Letter: UNC shouldn’t teach anti-American views

TO THE EDITOR:

After all the horrors our beloved University has gone through for transgressions, real and imagined, within the athletic department, I sit here now open-mouthed in disbelief as I watch a major news organization expose that at the expense of North Carolina taxpayers, UNC is teaching a literature “course” that claims diverse views and perspectives from that awful day, 9/11/01.

Nothing wrong in and of itself in that, except that this course syllabus proves that an aggrieved, post-colonial professor is teaching a course whose only diversity would be limited to differences among various jihad tribes.

No perspectives of Americans killed or their families left grieving; just odes of sympathy to the terrorist.

When is UNC going to quit doing things that place us squarely in the public view in such a way as to create deserved ridicule and paint our great University as a radical, hate-America-always place of looney-dom?
