Conservative Professor’s Devastating Reply to Liberal Hate Letter




Mike Adams, a criminology professor at the University of North Carolina Wilmington, received a note from a student saying that he is “the biggest embarrassment to higher education in America.”

The College Fix Editor Nathan Harden was so impressed with the professor’s reply that he shared it:


Dear Edward:

I want to take the time to thank you for writing and telling me that I should be fired from my position as a tenured professor because I am “the biggest embarrassment to higher education in America.” I also want to thank you for responding when I asked you exactly how you arrived at that conclusion. Your response, “because you insist that marriage requires one man and one woman,” was both helpful and concise.

While I respect your right to conclude that I am the biggest embarrassment to higher education in America, I think you’re wrong. In fact, I don’t even think I’m the biggest embarrassment to higher education in the state of North Carolina. But since you’re a liberal and you support “choice” – provided we’re talking about dismembering children and not school vouchers for those who weren’t dismembered – I want to give you some options. In fact, I’m going to describe the antics of ten professors, official campus groups, and invited campus speakers in North Carolina and let you decide which constitutes the biggest embarrassment to higher education.

The right wing goes on about the abortion process and that is nothing more than
red herring nonsense. The professor is one of those conservative dinosaurs who
have seen their numbers dwindling in a new and progressive society. Forget all
the religious stuff its in the realm of faith and belief. What does the current law
state in a secular society? There are restrictions but abortion is legal and a right
in our democratic society. If a woman was to lose control of her body to a rapist
or a sexual pervert there would be hell to pay. However when a group of religiously
motivated zealots attempt to enact laws to restrict her freedom or the State itself
decides to restrict the freedom of women we set out on a course to justify it.
We have been there for decades the issue has been discussed and its time to
move on.

There was no religious references in that letter in any way, that is entirely your ranting and raving... But that is an aside; lemme ask you - was your definition of a Liberal bastion of progressiveness enriched by the university hiring a porn star to lecture on safe sodomy methodology?... Was the sale of autographed butt plugs to students in line with you and how a progressive society be organized?

I've already had a good chuckle from you post on this and look forward to much heartier laughter upon review your upcoming response

Why is prostitution illegal again? Why are so many liberals and progressives at odds with the porn industry? A woman's body is her own after all... isn't it?

Nobody owns their body, they couldn't toss you in the clink if it was yours. The only thing you own are your thoughts.

fetuses are not persons nor children. "pro-lifers" forget that 20-30% of pregnancies end in miscarriages and zygotes sometimes failed to implant in the uterus

liberals and progressives are at odds with them? So, a liberal, a progressive, wrote this piece? Because it seemed pretty cut and dry that all these things where 'feminists' were celebrating prostitution, orgasms, pornography, were 'embarassing'.

I also believe that marriage is between a man and a woman, prefarable both heterosexual. Of course this can be faked or supressed for various social or economic reasons. I was once the victim of a repressed homosexual who thought he had to have a wife to prove his manhood (manhood?) My marriage turned into absolute hell, I barely made out of it alive.
His second wife had children with him, his third did not but is trying to get out...

The repetitiveness of talking about the Gays and the Bi Gays and as to whether they meet or don't meet the criteria of someone's spiritual beliefs is getting to be boring.


I don't personally know of anyone who is openly Gay or Bi sexual but I have to figure that one may not have just decided they would be that way (I'm not including cross dressers here) so I'm not one to diss them.

As long as they are doing their thing as consenting adults, I don't care and I don't know why the religious folks just won't concentrate on better ways to help out the world...........

All that is proven by this thread is that wing-nuts abound both right and left.

Strikes me as the student, Edward.. seemed incapable of forming a reasoned, comprehensive argument, simply spewing a tirade of vindictiveness and sophistry.

I'm not sure a measured, well developed and supported case would mean anything to this student... someone nurtured by modern culture into blind prejudice and a facile notion of 'freedom' as meaning unlimited gratification.. without purpose, responsibility or structure.

Such is the state of the brave new world of post-structural education.

I meant to say pregnacies

yeah I think it's about 50% of marriages end in miscarriages.

Yeah, I'd agree with that. His first mistake was attacking the speaker instead of the point. Left himself wide open there.
