Seeking "Shut up and teach" info

Tomorrow, Monday, Feb. 12, six members of Duke's discredited faculty Group of 88 will participate in a "Shut up and teach" something or other at Duke.

I went to the web address where there's supposed to be time and place, etc. info.

I got a message box: the site is damaged and can't be repaired.

Does anyone have time and place details.

I want to post on them.

Thanks.

John,

After the H-S editorial Sunday, I suspect they are going to cancel. This was just a publicity stunt and now if they have it, it will go VERY badly for them. More evidence against them in civil suits and disciplinary hearing at Duke. If I was them, I'd fold my tent and get the hell out of Dodge!

2 Against a current of criticism and attempts at intimidation directed at faculty who comment on larger social and political issues, and following the events of last spring, this forum addresses connections between faculty interests and local, national, and international politics. “Shut Up and Teach?” is both quotation and revision of the recently released Dixie Chicks’ film title (“Shut Up and Sing”) – their response to a campaign of intimidation directed at them for criticizing George Bush. “Shut Up and Teach?” is our way of questioning what it is that we think faculty are being asked to do.

2:56 Is that AM or PM?
With arab and far left students interupting speakers such as David Horowitz,they feel secure that the moderates will listen politely - which they shoud. I do hope there will be questions from the floor. You can't get these people to go away. Better yet, it should be boycotted.
