Young McCarthyites of Texas
Professor Watch List Young Conservatives of Texas - University of Texas Chapter
The Professor Watch List is designed to be a resource to the student body of the University of Texas. This report
includes professors who push an ideological viewpoint on their students through oftentimes subtle but sometimes
abrasive methods of indoctrination.

This List does not target professors for their opinions in or out of the classroom, and professors are not judged by
their politics alone. They are not noted for presenting their opinion. What is considered is whether the professor
respects and strives for intellectual honesty in his or her classroom through presenting a fair and balanced
delivery of information that is not crafted to produce a certain mindset within the receiving student. Classroom
presentation, instructor attitude and reading material are among applicable measurements of this standard.

3. What, exactly, is the point?
I think every college student can name a few professors they don't like for one reason or another. I never thought of making a list of "bad" professors when I was in school, even a list of those who I disagreed with, be it for their political views, literary views, homework assigning propensity or whatever else. You go to college to learn and be exposed to new ideas. As my film professor would say, if you aren't mature enough to handle some offensive material, you don't belong here, get out now.

4. Article from The Daily Texan
Edited on Tue Nov-25-03 10:44 PM by Beacho
Have a read of this article and take special note of the last paragraph.

It would seem these losers have a lot less juice than the press they've been getting would lead one to believe.

5. For further Reading
This group seems to be the run o' the mill, mouth breathing duche bags you see hanging out at neocon rallies or 'freeps'

"We strongly urge the Young Conservatives of Texas to cease posting or handing out "wanted" posters with Umer Zaman's picture, and condemn any future attempts to do so.

Creating such posters unfairly and irresponsibly suggests Zaman is wanted by a law enforcement organization.

No information suggests Umer Zaman is a terrorist. Zaman was never connected to a terrorist organization or accused of aiding any sort of terrorist plot.

Zaman is an international student from Pakistan who disappeared after UT officials confronted him with charges of transcript fraud. Linking Zaman to terrorism represents an overt attempt to villainize him for his background.

The distribution of flyers only creates an atmosphere of fear and paranoia. Casting Zaman as some sort of dangerous figure is a heinous example of racial profiling at its worst."
