Wis. lawmaker wants lecturer fired for 9-11 conspiracy views

"...During his appearance Wednesday night on Jessica McBride's show on WTMJ, Barrett disputed most of the widely accepted information about the attacks that brought down the World Trade Center in New York City when airliners were flown into the twin towers...

...On Thursday, state Rep. Stephen Nass, R-Whitewater, issued a statement demanding Barrett be fired immediately, calling him an embarrassment and accusing him of spewing "garbage."

"Mr. Barrett is free to stand on the street corner and advocate his nutty left-wing views. However, the taxpayers and tuition-paying families shouldn't pay this man one cent to perform his voodoo in a UW classroom," Nass' statement read.

Farrell said UW officials would give Barrett's course plans a close review..."

1. Second Teacher in 2 Months.

This marks the second time in as many months that an academic has come under fire for opinions expressed outside of the classroom regarding the events of 9/11.

Last month Tom Mustric, a substitute teacher in Ohio was on the hot plate for his opinions expressed OUTSIDE OF A CLASSROOM SETTING. A complaint was made trying to conflate his opinion with his teaching content.

It looks like the same thing is happening here.

Here is Rep. Nass’ contact page.

NBC covered the Tom Mustric story, here's a video:

Happy Fourth of July.

Now shut the fuck up.

4. That's what they get for hating our freedoms.

If those educators had a lick of sense, they'd be supporting the RIGHT viewpoint and they wouldn't be expelled. It's like those whiny people that complain about Daily Kos not allowing 911 skeptics. If people would just "get with the program", they wouldn't be banished. The OCT'ers here are a good example of being on the "right" side.

"You're either with us, or you won't be here. Guantanamo maybe, or Romania."

3. Another version of report.

Another version of the report:

"Sept. 11 claim stirs UW probe"
http://www.jsonline.com/story/index.aspx?id=445190

Instructor says U.S. planned the attacks to provoke war

"...Nass released a statement calling on Chancellor John Wiley to fire Barrett immediately.

"The fact that Mr. Barrett uses his position at UW-Madison to add credibility to his outlandish claims is an unacceptable embarrassment to the people of Wisconsin and the UW System," Nass said. "Chancellor Wiley must act immediately to end any professional relationship between Barrett and the UW. He needs to be fired."

U.S. Rep. Mark Green (R-Wis.), who is running for governor, released a statement that said: "Not a dime of either taxpayer or tuition dollars should be going to Kevin Barrett so he can tell students that September 11 was a creation of the government, and that the most murdering terrorist organization in the world is a myth created by the CIA."

But not everyone was outraged..."
