This is disturbing on so many levels…where to begin!
Fox News reports the contents of an email sent from William Dorland, the director of the Honors College at the University of Maryland. After a welcoming sentence to new and returning students Dorland’d email becomes a political rant:
“This year, we learned that it is legal to hunt down and kill American children in Florida,” it reads, in a reference to the trial of George Zimmerman, who was cleared of all charges in the fatal shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. The email went out to all students in the Honors College.
The political language continued:
“This year, the most activist Supreme Court in the history of the United States and radical factions of gun owners, gun manufacturers, and marijuana users are challenging the very fabric of the nation…”
Dorland then invites students to attend a lecture by former NAACP chairman Julian Bond.
The email comes on the heels of a host of allegations of bias on college campuses around the country this fall — from a case at UNC Chapel Hill in which funding was cut for two conservative speakers to appear on campus, to an incident at the University of Kansas, where a professor said he hoped the next shooting victims would be children of NRA members.
Disgraceful…unprofessional…adolescent…dangerous!
What? The man’s not entitled to air his opinion of the state of the nation? I thought it was an interesting mix. He’s down on legalized marijuana, you’ll notice.
I guess you could say it’s an interesting mix if saying that it’s “now legal” to “hunt down and kill American children” reflects the sate of the nation rather than the state of a sick mind.
This is the Director of the Honors College!
You have to admit, things have certainly changed a lot since Pat Boone wore a white sport coat and a pink carnation.
And with that I am, much to late, off to dreamland. Night all.
