Prof. Ellen Lewin comes out� as a haterWhat a maroon. Reading into the story a bit more, the email was not spam, it had been approved by the University. Her reaction demonstrates a willfully closed mind. Sad... Her University website is here. Not much there, not surprisingly... Posted by DaveH at April 20, 2011 8:18 PM
Ellen Lewin � professor of Anthropology and Gender, Women�s & Sexuality Studies in the Department of Gender, Women�s & Sexuality Studies at the University of Iowa � got her (perhaps unwitting) fifteen minutes of fame Monday by using the f-bomb to reply to an email invitation from the college Republicans, creating a scandal on the campus that made national news. Dr. Lewin, apparently, doesn�t like Republicans at the college or otherwise. Tell it like it is, Ellen, you old lefty rascal you.
And so will I, thanks to one of my favorite websites � Ratemyprofessors.com � where, alas, it appears Dr. Lewin is herself not particularly admired by her students. Here are just the evaluations from the first page: �None. Worst attitude ever.�� �She was too busy preaching her political views to teach what we paid to learn.�� �Worst ever.�� �If you taken Introduction to Women�s Studies, you�ve taken Gender, Race and Class in the U.S. It�s ridiculous that they are BOTH required.�
And my favorite: �She loves to ramble to fill up time. Talks and talks and talks just to fill the remaining part of class. Rushes through material. Has a superiority complex about her being from NY, and openly looks down on Midwesterners. Spends a disproportionate amount of time on gender studies material even when the class she�s teaching has nothing to do with it.�
Cracks you up, except� someone�s paying for this insanity. Rep. Ryan, I think we have a few more cuts for you.
Here�s an interview with University of Iowa Professors Timothy Hagle and Kembrew McLeod, Matt Sowada, the conservative co-host of the political talk radio show American Reason on KRUI, and Rod Sullivan from the Johnson County Board of Supervisors about Professor Ellen Lewin�s �F� You, Republicans!� email response to the University of Iowa College Republicans campus-wide invite for people to participate in �Conservative Coming Out Week.�
