The Global Magazine Of Liberally Applied Critical Examination
If you have not heard, Texas Tech University has taken on Ex-Bush Attorney General Alberto "I Don't Recall" Gonzalez. According to thinkprogress.org:
Gonzales will be a visiting professor leading a course on “contemporary issues in the executive branch” and focusing on “recruiting and retaining first generation and under-represented students.”
Students and angry alumni quickly spoke out, starting Facebook groups and writing scathing editorials. Many of the Texas Tech faculty, however, remained silent.
Not any longer. Approximately 45 Texas Tech faculty members have signed onto a petition calling Gonzales’ hiring “objectionable.” They charge that Gonzales is nothing more than a “celebrity hire” who won’t be worth his $100,000 salary.
Alberto Gonzalez claims that his course will, among other things, highlight the "accomplishes of the Bush Administration".
I guess that means that classes will be short.
Contemporary issues in the executive branch, such as "how to commit war crimes" and "wiping your ass with the Constitution 101" will be covered in the course, unless Alberto Gonzalez forgets them or pleads the fifth.
And, "under - represented students" must be code language for "We are going to need more batshit neo-conservatives"
We're gonna need a bigger boat. That way, we can set them all adrift together.
The protest by Students and Faculty has picked up a lot of steam. You can support their boycott of Alberto Gonzalez by joining the facebook group here.
Despite the outrage coming from Texas Tech Students and Faculty, Texas Tech chancellor Kent Hance is standing by his hiring of Gonzalez, who he says is a 'close friend' of his.
Why anyone would send their kid to a school for thousands of dollars so they can learn re-writing the rule of law from one of the worst liars and crappiest lawyers ever is beyond me. You'd be better off getting your law degree from Phoenix University online.
But, there is a way to solve this problem. We can save the fragile little minds of a whole class of law students by doing something today.
Investigate and Prosecute Bush/Cheney/Gonzalez et all for War Crimes.
War Criminals don't take Sunday's off, and neither should we.
You can find contact information for AG Eric Holder and President Obama beneath the fold. Send them an E-Mail this Sunday and demand a strong, independent Special Prosecutor who will go all the way in the fight to clear America's name and prosecute the crimes against humanity perpetrated by the Bush/Cheney Regime.
And, of course, YELL LOUDER!
Just don't write the e-mail to AG Holder in all CAPS.
