8:30 am
there are quite a number. the second thing that summers did, was to run afoul of women's studies. there was a private meeting of 12, administrators and faculty, to look at the question of why there weren't more women in the top positions in the physical sciences at harvard, and summers in this private closed meeting suggested there might be three reasons. the third was lowering discrimination against women, which he thought was the least important, which is logical, since harvard is a left wing and faculty are left wing. of course, that's not going to be the number one reason. the first reason he thought was that women, because they are child bearing, often are conflicted about spending 80
8:31 am
hours a week on the job, and he felt that to get to the top of the physical sciences in particular, you need to spend 80 hours a week on the job. and the middle reason was -- and it was put in a tentative way, but based on perfectly accurate scientific data, women have a lower aptitude format mat particulars than men do. there were more men at the higher end of the bell curve, also more end at the lower end and women have, as i think he mentioned, women are at the higher -- more women at the higher end of the bell curve for verbal stability, which you would know, because the most -- probably one of the most patriarchal societies in the world, japan, its greatest -- lady nagasaki wrote the tale of
8:32 am
gengi in the 20th century. we all know of a female poet from 2500 years allege, safo, but we don't know, there was no female euclid. so you don't even have to do the aptitude. well, when summer said this, a professor from m.i.t., a female feminist, slammed her computer shut, went out and told the "boston globe" that she wanted to throw up and larry summers had lowered the self-esteem of little girls all over america. a, would not have heard of it without this woman leaking it, and b, i mean, people in the room, in the television audience, is their self-esteem really lower to know that asians score much higher or higher than caucasians or blacks or hispanics ornate -- or spas
8:33 am
native americans -- or native americans. there are many ways to achieve and it's inspirational to see how people achieve to try to be better. that's basically what it is, unless you're a leftist. anyway, that was the end of larry summers. the point there is that 10% of the faculty can destroy the administrative career of the most powerful, there has never been a more powerful university president in larry summers. university presidents about -- well, first of all, he came out of the clinton cabinet, he fit into the culture, he was liberal, he had been the youngest economics professor, full professor ever appoint at harvard. and he was gone in an instant basically. so any other university president is going to look at that hand say, i better not cross these people.
8:34 am
faculty run the universities and left wing marxoid faculty, faculty that think america is a racist, sexist homophobic imperialist country dominate faculty politics, because other people get out of their way. chapter 2 in this book, one party classroom, is called world churchill you, it's about the university of colorado and warren churchill, people look at -- you know, i am very thankful for the -- toward the church, because -- toward warren churchill, because warren churchill has a talent for getting attention and he has a compulsion to say what many radicals think without sugar coating it in any way, so the victims of 9-11 were little ikeman. why is that? because america is nazi germany.
8:35 am
that's what they think, israel is nazi germany. how can you take the only democracy in the middle east, the only country where gays are well. could, the only country which has equality of women, and call it nazi germany, but progressives, university faculties across the country do just that, an they support a genocidal homophobic, sexist terrorist barbarian organization, hamas, religious fanatics. then jerry falwell, who wouldn't hurt a flee, was a menace, but the leaders of hamas, who believe that god has told them to slaughter all the jews and then the christians and then the gays, and infidels, they're ok. they just are reacting a little badly to the oppression of the israelis and of course, the americans being the.
8:36 am
this is what warren churchill thinks, in that same essay where that appears, he tells you that america's business is exterminate willing minorities. in those words. well, that tells you what he thinks of mexicans who want to come here and they're so stupid, these mexicans, according to warren church him, i won't be misquoted on -- i will be misquoted on this, guarantee t they're so stupid they come to america. warren churchill is certifiable. but it took the university, spent a million dollars probably and they had to organize a panel. first of all, warren churchill was what? he was the chairman of his department. that means his whole department voted to hire him, even though he had no academic credential, he had an experimental college gave him an m.a. in
8:37 am
communication, it was not ethnic studies, he has no ph.d., he was not an indian, and it was an affirmative action post, but he lied to get in. throated him first to be an associate professor, that's to get 10 you're, then to be a full professor, then the whole department had to elect him chairman and he had to have recommendations from the field. so that tells you that the entire ethnic studies field is corrupt, it is an indoctrination in radical, anti-american views, and it thinks that ward churchill is the cat's meow. i did a book called the professors which described all this, and of course, it was -- i was pillared from one end of the country to the other by liberal academics. what the book showed and none of my critics read the book, what
8:38 am
the book showed is how this is possible, that it's not aberrant. this is not an isolated individual and that's why it's so hard to get rid of him, because it's institutionalized. there's a trial now going on of ward churchill. first, the university put together a panel of seven liberal professors. i have know this, because i read the 187 page report. and they found that he invented historical incidents, that he planning plagiarized other people's work, that he pontificated, he's written books actually on legal issues, when he has no legal background. and that he doesn't have the attitude of the scholar. what does that mean. he asked him, how do you do your scholarship. he says, well, you know, i have -- i have my idea, and i go and look for evidence to support it.
8:39 am
that's not a scholarly approach. the scholarly approach is to have an inquiry, not to have a preconceived view. so this is the report, and they recommended that he be terminated, and he was. when he was terminated by of the regents of the university, and now you have to understand, most regents are appointed by the governor. so that means their number one interest is to protect the governor. not the students, not the curriculum, not even the university. but to protect the governor. i have know, if you ask them to do something, that will produce conflict, like, for example, enforcing their own academic standards, as against the radical professors, they will not do it if they think that the radicals can cause trouble for their governor. that is the reality. but in colorado, it's different, because they're elected. so this was a powerful group of
8:40 am
regents looking at the ward churchill we have and with they announced that he was going to be terminated, the chairman of the regents said, this is one of the hardest decisions we've ever had to make. he's a fraud, he's a ladies and gentlemenryist, that tells you what serious trouble the university of colorado is if and every university of this country, which doesn't even have regents that could have that kind of spine. now there are trials. the aclu of course is defending churchill and the claim is that he was singled out because of his remark about the little ikeman. well, it's true. and i'm sure, if churchill sees this broadcast, he will immediately use this in his trial. but why do we even know the name ward churchill. i won't go thank you the whole series of events, but the final
8:41 am
event that outed ward churchill was that after the faculty at hamilton college had tried to put a convicted terrorist, she was caught with 700 or 640 pounds of tnt, susan rosenberg, they tried to put her on the faculty, but a student, who knew of the people -- she had been involved in a weather underground attack that killed three police officers, so one of the students at hamilton knew that he was put on the o'riley factor or hannity, right after that they invited ward churchill to speak and it happens, and of course, because everybody was looking at the next move, somebody came up with this article, and there was another student at this college, his father, who was killed in 9-11. that is the only reason that
8:42 am
ward churchill ever came to anybody's attention. if that hadn't happened, he'd be going on, he had $120,000 a year job, you should have had all know, three hours a week was his workload. three hours a week workload. $120,000, eight months a year, that's four months paid vacation, and the paid vacations come at family times. this is an incredibly privileged elite. the academic elite. which is one reason they're so arrogant. nobody would have paid any attention, but the minute that hamilton college incident occurred got attention, the governor of colorado called for ward churchill to be fired. now i defended ward churchill. why? because we live in america and as a conservative,ism a true liberal. liberals are leftists, they are inside -- not all of them, but
8:43 am
an awful large number of them are totalitarian, screaming to get out. that is what a liberal is in america. believe in two sides to a question. i'd like to see books, two readings instead of one. this is my arch, rabid right wing thought controller, in the twisted or just orwellan minds of the university professor. so now you have a trial, and you have a whole department of ward church hi. even if ward churchill is terminated finally, he's left behind a department, in fact, an entire field of ward churchills, the ethnic studies field. but if you were a college administrator and you see some horrendous atrocity, like a professor in class teaching students that the holocaust
8:44 am
didn't exist, you're not going to go -- you're not going to try to fire him, you're going to cost the university millions of more dollars. you're going to try to pretend it's knots happening and keep it from the public, because of course the one thing that a university administrator cannot abide is embarrassment. so the -- if you want to reform universities, you have to figure out ways to embarrass them, and i thanked sean hannity and glen o'beck for big this. they perform an enormous public function. it's the only thing that is marginally keeping universities honest. so we found 150 courses like this. at 12 major universities. well, there are 4,000 universities, and if you do the arithmetic, that's maximum of
8:45 am
40,000 courses. and a minimum of probably 10,000. so well, i'd say it's 20,000. well, how many millions of students go through this. so people often ask me, well, americans are individualists, and you know, you're assuming that they're all indoctrinated. no, i'm not. only 2% or 3% of them are indoctrinated in rabid, anti-american feuds. that's a lot of people. and then, and this is a really, you know, things get worse and worse, but who do you think runs the education school? the most radical, the most communist, and i use that word advisedly, since both my parents were communists, and the people, institutions in america are the education schools in our universities.
8:46 am
the editor of the series of teacher guides at columbia teachers college and its star graduate, now the distinguished professor of early childhood education, that the university of-illinois is william airs, i knew william airs when i was on the left. a more on. -- a moron. guilty as hell, free as a bird, america is a great country. that's a moral defective right there. william airs, with he was elected vice-president of sds, his -- i guess you all it, his inauguration speech was, i haven't read a book in a year. this is a college student. now, i was a marxist at the time, i read a lot of books. you know, there are many other things you can do in life, but if you're a student, and if
8:47 am
you're proposing to change the world, you'd better know something. so bill ayers was -- well, i don't want to go into -- i want to avoid -- i don't want to get too personal with william airs, but this is the columbia college guru. social justice education, which is marxist education, communist, whatever you want to call it, it's certainly not liberal, is the doctrine of the moment. in education school. and students, i just came back from two universities, tufts and george washington, and they told me the problem doesn't start here, the problem is in the k-12 schools. they are getting hectored by teachers in the k-12 schools when the kids are much more defenseless, where it's much
8:48 am
more excusable on the political agendas of the radical left and so i leave you with this. they've failed in six years to persuade the conservative movement. i'm always -- when i'm written up by the -- by the american federal, with they foam at the mouth with me, i have whole websites devoted to attacking me, i'm always the head of a right wing plot. you will not -- this is not on the radar screen of the conservative movement or the republican party. the academic bill of rights is still just david horowitz running around the country, trying to get universities to adopt it. that's the reality now. some day, maybe the conservative movement will wake up, and discover that if we have one party classrooms, we're going to
8:49 am
have a one-party country and that cannot be good. thank you. [applause] >> i'm happy to answer questions if anybody has any. >> david, great speech. thank you for being so animated about these subjects. the private university system, in my world, is constructed materially differently from the public university system. we know of some pension funds and some endowment funds at private universities, which are run differently. up not made a distinction between public and privates and i was surprised at duke and usc and miami of ohio. >> terrible year. >> there must be reason for that. >> we did a chapter, a chapter
8:50 am
in one-party classroom, is about duke university. ists called white devils, because first, because the duke basketball team of course is the blue devils. and second, because there was a university lynching of three students t a couple years ago, three lacrosse students were at a party where there was a deranged pathological liar and criminal prostitute, drug addicted, who made up a story that she had been raped, and accused them of raping her. not a shred of evidence existed. yet, if a country -- in a country which is supposed to honor the principle of innocent until proved guilty, these three students were immediately declared gentlelady by 88
8:51 am
members of the faculty. the coach was forced to resign, and the lacrosse season was ended, the three students were effectively expelled, one of them had already graduated, and for a year, the nation's media destroyed these people's lives. with no evidence whatsoever. none. the reason that they could be so attacked was because they were white, because they were male, because they were middle class, and because they were jocks. the 88 professors compared them to having a slave owner mentality, and tied every white student, as they said, in the ad, it said, we have to go to class with racists every day aft duke, which is a lie. and tied every white student to the mentality of -- or what they thought was the mentality of slave owners 100 years ago, the link being what?
8:52 am
their white skin. so duke has 88 racist faculty members. that's basically what that tells you, who have no regard for the american system of jurisprudence or justice, justice system. and the worst of them, the biggest racist there, houston baker, is a black professor, carl holloway is another one, houston baker even sent an e-mail to the mother of one of these students after he was exonerated, attacking her as the mother of a farm animal. houston baker was making undoubtedly -- well, i know he was making six figure income, probably $200,000, $300,000, went on to a better job at vanderbilt as a private university, the board of regents is controlled by conservatives. the conservative regents at duke protected, protected the accuser and protected the lynching.
8:53 am
they supported it. why? because of duke's good name. you get rid of the white racist. there's -- conservatives have efor must leverage over these universities, because they are the biggest contributors, because there are whole legislatures, which are run by republicans. but that's what i said earlier. there is no academic reform movement, there are few isolated groups. most of which take a distance from me, because i've been so attacked. but you know, they're good people, and i'm sorry, we can't mention them now since i just said they take a distance from me, but they do. but it's a handful of 501c3's. i wish the way the republican party would wake up. there's no difference in the private institute.
8:54 am
right now at the university of southern california, a genocide am staple of the profit mohammed or allegedly of the prophet calling on muslims to murder jews and exterminate them as a condition of their redemption is on the university of southern california web site. put up there by the muslim students association, which is part of the muslim brotherhood network and supporters of jihad. so i don't look to private schools. of the one thing since i've been so negative on universities, i had a very -- i had two really good visits, of course, i was there only a day, went to kenya, which is a liberal college and the other to reid, which boasts that 85% of its students are leftists. that's what i said. they're both in my view, very good schools, because tier very traditional, and when i discovered, i mean, by just
8:55 am
asking questions, with you're in a literature course, do they teach you have literature or do they teach you about imperialism and racism an sexism and getting the answer they teach us, the literature. i then asked, do you have a women's studies department here? no. do you have a black studies department here? no. it's a very traditional curriculum, saying reid, when i talked to the reid students, we discussed academic freedom issuers an they didn't insert horowitz or a right wing. and so i took that as a good sign as well. they don't have those departments. :
8:56 am
who was in revolt against the revolutions of liberty in the 18th-century. ayars are regarded as they are still pushing castro totalitarianism. you can see it in the t-shirts. he is an icon -- this is a mass murderer who executed 14 year-old. is it is the coward it is what he was an as for ballast. retarded -- i was a new lift test, we don't think that much of maoism and i didn't think that much of it were oral
8:57 am
because of the university of texas the entire board of trustees appointed by two republican governors, bush and perry, a red state. you could take a course in the world scene through j guevara's eyes. that is the course, you read three works by him and the professor introduces from rating support of material because of a forest to sides, that is so antiquated there should be to use of some like jacob rivera or anybody. any left is so i am sorry to say there is no different. and, of course, right now at chatman university which is a private school at orange county and a good school, is trying to
8:58 am
appoint john ehud who was an adviser to bush in the justice department to the faculty and the same people who attacked me but never called for the firing of any of leftist protestor of the barring of a leftist and, in fact, i defended the a flaming leftist when he was appointed into the new law school at uc irvine because i don't thank you cannot hire somebody for their politics. the same leftists are trying to get john atmar in from being a faculty member and i don't see the droves of liberals coming to support him the way i did say many conservative support the others. >> what about the wealthy alumni that donate money to the university is that they went to? don't have any influence on his
8:59 am
policies? >> of course, they couldn't, but there were run-in's with an incredible firestorm if they do. first of all, let me same the primary motivation of most donors, there are too. if you can find the 50-yard line in the name on the building. and these are very prestigious institutions with long histories, there are hundreds of years old. and so with the dollar is looking for -- the donor is looking for, forgive me, the illusion because that is all it is, of a taste of immortality by being associated with the school. so then they -- they all want to make trouble, that is the number one. and the second
