Phyllis Schlafly Alert! Attempts to blame VT massacre on Liberals and messes it up!
"Cho was an English department major and senior. As a frequent lecturer on college campuses, I have discovered that the English departments are often the weirdest and/or the most left-wing."

Schlafly mocks various classes offered by the Virginia Tech English Department in which students are assigned books “about an urban prostitute who finally kills herself and (one) about a violent man who kills his girlfriend,” while taking the opportunity to attack several professors by name:

Or maybe Cho preferred the undiluted Marxism espoused by English instructor Allen Brizee, who wrote: "Everyday, the capitalist system exploits millions of people. ... Our role in the capitalist system makes us guilty of oppression!"

Brizee did indeed write that as part of an anti-capitalist rant… which he then explained thusly:

Whew, quite a mouthful! … (W)hen studying Marxist literary criticism, we must place ourselves in the mindset of the revolutionaries so that we can effectively examine text as they would. Marxism has come a long way since the 1800s, and Marxist critics today certainly take a less dogmatic approach to literature. But at the same time, we cannot disregard the original dogma that sparked the social movement that changed our world.

Perhaps, in the future, Schlafly can learn to scroll down the web page in order to avoid presenting quotes ridiculously out of context.

6. The only reason I even know this hag is still alive is because I haven't pissed on her grave yet.

14. Excellent idea
I will add her to the growing list of graves I must piss on. I'm seriously going to need to drink a lot of beer before heading out on this expedition as the list grows almost daily. I'm also going to have to find a designated driver because RW nut jobs aren't nice enough to congregate in the same cemetary.

7. Would it be better . . .
Perhaps the English Department should have assigned reading of a book in which a man, accosted by hostile neighbors who want to gang rape his visitors, offers to turn his daughters over to the mob instead. Now there's some family values fer ya!

8. Don't You Wish Schaffley Would Practice What She Preached?
She had a huge hand in stopping the Equal rights amendment for women...Don't you wish she would practice what she preached and play the submissive female and stay home and shut her fricking mouth?

13. Lovely! I was getting tired of mocking Ann Coulter. Someone new to mock.
Right. English majors are generally consumed with hate, resentment and bitterness.

She is right on one point. The English department was the weirdest and the most left-wing department. That was the attraction.
