The Washington Times: The new nutty professors

As state colleges and universities begin the school year, deans and trustees should familiarize themselves with a group called “Scholars for 9/11 Truth.” This group, the new locus for September 11 conspiracy theories, believes that the official history of the terrorist attacks is a hoax. But unlike garden-variety conspiracy clubs, this one happens to count nearly two dozen professors, instructors and other affiliates at state college and universities around the country among its members. Insofar as these people allow their nutty political beliefs to infect their teaching, school officials had better be equipped to make some decisions.
