So that explains it

h/t to jhm

In a fun tête-à-tête between David Horowitz and Michael Bérubé, we find this little nugget:

Bérubé: For this and other things, in cases where students grieve against professors for reasons that have nothing to do with politics— they have to do with sex harassment, a hostile dissertation director— there should be an ombudsperson. No question about that. My questions are two, more comments really than questions. Let me swallow my bread.
[a pause while Mr. Bérubé swallows his bread]
Student grievance is not the same thing as the firing of professors. So that analogy in the essay, I just don't buy it on its face. Some of the student grievances are justified because I've been reading the Students for Academic Freedom's Web site and some of them sound to me justified. Others are out of their birds ...

[Mr. Horowitz founded Students for Academic Freedom, a watchdog group whose Web site includes a forum encouraging college students to document when professors inject their politics into the classroom.]

Horowitz: I agree.

Bérubé: Complaining about the Iraqi flag; that's not a legitimate complaint.

[On the site, one anonymous student once complained about a professor who "talked about flags as symbols of states and argued that new Iraqi flag was not a result of a transparent and fair process. Argued as fact that new flag had similar colors to Israeli flag and that this could be problematic. Claimed as fact that other Arab societies had red, green and black in their flags. Very biased. Had no visual proof of this."]

Horowitz: If I had more money, I'd hire somebody to clean that up.

So, the reason The Professors is so riddled with errors, that his website is peppered with phantom "student indoctrination incidents," is that, despite all that Scaife-Mellon-Olin money, he can't afford to hire a fact-checker?
