A New Low For The Academy (And That's Saying Something)
Over at Rants and Refinements, longtime friend of this blog Tim "The Bad" highlights an almost unbelievable example of the depths to which some segments of our academic "elite" have sunk:
This is Julio César Pino. He is on the Ohio State payroll as a professor of Latin American History at Kent State. His current courses include “Comparative Latin American Revolutions”, “Afro-Latin America” and “History of Women in Latin America”. In 1997 he published “Family and Favela: the Reproduction of Poverty in Rio de Janeiro” (Greenwood Press). He is the author of numerous articles in Latin American Research Review, Journal of Urban History, Latin American Perspectives and other journals. Dr. Pino is listed in Who’s Who in American Education and Who’s Who in America.Wow, sounds like a pretty bright guy. The Ohio taxpayers have a seriously talented man teaching their students. That’s true, if you consider a pro-jihad muslim openly indoctrinating in our State-funded classrooms. He’s pretty difficult to get hold of since he only has office hours two days per week, taking the lead from Congressional democrats I imagine. So, when he’s busy not coming in to the office, he’s writing this little vile piece of filth online: Global War.
Yes, this is a pro-jihad site that openly professes support for the Taliban and Osama bin-Laden. When I say “openly”, I mean it in the strictest of contexts. From his site:
“We are a jihadist news service, and provide battle dispatches, training manuals, and jihad videos to our brothers worldwide.”
You might be inclined to ask yourself, “Self, isn’t that providing aid to the enemy?”
A very good question indeed. A lot of additional very good questions need to be put to the administration of Kent State University.

Many thanks for the hat-tip, Jeff. It is my displeasure to report that all my requests for information and/or action to Kent State administration as well as Ohio State Senators and United States Senators from Ohio have gone unanswered.

Please take a moment to visit the Rants blog. There is information about local government you can write to, as well as major contributors to the college, the state Board of Regents, and so on.
Many people have sent death threats. Let's keep it sane. Just take the time to send them a note explaining that this is not someone we want educating our children.
