www.michaelberube.com. and in Jennifer Jacobson, “Dangerous Minds,”
Chronicle of Higher Education, February 17, 2006. Jacobson interviewed Berube about the book.
14 Berube subsequently wrote a book defending the academic Left called
What’s Liberal about the Liberal Arts? in which he continued his attacks on the author. A review of Berube’s book by the author can be found here:
15 Berube also conceded that the profile of himself which claimed that he viewed the classroom as a vehicle of social transformation and which he ridiculed as an ignorant misrepresentation of his views were criticisms of his work also made by Stanley Fish in
Professional Correctness , a book which drew a very different response from Berube.

3 The term was coined by Roger Kimball in a book of the same name.
4 When I was at Columbia College in the 1950s, there was a reluctance to look at events more recent than twenty-five years in the past because of the dangers of “present-mindedness” and the fear that events so fresh could not be examined with “scholarly disinterest.”
5 These templates can be found in university catalogues. When I visited the president of Brandeis College, Yehuda Reinharz, he had throw pillows on his office sofa inscribed with the words, “Peace” and “Social Justice.” Brandeis professors profiled in this volume include Gordon Fellman and Dessima Williams.
6 Bernardine Dohrn and Bill Ayers raised Kathy Boudin’s child during the twenty years she was in prison. For an account of the Weather Underground, see Peter Collier and David Horowitz,

15 At a speech at the University of Michigan, which I gave in the spring of 2002, university officials provided twelve armed guards and a German shepherd. In the previous spring during a controversy over my opposition to slave reparations paid to living Americans who had never been slaves, the University of California, Berkeley assigned thirty armed guards to maintain security at a speech I gave there.

19 I, myself, filed an amicus brief in behalf of Jeffries, precisely because it was a free speech issue. I also wrote an op-ed column for the
Denver Rocky Mountain News defending Ward Churchill’s free speech rights, which were separate from the question of whether he had the qualifications to be a tenured professor.

27 This is a troubling indicator of the support of faculty abuses by university administrations on more than one count. Sensitivity towards and respect for the “Other” is the most cherished and enforced ethical value on university campuses today. The enforcement of “sensitivity” begins with orientation guidelines for freshmen, stipulating required and forbidden behavior (at the University of Connecticut at Storrs, this includes warnings against “inappropriate smiling”). It continues in the curriculum, with an ever-increasing smorgasbord of “diversity” courses to which faculty resources are devoted. There is also guidance at great length in faculty handbooks, which are issued to all new professors by administrations–about what to say, how to act, and to whom to report violations. Sensitivity, finally, is formally enshrined in official and written and often lengthy university rules, and there is usually a substantial enforcement bureaucracy to back it up (sometimes called “The Office of Human Relations”). “Embrace Diversity!” and “Be Sensitive to Others!” are slogans endlessly repeated on campuses across the country.
28 The incident is discussed in the conclusion to this volume.

31 An email from the panel chair, Professor Dvora Yanow of California State, Hayward, described the proposed session in these words: “The panel, which is co-sponsored by the Conference Group on Theory, Policy, & Society, the Latino Caucus, New Political Science, and the Women’s Caucus, emerged from a question that [Professor] Kathy Ferguson started asking last winter-spring (at ISA and WPSA) to focus on both substantive aspects and strategic/tactical ones: Is there theoretical-definitional grounding to make a claim for the present US administration as fascist, and is it useful, critically, to use that language at this point in time? One of the original intentions was also to create a teaching tool out of this discussion—a handout that presents these questions and offers relevant information to students to think about it for themselves.” The panel included professors from the Universities of Hawaii, California and Colorado, among other schools, and the suggestion that the “questions” should be handed to students—undigested—indicated an intention to disseminate their views of the Bush administrations to undergraduates, again for obvious political reasons. The email was relayed to the author by political scientist John Earl Haynes.

FrontPageMag.com, September 14, 2004; (Two incidents precipitated the change in U.C. policy on academic freedom. The first was the complaint of a student at U.C. Berkeley that her Middle Eastern studies lecturer had told students that the notorious Czarist forgery,
The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, was true. The
Protocols describes a Jewish plot to control the world and was a document used by the Nazis to justify the extermination of Jews. The student’s complaint was dismissed by university authorities. An official of the U.C. academic senate defended the professor’s preposterous and bigoted statement as coming under the protection of “academic freedom.” The second incident involved a required freshman English writing class conducted by instructor Snehal Shingavi discussed below.
68 Roger Kimball, “The Intifada Curriculum,”

He is also head of Students for Justice in Palestine. Shingavi organized an anti-American demonstration on September 11, 2001, after the World Trade Center attacks and has been arrested for leading illegal and violent demonstrations on campus.
69 The author has personally interviewed students about such courses on scores of college campuses.

128 See Regina Austin profile in this volume. In an essay called “The Black Community, Its Lawbreakers, and a Politics of Identification,” published in 1992. Regina Austin compared “street women [who] accept the justifiability of engaging in illegal conduct to rectify past injustices and to earn a living” to political revolutionaries such as Malcolm X. She called for “a legal praxis ... [that] would find its reference points in the ‘folk law’ of those black people who, as a matter of survival, concretely assess what laws must be obeyed and what laws may be justifiably ignored.” See Regina Austin, “The Black Community, Its Lawbreakers, and a Politics of Identification,” 65 S. CAL. L. REV. 1769, 1771-72 (1992). According to Austin the politics of identification promotes an empathy with lawbreakers as rebels against oppression.

Trained historians participating in the forum find Furr alternatively a figure of fun and an impossible irritation.
