ABOUT THAT STALIN-LOVIN' LEFT-WING NUTJOB...

You simply can't make this stuff up.  Sadly, with academia largely in the hands of tenured radicals who see indoctrination as their primary responsibility, not education, episodes like this are all too common.

"I have yet to find one crime — yet to find one crime — that Stalin committed," Furr said.

On the other hand, it makes it hard for the apologists to deny the reality of Left-wing subversion on campus.  As Ron Radosh points out in Academic Malpractice: The Case of Grover Furr:

So let me note why the employment in an American university of Grover Furr should be of concern, not just to residents of Montclair, N.J., and to the poor students who are forced to listen to the drivel and the lies he puts forth as the truth, but to anyone concerned with higher education in our nation. Furr is the equivalent of a Holocaust denier, a person who misuses the doctrine of academic freedom to use the classroom as a forum for indoctrination, and to use the imprimatur of being a faculty member as a mechanism to make it appear that he has something to say and that people should listen to him.

And this is nothing new for Furr.  Here's an excellent article about him from 2005, which includes this quote:

"What [American universities] need, and would much benefit from, is more Marxists, radicals, leftists – all terms conventionally applied to those who fight against exploitation, racism, sexism, and capitalism. We can never have too many of these, just as we can never have too few 'conservatives.'"

This man is an idiot and a disgrace.
