Another Crazy U of Wisconsin Professor

Despite the presence of the esteemed Professor Althouse, it appears the University of Wisconsin employs very ignorant professors and lecturers. It all started with Kevin Barrett, an islamic studies lecturer at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Barrett is what’s known as a ‘truther’ or someone who believes the the US Government was behind the events of 9/11, and he’ s a particularly violent one at that, at times calling for the death of those who argue against him, or portray events he’s at in an unfavorable light. And now it’s happening again with Professor emeritus at University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh, Bill Willers, who first fails to comprehend Prof. Althouse’s original post, and then assails her for not believing in the conspiracy delusions shared by Barrett and one must assume, Prof. Willers himself. This is the kind of critical thinking and reading failure I would be ashamed of seeing in a teenager. Prof. Althouse rightly laughs at the ignorant man, and takes him to task, as they say. Hopefully Prof Willers will apologize and take the time to do a little more research into his crazy beliefs, rather than call for Prof. Althouse’s death in the way Barrett does to his enemies.
