This is the perfect contest for us Berkeley students! If one of us doesn’t win this, then we can all acknowledge that our campus has finally left the 60’s behind… Are our leftists only run-of-the-mill? Now’s the chance to find out:

Have you had to endure anti-American propaganda in place of a college lecture? Now you can turn your professor’s left-wing pontificating into cold, hard cash!

Just submit an essay, in 500 words or less, describing the professor you have had who most resembles Ward Churchill. This professor could have called capitalists “little Eichmanns,” like Churchill himself. He could have demonized perfidious, bloodthirsty Jews in Israel, like Juan Cole. He could have prayed for Americans to lose the war in Iraq, like Nicholas DeGenova or Robert Jensen. The professor could even have held an alternative religion exorcism to cleanse the campus of the demons of conservatism, like Oneida Meranto (a major fan of Che Guevara, who eliminated his enemies in another manner). Or she could have spent hours of class time prattling about off-topic political issues, then force students to say Saddam Hussein had no Weapons of Mass Destruction on a midterm, like UNC-Chapel Hill’s own Anthropology 10 professor Alison Greene.

Whoever the nominee, please indicate the subject of the course and explain why you have chosen this individual and why he or she deserves the coveted FrontPage Magazine Churchill Twin Award.

E-mail your submissions to: Ben@CSPC.org. The winner will receive $500. (It’s the capitalist way!) The winning essay and honorable mentions will also be posted on FrontPageMag.com. Get your essays in now! The deadline to win is April 23, 2005.

Feel free to share your experiences in the comments. This should be fun.
