THE “MORAL RETARDS” PROF STEPS DOWN

By Michelle Malkin  •  June 8, 2005 08:24 AM

The professor who called religious people “moral retards” has dropped his bid to head up Brooklyn College’s sociology department, the New York Sun reports:

Timothy Shortell, an associate professor in the sociology department at the CUNY senior college, sent a bitter e-mail on Monday to several departmental heads saying he had decided to step down as chairman-elect and claiming he was a victim of a political attack.

Yesterday, the college’s administration, led by the president, Christoph Kimmich, announced that Mr. Shortell declined the appointment but would be consulting on the future leadership of the department.

In his e-mail, Mr. Shortell expressed anger at the treatment he received from some members of his department and at what he called the administration’s “inadequate” defense of his academic freedom.

Boo hoo.
