a former CU conservative, evangelical history Professor Phil Mitchell. Read the Denver Post story and blogger Betsy Newmarks comments as well. The incident below should be enough to arouse your curiosity (if not anger!)…
Mitchell taught at the Hallett Diversity Program for 24 straight semesters. That is, until he made the colossal error of actually presenting a (gasp!) diverse opinion, quoting respected conservative black intellectual Thomas Sowell in a discussion about affirmative action.
Sitting 5 feet from a pink triangle that read “Hate-Free Zone,” the progressive head of the department berated Mitchell, calling him a racist.”That would have come as a surprise to my black children,” explains Mitchell, who has nine kids, as of last count, two of them adopted African-Americans
To save your suspense, Professor Mitchell no longer is employed at the University of Colorado. Sure sounds like CU’s loss in more ways then one.
