Yes, Bertrand Russell was offered a teaching appointment at City College, New York in the late 1930s when he moved over here to teach with 2nd wife. That appointment was revoked following the fury of the current bigots of all denominations then, who in their hysterics forced a judicial decision in 1940 stating that he was morally unfit to teach at the College on the grounds that his works were:
"lecherous, libidinous, lustful, venerous, erotomaniac, aphrodisiac, irrelevant, narrow-minded, untruthful, and bereft of moral fiber".
Nine years later, in 1949, he was awarded the Order of Merit. Then received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1950, and is the only philosopher to have received both the Order of Merit and the Nobel Prize. Your god works in mysterious ways apparently, it is he who comes out smelling like the rose , old horned thorny one. |
