Update on Prof. John Daly

John Daly will now be investigated by the WCCC. According to several sources, the professor who sent that hostile email to a student regarding a visit from iraq campaign veteran, COL ritter, will be investigated by the college. Note: I do think that everyone has a right to express their own views given by the 1st amendment. There are however 2 problems with what Daly wrote in his email in my eyes. The first is that this is a professor of english at this school. He is not being paid to encourage or denigrate (that means insult kent, i'll try to keep from using too big words for ya) any view point. He is simply being paid to teach. The message that the student wanted passed was not to encourage people but simply to state that he was coming. Daly went well past the position that he holds and he needs to be held accountable for oversteping his bounds. Second problem with the email is that the professor could be tried for sedition. From webster's dictionary: the crime of creating a revolt, disturbance, or violence against lawful civil authority with the intent to cause its overthrow or destruction. CRIME folks. Advocating that troops (aka: me) shoot their officers is a crime. Now i know that this man will not be arrested for it but damnit, it is a crime so to excuse him is to further break the law and the democratic laws of this country. That is why i am very happy to see the university probing this professor.
