A Bigot Wilts in Brooklyn
A wacky Brooklyn College professor who, in the midst of a run to head the school's Department of Sociology, referred to religous people as "moral retards" has withdrawn his name from consideration, having become angry and disillusioned by the ensuing uproar, which he considers an infringement of his academic freedom. Question is, why was being considered in the first place?
The Sun reports the professor's comments were part of an article he published in 2001:
On a personal level, religiosity is merely annoying - like bad taste. This immaturity represents a significant social problem, however, because religious adherents fail to recognize their limitations. So, in the name of their faith, these moral retards are running around pointing fingers and doing real harm to others. One only has to read the newspaper to see the results of their handiwork. They discriminate, exclude, and belittle. They make a virtue of closed-mindedness and virulent ignorance. They are an ugly, violent lot.
It hardly stops there -- Shortell personifies the stinky hippy liberalism that's run amok on college campuses. For more, scroll down on his site and check out his "Recent Scholarship" and his sometime blog, which includes a post regarding Terri Schiavo telling readers we should "Get Ready for Theo-Fascism."
