When Will the Others Follow the Farleigh Dickinson Lead?

As you know, there is just not enough representation for the Nazi Party and Holocaust Deniers on American college campuses, or at least that used to be the story at Farleigh Dickinson University in New Jersey. The ranks of academic stormtrooper, which include such great minds as Arthur Butz from Northwestern University and Norman Finkelstein from DePaul University, have recently lost a member: Jacques Pluss. Farleigh Dickinson has come to its senses, although Farleigh late. Pluss, like Butz and Finkelstein, is a Chicago Holocaust Denier and anti-Semite. What is it about that town?

Farleigh D likes to call itself the Harvard on the Hackensack. The Weekly Standard called the affair "Springtime for Farleigh Dickinson". I doubt even Mel Brooks could give the story justice.

Pluss was dismissed from FDU this past March because university officials learned of his involvement in the National Socialist Movement, which bills itself "America's Nazi Party." School officials insist he was let go for missing too many classes. The 51-year-old "professor" is a white supremacist or racist. He was previously a tenured professor at William Paterson University in Wayne, N.J., from 1984 to 2000.

Pluss, who had taught Western Civ at the university since 2002, said he joined the neo-Nazi group in February but kept his views a secret on campus. Just after dismissal, Pluss went on "White Viewpoint," a radio show on the National Socialist Movement Web site. He talked about FDU as a "Jewish plutocratic university" and described the school's men's basketball team as "nigger to the core."

"They (the players) have absolutely no right to be in that classroom because they do not possess either the merit or the enhanced intelligence to be there," Pluss said on the show.

Pluss said he joined the National Socialist Movement because he "was looking for alternative political parties that presented what I thought were more solid and sensible plans for the common good of America."

The group, whose members wear Nazi regalia at its meetings, sometimes has joint meetings with the Ku Klux Klan. Pluss called Fairleigh Dickinson a “heavily Judaized institution” that had taken “the typical Jewish, lawyerly, Hebrew line” in dismissing him. The "Stormfront" nazi web site was offended by his dismissal.

Pluss, who received a Ph.D. from the University of Chicago, is being paid through this semester. Adjunct professors at the school generally make between $1,500 and $3,000 per course.

As Lowell Ponte notes, sauce for the nazi does not seem to be sauce for the moonbat. Why are the Ward Churchills, Joseph Massads, Sami al-Arians and Lisa Hajjars not similarly expelled from the institutions in which they promote totalitarian extremist and pro-terror agendas?
