Saint Michael’s College in Vermont is a Catholic college looking for a professor for their political science department, according to their website.
Saint Michael’s College is seeking to fill a full-time, tenure-track position in the Department of Political Science in Political Theory at the rank of Assistant Professor to begin in August 2009. A Ph.D. in political science and prior teaching experience are required…Preference will be given to candidates who fit well within a collegial environment with an institutional commitment to social justice and community participation, and which supports original research and interdisciplinary teaching. We are especially interested in candidates who could contribute to institutional interdisciplinary priorities with theories of racial, ethnic, feminist and/or environmental politics.
Hmmm. Have you ever wondered why college campuses are dominated by liberal faculty who teach liberal talking points to their students? It’s because those are the only people they’ll hire.
Personally, I just thought they were a little too smart to put it in writing. I guess not.

As a former SMC student, I am not at all surprised. I had a philosophy professor tell us that Catholics were sheep who needed a father figure to do their thinking for them. A religion teacher who burst into tears during class because the school wouldn’t allow the ordination of a female Episcopalian bishop in the chapel. There were a number of openly homosexual professors. St. Michael’s is a pretty school in a nice area, but academically, you can find much better. The only thing it has going for it is its Catholic identity, but, incomprehensibly, it seems to be trying to shed any traces of it. I went because I was given a full scholarship, and thought I’d be heading to a solid Catholic school. I left after a year and a half, and came very close to losing my faith. There are very good people there. Most of the professors I became close to were those who had been at the school over twenty years. The new ones are answering ads like the one posted.
