THE BATTALION
YCT
Continued from page 1A
of his students love taking the class. He urged
those who disagree with YCT to challenge
YCT openly.
“I hope that the silent Aggie majority, which
recognizes that the YCT antics and tactics have
no place in this University, begins to challenge
them publicly and ask them to behave as uni
versity students or to transfer to Bob Jones
University or Baylor (University), where their
narrow view of the world is best served,”
Bonilla-Silva said. "We are, after all, a universi
ty and not a training camp for the right wing of
the Republican party, which seems to be the
dream of the YCT."
Slattery, a teaching and schooling in modem
society professor, said that despite what YCT has
posted, his student evaluations have shown that a
majority of students say he presents multiple
viewpoints in his lectures. Slattery said he intends
to post evaluations on his Web page so students
can judge for themselves.
Slattery said the YCT listing falsely states that
he forced students to attend an anti-war rally and
called for the firing of Christian faculty.
“(The hall) is really a distortion and, in my
case, some things are outright wrong,”
Slattery said.
Slattery said that as an academic scholar, it is
his job to challenge students to think about diffi
cult social and educational issues. He said he is
also an artist and that he uses his work to chal
lenge viewers to reflect upon topics such as reli
gion, sexuality, violence and abuse.
“I strongly believe that my research articles
and artwork provide a powerful and reflective
scholarly insight into these issues” Slattery
said. "I think YCT comments about my work
are taken out of context, and 1 think people
should read the whole thing for themselves and
then judge for themselves.”
Resch, a history professor, said he is pleased
that he made it on the list. In his lecture Monday
afternoon, Resch made an acceptance speech for
the Web posting.
“First, of course, I must thank the Young
Conservatives of Texas for selecting me for this
award,” Resch said. “We need organizations
such as this to remind all of us how un-
American and shameful free speech, critical
thinking, nonconformity, equality, democracy
and humanism really are.”
Bryant, an anthropology professor, said
he is ecstatic that he has been posted on the
“Hall of Dishonor." even though quoted state
ments of his on the Web site have been taken
out of context.
“I appreciate being listed on the YCT%
page, and I am thrilled that some studenis®
upset enough to think about some of the ^1
mention in class ” he said.
Bryant said it is essential thatA&Msii.
dents be exposed to different views so that ife
may be able to decide for themselves what is
right.
Parrish, an education professor, said she feds
that her listing is an honor, and that she las
received several e-mails congratulating herm
making the “Hall of Dishonor.”
“When they first started advertising this, I sail
to my students ‘I probably qualify for that,sun
should probably nominate me, " Parrish said 1
feel quite smug about it. I would’ve been disap.
pointed if I wasn’t on it.”
Obadele-Starks, a history professor, said da
although YCT has a right to express its opinio
he feels this expression is politically immature an]
irresponsible. Obadele-Starks said hiscoursesaa
not biased, but that they are open forums wheii
students can present their viewpoints.
"All of my courses are designed to pron®
dialogue and discourse,” Obadele-Starks saii
“Any student who is enrolled in my class b
offered to speak openly and honestly about to
views. This is not pre-World War II Genuam
where academics were ridiculed and ostracKi
for expressing academic freedom.”
Obadele-Starks said he encouraged students
w ho do not wish to hear opposing viewpointsk
take other professors.
“If they are looking for someone to anesthetize
the pain they might be having in dealing »iti
aspects of American history w hich include race !
would suggest they find a professor who would da
just that.” Obadele-Starks said. "Quite frail;]),
students have options, and they should exercise
those options, especially the YCT."

Maddox said he hopes students willusetke
Web site to choose w hat courses they want
register for.
"Some students who may be f reshmen orsopli
omores don't know professors’ ideological hr*
ings. then they get into the classroom and fini
they are discriminated against.” Maddox said,
w ant to save students time and money before the
register for classes.”
Maddox said that there are no cases on the Wei
site of conservative bias because the egiegiou-
cases of bias are liberal.
“I imagine there is conservative bias, and I
w ant students to w rite that in. hut 1 think the ms
bias is going to be perpetrated by the more radio!
liberal professors," he said.
Maddox said YCT plans to post morenameMn
the future, and that YCT is working on dealing an
interactive Pick-a-Prof-type Web site where stu
dents can openly post review's of professors.
