Univ. of Wisconsin head spanks 9/11 conspiracy prof

Luckily Kevin Barrett is a part-time professor at a big state college, the University of Wisconsin-Madison, that has a psychiatry department. This allows him the affordable opportunity to seek the help he so desperately needs.

This fall Barrett will be teaching a course, Islam: Religion and Culture at UW Madison. With this captive audience, Barrett promises to introduce a conspiracy theory that the US Government, not al-Qaeda, was behind the 9/11 attacks.

After an understandable uproar broke out over Barrett and his dubious opinions, University of Wisconsin Provost Patrick Farrell said Barrett can teach his course--paranoid fantasies included--this fall, citing academic freedom concerns.

However, the AP reports that Farrell, in a letter written last month, did not give Barrett a "Get of the mental asylum free card."

The provost told Barrett that the moonbat can't associate himself with the University of Wisconsin system when he emits his views. Or, Farrell will reconsider allowing Barrett to teach his course this fall.

Keep talking, Professor Barrett, keep talking.....
