Professor Tancredo?

Has anyone here, seen my old friend Tom?
Well, no. But we hear about him now and again:
Congressman Tom Tancredo joked yesterday that he would like to take being GOP to the next level … Grand Old Professor.
The Colorado conservative said he would make an excellent candidate for the University of Colorado’s proposed $9 million program that aims to recruit prominent conservatives to teach on the liberal Boulder campus.
“I should be the clear favorite for the job,” quipped Tancredo yesterday in a joke news release. “Who doesn’t want a slightly used congressman, with a 98 percent lifetime rating from the American Conservative Union, educating their children?”
Tancredo said if he was chosen as a Visiting Chair in Conservative Thought and Policy, he would teach a curriculum that includes “Western Civilization and the Threat of Islamofascism, English Only 101, and American Assimilation,” which would replace “Chicano and ethnic studies.”
Good syllabus. I think American youth would become better citizens if they could learn from conservatives vs. liberals all the time. Fair and balanced…a foreign concept to most university campuses.
