The Skanks Of The Wabash

As Indiana loses a great leader, it employs a great dickwad at its IU School of Business.

On the site -- supported by the IU server and with an IU address -- Eric Rasmusen, an economics professor in the Kelley School of Business, contends gays aren't suited for certain jobs, such as teaching, preaching and elected posts, because these are "moral exemplars."

He also states that gay men "are generally promiscuous" and are more likely than heterosexuals to molest students.

Rasmusen said he keeps the site -- not so much for others to read, but as a journal to record his thoughts.

"I think the reaction is extreme because some university people do not have much exposure to people of differing opinions," he said.

Here's some of Professor Dickwad's scholarly thoughts:

A second reason not to hire homosexuals as teachers is that it puts the fox into the chickencoop. Male homosexuals, at least, like boys and are generally promiscuous. They should not be given the opportunity to satisfy their desires. Somewhat related is a reason not to hire a homosexual as a doctor even though you would hire him as a lawyer: you don't mind if your lawyer has a venereal disease such as HIV or hepatitis, but you do mind if your doctor is in a class of people among whom such diseases are common.

Likewise, you would not want to hire a bigoted fool to teach at your School of Business, because you would not want people to confuse intolerance and mental diarrhea with scholarly thought.

And how about this logic from Professor Make-Shit-Up:

Homosexuality violates both natural and divine law. It is universally abhorred (yes, I know it is tolerated in some cultures, but so is cannibalism and murder-- but those are exceptional cultures), and it is condemned both in Romans and Leviticus. Thus, not surprisingly, conservatives and churches oppose it, and oppose the even more unnatural concept of homosexual marriage.

...

Homosexuality, on the other hand, is an obvious enough evil that it does not require special teaching. Indeed, special teaching is required to make people believe homosexuality is not a bad thing, and that is one reason why there is so much agitation for official approval from homosexuals.

Professor Rasmusen's anti-intellectual hatred is not limited gay men. Razzy is evidently an admirer of Charles Murray and fan of The Bell Curve.

And, for "News," he links to Glenn Reynolds, the "Volokh Conspiracy" and Matt Drudge. (Apparently web gossip columnist/fabricator isn't a "moral exemplar" kind of job.)
