On Monday morning, one University of Iowa professor had three words to say to those conservative students at her university:
“F[%$&] YOU, REPUBLICANS”
The professor, Ellen Lewin, teaches Anthropology and Gender, Women’s & Sexuality Studies in the Department of Gender, Women’s & Sexuality Studies. The taxpayers of Iowa pay her $94,800 a year plus benefits for the value she presumably adds to their state university’s campus (when she is not cursing out her students).
Lewin used her university email to tell her university’s students to “F[#$^] OFF” because they used the term “coming out of the closet” in an email that had been previously approved by the university.
When a person “comes out of the closet” announcing that they are gay, they do that because of what they believe, and because they don’t want to hide how they feel anymore. Apparently Lewin has not considered the fact that a conservative on a college campus could feel the same way: tired of hiding feelings and opinions that many treat with disdain and disgust—tired of hiding opinions that could even get them academically punished.

Not surprising, when you consider that 80% of those in the field of Social Science identify themselves as liberal and a prominent researcher in the study of bias has found that "conservatives" are now the new minority and indeed discriminated against within the field, finding it difficult if not impossible to get research grants or papers published. Thus, "scientific" studies today are so liberally biased.
But it is sad, that we are at a point in history that a University Professor feels so comfortable openly demonstrating such blatant, crude contempt and hostility toward this new minority group. Maybe its time to get rid of tenure? Maybe its time to declare this new minority group a "protected" group?
"Dr. Haidt (pronounced height) told the audience that he had been corresponding with a couple of non-liberal graduate students in social psychology whose experiences reminded him of closeted gay students in the 1980s. He quoted — anonymously — from their e-mails describing how they hid their feelings when colleagues made political small talk and jokes predicated on the assumption that everyone was a liberal."
Should we expect anything more from a yellow-bellied, cry-baby, rotten-to-the-core Liberal professor? This lady represents the scum of the earth as far as I'm concerned.
It was okay when Cheney told Leahy to go xxx himself, right? And on the senate floor!
Look it up.
Another silly thread that's completely partisan.
Really???
You know slightly more than 1/2 of this country is conservative, this woman is radical and there should be repercussions for this kind of unacceptable behavior...

Honestly, what are you afraid of? Do you think that her announcing her lifestyle is going to somehow make you like her?

It's one thing to swear at a political rival, it's another when someone in a position of power basically states that she will discriminate against students because of their political beliefs.
Cursing at a political rival does not equal openly admitting your bias when you are supposed to remain impartial.
It's apples and oranges.
