Jihad Jane teaches Political Science, Pol 495, that is. Professor Jane T. Christensen of North Carolina Wesleyan College, drags the term science to
new lows in her class:
(POL 495) 911 The Road to Tyranny.
In this class you get to learn all about how the break down of the American upper educational system. No, actually, the professor will tell you that
9/11 was a Bush conspiracy, citing such stellar sources of information such as William Cooper, Alex Jones, and Jeff Rense.
The course description and suggested reading list would make many members of ATS proud, but will cause everyone else cringe and shudder at the total
lack of objectivity and obvious extreme left wing bias.

The events of September 11, 2001, indisputably changed the course of American politics and history. This course is offered so students may examine
various events and policies leading to 911. In particular, this course will focus largely on the specific destruction in lower Manhattan and the
Pentagon. We will examine the official story and analyze it critically. We will consider alternative explanations of what occurrred as well. 911 was
a catalyst for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq as well as the attack on civil liberties in the United States. We will examine each of these with a
critical eye. The goal of this course is to arrive at a solid understanding of how 911 has shaped our political future and to promote critical
analysis by students of this catastrophic event and its aftermath.
This course is outside the scope of traditional "political science" in many ways. First it is "unscientific" in that it relies much on eyewitness
accounts and speculation. Secondly, there is not yet a solid literature on the September 11 "attacks" or on the war on terrorism. This literature
is emerging, particularly on the latter. Thirdly, this course will rely somewhat extensively on alternative news media accounts and a variety of
films and videos in lieu of literature.

Note the emphasis on the fact that this class is "unscientific." At least she is honest about that. I personally think that any college professor
that uses Jeff Rense and Alex Jones as source material is highly suspect as to the quality of her scholarship.
If, by any chance you think that she will treat the material from those sources with a healthy dose of skepticism, I have to direct you to
her personal web site, with it's picture of her in black garb, and a ski mask while holding an M-16.
Other links on her page include
anti-Semitic rants and links to al jazera, and High Times
web sites.
While I could see the point in assembling those links in an effort to provide access to various viewpoints, that is not the case here. This professor
is clearly biased to the point where she is incapable of properly teaching requisite course material.
