Vote Bérubé!

22:00 / 28.02.06

Many of you know all about David Horowitz and Frontpage Mag (we had a thread about them a while ago) so it will come as no surprise that this fighter against the liberal stranglehold on education is running a poll to determine America's worst professor.

Clearly, there are many professors who dedicate their lives to poisoning the minds of those innocent US children (I'm looking at you, prof. alas) but the blogosphere, in its infinite free market wisdom, has singled out Michael Bérubé as the most debased Stalinist bully.

Read all about it here, and cast your vote accordingly. Before the polls were reset - errr, due to the technical difficulties of bots - Bérubé was way in the lead, now he is just largely in the lead. Man, and you thought Chomsky was the danger. Wait till you hear the craven apologetics of Micheal Bérubé.

Actually, Micheal Bérubé has an excellent blog, especially his entries about his son Jamie. Well worth a read, even if you don't want to undermine poor old Horowitz's poll.

This professor could use an ethics class or two.

Do we know Mindbender is a Professor? Hell, can you be a Doctor and not have the Prof title?

Anyway, I think this guy is the absolute worst. He only needs to deal with a few students at a time usually, but they get killed fairly frequently, and injured all the time.

I have heard Michael Berube speak, it was sometime in the mid-90s, and he's wonderful. (And he had on a fabulous electric blue suit, too!)

Me, I am trying not to think David Horowitz=Pol Pot, nor of hemlock, for that matter ....

Well, I'd love to stay around and chat, but have much more work to do. Corrupting Our Nation's Youth takes so much time. Plus I gotta write up that separatist man-hating baby-killing feminist manifesto, as well, and set up some hiring quotas, and maybe dismantle capitalism, truth, justice, and Everything America Holds Dear. As a start, anyway.

Just for fun, I voted for Noam Chomsky.

(Chomsky is retired...is the site aware of that?)

I guess some sins cannot be forgiven.
