FrontPageMagazine has a devastating indictment of a kooky left-wing professor in North Carolina who is proud to teach political un-science:
Here is Christensen's description of her course:“The events of September 11, 2001, indisputably changed the course of American politics and history. This course is offered so students may examine various events and policies leading to 911. In particular, this course will focus largely on the specific destruction in lower Manhattan and the Pentagon. We will examine the official story and analyze it critically. We will consider alternative explanations of what occurrred (sic) as well..."
“This course is outside the scope of traditional 'political science' in many ways. First it is 'unscientific' in that it relies much on eyewitness accounts and speculation. Secondly, there is not yet a solid literature on the September 11 'attacks' or on the war on terrorism. This literature is emerging, particularly on the latter. Thirdly, this course will rely somewhat extensively on alternative news media accounts and a variety of films and videos in lieu of literature.”
As I said, it's political "unscience," taught by a woman with a website so violently dumb and deluded that a freshman should be ashamed of having it. And why should NC Wesleyan students get credit for surfing the World Socialist website (that would be the "alternative media" Christensen lauds)?
