Wisc. prof who compared Scott Walker with Hitler faces shocking new allegations
Shocking new allegations emerged Wednesday against the University of Wisconsin-Madison professor who tweeted that Scott Walker and Adolf Hitler share “terrifying” similarities.
The University of Wisconsin Madison College Republicans put out a press release alleging that sociology Professor Sara Goldrick-Rab also tweeted at incoming freshmen who support Scott Walker, antagonizing them about the Republican governor’s budget cuts to the University of Wisconsin system.
“The College Republicans of UW-Madison call on the University of Wisconsin-Madison to address the harassment of these future Badgers on Twitter who were doing nothing but showing their excitement for attending this university,” the group’s chairman, Anthony Birch, stated on its Facebook page. “Professor Sara Goldrick-Rab: We find the way you have approached the dialogue around the intersection of politics and our university’s future disgusting and repulsive.”
Specifically, the group alleges that on June 6, “an excited recent high school graduate tweeted a picture of himself and his friends making the Wisconsin ‘W’ with their hands.”
“Professor Goldrick-Rab proceeded to cross all boundaries of professionalism and respect by seeking these recent graduates out on Twitter and proceeding to harass them with articles intended to lobby and persuade them not to attend the University of Wisconsin-Madison because ‘we don’t want students 2 waste their $’ and ‘I thought you want a degree of value,’” the release states.
“She proceeded to inform them that ‘if this thing goes through, we are all leaving, no joke,’ regarding the recent Republican budget and its changes to the University of Wisconsin system.”

Professor Goldrick-Rab ought to remember that tenure is now optional at the UW. She can be fired.
Why is it that folks like this professor always claim that they are going to leave if they don’t get their way, but they never follow through?
Could it be that she knows that a Phd in Sociology is all but useless outside of academia?
Could it be that she knows that her chances of getting a tenure track position at another university are about as high as a Dem actually acknowledging that Planned Parenthood may be doing something wrong?
They are always claiming that academia is the only thing holding back the tides of barbarians, but they never have anything for the conversation except “Give us more money”.
My dog could get a Ph.D. in Sociology.
Did you see her CV? Your dog would have published more (especially in a soft science like sociology).
C’mon, Celsius. Your dog could not get a Ph.D. in Sociology.
A Masters, at most. A dog is far too faithful and true to regurgitate the lies necessary to reach the highest ranks of the modern liberal arts professoriat. Plus, the old saw notwithstanding, dogs rarely bite the hands that feed them. For Goldrick-Rab and her ilk, it seems to be a job requirement. Or at least an irresistible impulse.
Proving yet again how useless a degree in sociology is when it only take a moron to teach it.
