The truth is often extremely painful. Evil exists as long as politicians are allowed to influence the American public in a negative fashion. Once in a while the truth exposes these charlatans. This has happened today, and at the center is Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker.

Last year Sara Goldrick-Rab made a statement about Walker while employed as a professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison College. She compared Walker to Hitler, saying that the shared ‘terrifying similarities.’ She called his administration fascist.

Goldrick-Rab is a strong voice for affordable and effective higher education. Walker has long been criticized for his apparent lack of concern for education; it has a very low priority in the state of Wisconsin.

She is obviously no longer a professor at the University of Wisconsin. Instead, she has been accepted by Temple University. Ranked the 13^th ‘most influential Education Professor’ in the nation, Temple President Neil Theobald said that she will begin teaching in July.

“Looking objectively at her record,” [Temple Dean of Education Greg Anderson] said, “it’s really a no-brainer for any serious college or university to want to have faculty like her, based on her funding productivity, her scholarly and research activity, and her impact on public policy and the postsecondary arena.”

Naturally conservatives were quick to criticize both Goldrick-Rab and Temple University. One of the many things they don’t believe in is ‘free speech;’ and they never admit to the truth.
