Talk:The Professors: The 101 Most Dangerous Academics in America

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Responses from professors

I'm not sure how many to include. I think all 100 would be clearly too long, though of course many will not comment. I think the 7 listed so far are a decent sampling - 3 Becker or linked to by him, 4 from a Socialist Worker article. A representative set of issues or reactions is raised; pride to be included, treat it as a joke versus treat it seriously, Horowitz' motives political or financial, relation to academic freedom, context of the war on terrorism, the means of distortion.

I don't think the response section should be longer than the section describing the actual subject of the book. Perhaps a few should be taken off. But I think a better solution would be to expand the first section. Someone more knowledgeable than myself will have to complete that task.--GenkiDama 19:08, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

I don't know if the original article intended to list all of the academics targeted by this nutjob in this book, but the article lists a fair number now. I consider it wildly irresponsible to publish what appears as a black list in Wikipedia, since this forum serves as a springboard to further the attacks. Every professor who has not chosen to respond to the charges in this forum should not be listed. --Nickmalik 12:59, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
