UCLAProfs.com Website Exposes UCLA’s Most Radical Professors
January 10, 2006, Culver City, California – The Bruin Alumni Association announced today the launch of UCLAProfs.com, a professor profile website which already features over thirty long-form examinations of UCLA’s most radical professors, including:
- “Philosophy of Education” professor Douglas Kellner, who speaks seriously of a “Bush Reich” and Bush Family/Nazi connections.
- Preeminent Marxist “critical pedagogy” theorist Peter McLaren, who proudly instructs future Education Ph.D.’s in “the intrinsically exploitative nature of capitalist society.”
- Former labor union attorney turned academic Kent Wong, who denounces the Republican Party’s “pro-corporate and anti-worker agenda” and claims that President Bush benefited from affirmative action “for the wealthy white elite.”
- The anti-Israel, anti-Zionist, and anti-Semitic troika of Gabriel Piterberg, Sondra Hale and (the late Edward Said’s nephew) Saree Makdisi.
- And recently “resigned” Assistant Vice Provost Adolfo Bermeo, whose relationship with a young female student didn’t “miss statutory rape by much” (according to Chancellor Albert Carnesale). Bermeo’s own son Robert served a lengthy prison term for stealing over $1 million in valuable items while an employee of the UCLA Library’s Special Collections department.
As the website expands, UCLAProfs will present bi-monthly updates to a “Dirty Thirty” ranking of extremist UCLA academics. The professor who finishes the year with the most weeks at the top spot (currently occupied by Peter McLaren) will win an “Indoctrinator of the Year” prize and will be invited to a special award ceremony.
Bruin Alumni Association President Andrew Jones stated, “UCLAProfs has uncovered a widespread problem of indoctrination and one-sided teaching. We call on outgoing UCLA Chancellor Albert Carnesale to dedicate his last year to addressing this critical problem.” |
