Suffolk Law Professor Shame!

So I am curious about all the people I know that went to Suffolk Law School, and what you think of Professor Michael Avery?  Apparently the good Professor enjoys his freedom of speech, but has contempt for those courageous souls who provide us that very freedom.

As you may have already heard, last week a Suffolk Law Professor sent out an email to his colleagues asking for contributions to put care packages together for our troops.  Quite a positive act by this particular professor, and something that I fully support.  But not Professor Avery.  Oh no, apparently that Avery hates our troops so much, not only did he refuse to participate, he went on to say: 

"I think it is shameful that it is perceived as legitimate to solicit in an academic institution for support for men and women who have gone overseas to kill other human beings."

Really Mr.Avery?  We have many brave men and women overseas, sacrificing time with their family and friends, obeying orders from their superiors, so that you may sit in your plush office with communist values, and you think they are murderers?  The really interesting point is that those who are protecting our freedoms are doing it voluntarily.  That is right, the members of our military decided to sign up so that they could protect the country that they love.



The professor went on to respond:

"Since Sept. 11 we have had perhaps the largest flag in New England hanging in our atrium.  This is not a politically neutral act. Excessive patriotic zeal is a hallmark of national security states."

Once again, Really Mr. Avery.  So, a flag flying is not patriotic, but the hallmark of national security states?  So, are you coming the flag flying in the atrium of your building to Nazi Germany?  It sort of sounds that way to me.  But I would really love to hear your side of the story and your explanation.  But apparently we will never get to hear your explanation because you are high and mighty Professor Avery, and have denied all requests for interview or to appear on radio or TV.

So, I decided to look at Avery's Suffolk Profile , and I found something interesting.  During the height of the Vietnam conflict, was Mr. Avery supporting his country?  No, he was studying at the University of Moscow.  Yes, that is right, he was supporting communism when the US was against it.

More research showed that Avery is a big supporter of Cuba as well and has given speeches there as recent as 2005 on terrorist acts of the United States.

             

Things Professor Avery Hates 

Professor Avery's Love

                                   

So, my question for you Professor Avery is, If you hate the United States so much why do you chooses to stay?  No one is forcing you to live here.  I believer it is because you are the poster boy of hypocrisy.

And Mr. Avery, you don't need to stuff care packages for our troops, because I will, and many others will, who support our military.  Just because we are in a war that you do not agree with, its no reason to hate the men and women who are simply following orders.  Maybe you should simply thank them for protecting your right to have whack-job views.
