"One Man's Terrorist Is Another Man's Freedom Fighter"

11/08/04

Frontpagemag.com

as it happens just two days after the third anniversary of 9/11 -- FrontPage magazine published student Brett Mock’s account of a class he took in “Peace Studies” at Ball State University in Indiana. The class was billed as a course in the causes of war and peace (“the study of methods of achieving peace within communities and among nations; history of peace movement and the causes of conflict; and analysis of principles to resolve conflict using case studies”).

Enrolling in the course, Mock discovered, to his dismay, that far from being an academic examination of these issues, the class was a recruitment and training course in leftwing politics and anti-American attitudes. Its lectures and texts without exception guided him and his classmates to views of America as an enemy of global peace, and to a sympathetic understanding of the terrorists who have attacked us. Among the “methods of achieving peace” recommended by the course was a menu of radical organizations that students were encouraged to join, including PeaceWorkers, which is part of a coalition that includes the pro-terrorist Muslim Students Association and the Young Communist League. Students who joined the lobby to oppose America’s war to topple the Iraq dictatorship were given academic credit; those who supported their country were not.

To add insult to these injuries, moreover, the head of the Peace Studies program at Ball State and Brett Mock’s teacher, Professor Gregory Wolfe was academically incompetent to teach the subject, with its broad-ranging forays into all of human history, geopolitics and global economics. Gregory Wolfe is a professor in the Music Department at Ball State whose expertise is the saxophone.
