class. For example, the site blames the Bush family for funding the build-up of the Hitler regime in the 1930s. At least that assertion implies there is something wrong with gassing the Jews. If all this is getting to be too much to believe, just go to the site and search for the article, “How Bush’s grandfather helped Hitler’s rise to power.”
No food, drinks, gum, or cell phones are tolerated in the class of Jane Christensen (call 252-985-5118 or email [email protected]). 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.

.
Mike S. Adams was born in Columbus, Mississippi on October 30, 1964. While a student at Clear Lake High School in Houston, TX, his team won the state 5A soccer championship. Mike Adams graduated from C.L.H.S. in 1983 with a 1.8 GPA. Mike Adams was ranked 734 among a class of 740, largely as a result of flunking English all four years of high school. After obtaining an Associate's degree in psychology from San Jacinto College, Mike Adams moved on to Mississippi State University where he joined the Sigma Chi Fraternity. While living in the fraternity house, his GPA rose to 3.4, allowing him to finish his B.A., and then to pursue a Master's in Psychology. In 1990, Mike Adams turned down a chance to pursue a PhD in psychology from the University of Georgia, opting instead to remain at Mississippi State to study Sociology/Criminology. This decision was made entirely on the basis of his reluctance to quit his night job as member of a musical duo. Playing music in bars and at fraternity parties and weddings financed his education. Mike Adams also played for free beer.
.
Upon getting his doctorate in 1993, Adams, then an atheist and a Democrat, was hired by UNC-Wilmington to teach in the criminal justice program. A few years later, Adams abandoned his atheism and also became a Republican. He also nearly abandoned teaching when he took a one-year leave of absence to study law at UNC-Chapel Hill in 1998. After returning to teach at UNC-Wilmington, Adams won the Faculty Member of the Year award (issued by the Office of the Dean of Students) for the second time in 2000.
.
After his involvement in a well publicized free speech controversy in the wake of the 911 terror attacks, Adams became a vocal critic of the diversity movement in academia. After making appearances on shows like Hannity and Colmes, the O'Reilly Factor, and Scarborough Country, Adams was asked to write a column for Townhall.com.
.
Today Mike Adams enjoys the privilege of expressing himself both as a teacher and a writer. Mike Adams is also an avid hunter and reader of classic literature. Mike Adams published his first book, Welcome to the Ivory Tower of Babel, in 2004. His second book, Feminists Say the Darndest Things: A Politically Incorrect Professor Confronts "Womyn" On Campus, was published in 2008.
