Columbia is an excellent institution. I doubt that they would allow an untenured professor who suffers from megalomania to stay on staff. Would you not agree? I would not agree. I've heard too many stories of institutions with lofty reputations allowing this type of thing. Then what you heard are stories, not realities. Why would Columbia put up with all the BS from the likes of such idiots as B. O'Reilly to keep an untenured professor who would appear on the surface at least to be a biased individual and poor educator? It defies all logic and so out of character for you that I am surprised you are making the suggestion. WTF? I can't believe you are asking me this question.......Mr. Sovereignty. When did we start allowing foreign nationals to do videos of our classrooms and then criticize the professor in question? Foreign nationals doing a video about the US isn't an infringement on US sovereignty, nor is it something surprising or offensive IMO. That's because it was the Israelis. Had it been about the Iranians I suspect your response would be a bit different. No need to respond. that video is such an obvious violation of our business. Why? American film crews also go to other countries and make documentaries, news clips and such, sometimes critical ones. They have every right to their opinion, and every right to express it. A violation of our sovereignty would be if Israel somehow tried to make the Americans individuals and institutions involved in this issue comply with some Israeli government order but that isn't what is happening here. No.....what they are doing is stirring up the kettle, producing what is most likely a very biased video in their favor and making the most of it. Doing so at a time when we are struggling with important issues that have us divided. But of course, you don't see that as a problem at all. In fact, without any forethought, you automatically hold the Israelis in a higher position and are willing to defend their interference and influence in the operations of our academic institutions. Did you feel the same way when they stole state secrets re. nukes? You are full of it. Time to take a break from posting. ted
