The University of Missouri St. Louis released a statement following the release of several tapes showing professors instructing students on violent communist tactics and radical uprisings against business.
Their excuse: The tapes were doctored.
Here’s the classroom instruction that UMSL approved:
Via Big Goverment:
Dear Colleagues,
We have finally completed viewing the videos originating at the University of Missouri-Kansas City (UMKC) from the UMSL course Introduction to Labor Studies. The excerpts that were made public showing the University of Missouri-St. Louis (UMSL) instructor Don Giljum and students as well as the UMKC instructor and students were definitely taken out of context, with their meaning highly distorted through splicing and editing from different times within a class period and across multiple class periods.
As stated previously, our campus supports academic freedom, civility, diversity, open discourse and the pursuit of knowledge. We support the academic freedom of faculty, staff and students at UMSL. Contrary to some reports, Don Giljum has not been fired from the campus faculty, and in fact, is completing the course; he remains eligible to teach at UMSL. We sincerely regret the distress to him and others that has been caused by the unauthorized copying, editing and distribution of the course videos.
During the past two weeks, we have received communications over a wide spectrum of viewpoints, and we appreciate people letting us know what they think. We have learned more about video and Internet technologies that can be beneficial or detrimental to positive, civil discourse, and security issues related to the use of such media. We shall explore ways to improve security in the use of electronic media for instruction, research and other activities.
Sincerely,
Tom George
Chancellor
Professor of Chemistry and PhysicsGlen Cope
Provost
Professor of Political Science and Public Policy Administration
UPDATE: A student in the class wrote this today following the university’s statement:
I believe that any reasonable person who takes the time to read this post in full will come to the same conclusion that I did: Professors Giljum and Ancel used a public university class to promote their own radical political opinions and organizations, and to train students and union members in negotiating tactics that are apparently illegal, and profoundly unethical. Their behavior was highly unprofessional and inappropriate, and the University of Missouri should simply admit that fact and take steps to ensure that classes are not taught in that way ever again.
Read the whole thing. It is a shocking account of the radicalism being pushed by communist instructors at this far left campus.

Like the Racist Card, the old Taken Out of Context excuse is like a Swiss Army knife, capable of fixing any uncomfortable situation for leftists.
Muslims too have shown themselves at being adept at using both of these excuses.
Okay, lefties, keep using these. With each use they are becoming duller and duller. Too many people have caught on to Muslims and leftists generally.

From the George/Cope letter, “We have learned more about video and Internet technologies that can be beneficial or detrimental to positive, civil discourse, and security issues related to the use of such media. We shall explore ways to improve security in the use of electronic media for instruction, research and other activities.”
Translation:
We will be taking extraordinary steps to clamp down on the truth about what goes on inside our classrooms from getting out.
Time to call in Odd Jobs.

In other words, they’re annoyed that their subversive activities have been exposed. When is the course content at a state taxpayer supported university secret? And what about the danger to the community posed by gullible students acting on this radical tripe? These arrogant liberals must be held accountable.
NeoKong commented:
All the left over hippie bums from the seventies who never left the campus who would be the first to call campus security if someone ever got in their face. Think what they would do if somebody vandalized their offices or sabotaged their work place. They would all be screaming bloody murder.
Leftie scum.
Rob Crawford commented:
So, basically, their answer is “we’re going to make sure no one can see what we’re doing from now on.”
Scum.
Mahdi Al-Dajjal commented:
You have to forgive the Chancellor of this University for covering this guy’s butt. Proving your undying loyalty to the Underverse (dba The Democrat Party) is how you get promoted in that organization. This Chancellor is probably eyeing a seat on the US Supreme Court. Although he has absolutely no judicial experience and no legal experience to speak of, he can expect Obama to appoint him anyway and Party Officials in the Senate to approve his nomination just like they did with the other person Obama appointed to the Supreme Court who lacked any semblance of legal experience.
Rob Crawford commented:
“They’re saying the tapes were edited to be misleading…which they were”
No, they weren’t.
Your support of violence for political ends has been noted.
jimg commented:
Fine. That’s how you want to roll? You don’t have a problem with it?
OK.
Then guess what? It’s a two-way street, boy.
S. Wolf commented:
All part and parcel of the bigger picture..
‘A chilling report on the phone call held between President’s Medvedev and Obama prior to the public announcement that Osama bin Laden had been killed says that also discussed by the American President with the Kremlin was that the much feared time for the dreaded “Apocalypse Equation” may be now, not later.
The “Apocalypse Equation” refers to report authored by one of the most secretive women in US intelligence circles named Audrey Tomason [photo top left in White House Situation Room during the assault on bin Laden compound] who is Obama’s Director for Counterterrorism and while attending Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government wrote a master thesis [now classified by the US as “top-secret”] suggesting that it would be more humane for our world to undergo a “planned and controlled genocide” rather than to see it descend into the abyss of chaos it is now entering.
According to Ms Tomason’s “Apocalypse Equation” the “sustainable population” of our world can only be 1.5 billion human beings, as compared to the United Nations estimate of 7 billion we will reach on October 31st of this year, and the even worse figure of 10 billion estimated by 2100.
Ms Tomason argues in her thesis that our world’s population has been “artificially inflated” for the past nearly 100 years by a “non-sustainable” petrochemical and fossil fuel based global economy that if left “unchecked” could very well destroy all life on Earth, not just human beings.’

Wanumba says: So who’s that little woman in the back? Then does the research, aided by Toaster802:
“When does a photo tell a story? Check out this article about the chipmunk chick peeping in the room at the back of the picture;
Audrey Tomason: Situation Room Mystery Woman
Quote;
“Obama’s Director for Counter Terrorism – Audry Tomason definitely an evil entity
Ms Tomason further argues in her “Apocalypse Equation” thesis that since the collapse of civilization as we know it is “inevitable,” world leaders should consider the possibility of “mass genocide” to reduce our world’s population to a more “sustainable level commensurate with our Earth’s resources.”
The chilling genocidal scenario envisioned by Ms Tomason begins with a “limited nuclear conflict” targeted at major population centers, but designed to limit the fallout of radiation. Next would be the release of toxic chemical and biological agents she suggests could be blamed on “terrorist entities” to be followed by forced mass migration of populations to more “sustainable living environments.”
Wanumba then says:
Gads!! HOW was SHE vetted?
(This is NOT OFF TOPIC. Bear with, and trust me.)
I say:
Are you kidding me? She was “vetted” with the same moral filter that enabled Van Jones, Kevin Jennings (Assistant Deputy Director for Safe and Drug-free Schools with Fisting Kits, Dental Dams and Guides to Local Leather-bars….), and John Holdren.
You should research the genocidal views of Holdren. (advisor to President Barack Obama for Science and Technology, Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, and Co-Chair of the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology)
The White House had a friggin MAO TSE TUNG CHRISTMAS TREE ORNAMENT!! They worship the Great Leap Forward in this administration. Millions and millions murdered by their beloved State.
The FBI informant who infiltrated the Chicago communist/anarchists that Bill Ayers was involved with, talking about the very serious conversations regarding just how to go about “getting rid of” more than a quarter of the population.
These are who we have put in our nation’s highest places. God help us all.

Congrats to chancellor George for drying up alumni funds.Lets see how each department chair ,with less money to operate, will be open to all the temps and grad assistants for jobs., vs. Mr.Giljum still teaching.
Taqiyyotomist commented:
And Holdren is just as genocide-prone. As is Ayers. And probably more people in this administration than we even know.
True to form. Just like their heroes.
Filling mass-graves ALL WHILE pretending to be “peace” and “harmony” devotees.
Taqiyyotomist commented:
And GET THIS.
Holdren and Jennings are still in their appointed positions.
Despite the exellent “Fistgate” reports. Which would have brought down a JANITOR in the Bush administration.
Despite, for Holdren, the knowledge of his genocidal views (which are pretty much the same as Audrey Tomason’s) which would have, in a sane administration, be cause not only for dismissal, but for investigation.
This cannot be a “fault” of vetting. It is a Feature. What we see in these people are the desired attributes in this adminstration’s vetting process. You think Stephen King’s The Stand is a hope-for fantasy? YOU’RE IN!”
They are still in. What are “our” Republicans doing about it? What HAVE they done?
gus commented:
Taq, it’s as if the GOP is immune from the truth. The stuff reported here is true. It’s not crack pot stuff This admin. is filled with freaks. It’s getting scarier.
tommy mc donnell commented:
they support diversity. i guess that excuses supporting a political ideology that doesn’t allow any diversity of opinion.
rbosque commented:
My university CSULB had a “Jihadi luncheon” last year and their topic was to discuss the rise of “Zionism”. Sponsored by the Muslim Student Club.
The left just tolerates evil.
waicool commented:
sad day for UMSL, time to take this case to the board of curators and the Missour legislature. At least Mr. Giljum is now exposed for the dangerous socialist democrat that he is.
SandyfromChesterfield commented:
I suppose it was also okay for Professor Don Giljum to assault a reporter also? Senator Cunningham will be very please that the professor called her crazy.
TimT commented:
The only problem here is that these leftist scum keep filiming themselves. That essentially seals their fate when America decends into civil war….we’ll know who to strike and where they are.
I say let them continue, so that we may ID them all and prepare.

‘Introduction to Labor Studies’ – My First-Hand Account – I was a student in the University of Missouri’s “Introduction to Labor Studies” course. The class was taught simultaneously by Professor Don Giljum of University of Missouri-Saint Louis (UMSL) and Professor Judy Ancel of University of Missouri-Kansas City (UMKC) through the use of a live video feed that linked the two classrooms.

Thank you. Let’s shake and make up.
We are enemies of the same enemies.. and speaking of enemies did not Zero call for ‘punishing our enemies’, I would imagine that constitutional conservatives will be among those who pose “tremendous risks” to the state.. or so it will be claimed.

“…instructor Don Giljum and students as well as the UMKC instructor and students were definitely taken out of context…We shall explore ways to improve security in the use of electronic media for instruction, research and other activities.”
You’ll get no disagreement from me on these excellent points,

Univ or Missouri system say’s “Hey, this is the Show Me state, we’re just showing you what our professors are professing! Communism… sure it’s killed tens of millions of people world wide… but it’s cool!”
Tell your legislator’s that you demand your money’s worth – Fire Them!
wanumba commented:
Keep spreading the word to inform more people!
The problem is as the NAZIas exploited horribly, that these people are so extreme, it’s seems so unbelievable to normal people that the result will be the messenger will not be believed, while the genocidal conniver gets a pass.
Meanwhile, the University is pompously spreading what must be only a fig leaf disclaimer of “free flow of ideas” they are busy assuring radical profs they will pursue any methods to stop toxic professors and their toxic spew from being exposed to taxpayer sunshine.
University of Missouri is a STATE school, the TAXPAYERS have EVERY and ALL right to inspect the PRODUCT and demand a termination of patently abusive professors and courses.
Meanwhile, HARVARD looks more and more like a black fungal blot of decay and corruption on the nation than any “higher education” facility.
