Professor KC Johnson: Dowd and Duke

Potbangers rally against the lacrosse team on March 27, 2006.

"The self assurance in the statement issued yesterday by the team that they will be exonerated by the results of the DNA testing makes me wonder if we've gotten the full story about who was at the house that night. Were there others present who in fact carried out the rape and who are being protected by everyone else who was there? How do we know who was there?" - Duke University Professor Kim Curtis March 29, 2006

Why on earth would any student ever want to take a class taught by this woman -- a vindictive harpy with pathetic academic credentials?

Do you think it ever occurred to Ms. Curtis, even if for just a second, that the reason the LAX players had so much "self assurance" about the DNA was because they were telling the TRUTH all along???

I guess that kind of analytical thinking is not taught by these geniuses in Duke's liberal arts programs.

The LAX players were everything she hates. White, mostly financially well off males.
The "victim" black and poor.
She probably still thinks the LAX players are guilty.

I think you should remove the caption "Duke University Professor".Curtis is not worthy of that title.

RE: (ex) Prof. Curtis:
I cannot bring myself to disparage such an individual that is clearly cognitively disabled and that has been beaten so badly with the 'ugly stick.'

Reade and Collin should agree to return to Duke if:
*Dick Brodhead (Dickhead) resigns w/o severance package
*The Group fo 88 are detinated w/o severance packages
*Public apology from each and everyone of the above.
*Private security 24/7 at their disposal (can't trust the DPD)

It would be an honor for Colin and Reade to play with their team again!

Ms. Curtis and I agree on something... DPD should have done a little more investigating before the 46 LAX were ordered to give their DNA. Were there others there? Is the AV telling the truth? Does her story hold up against other witness statements? Perhaps we wouldn't be where we are today if they had done (or have been allowed to do)their job of investigating before moving forward with charges...

IS that Professor Curtis as one of the potbangers in that picture?

She doesn't wonder if they might be innocent? So much for the presumption of innocent.

She has a good point. I could have been there. In fact I like nothing so much as watching a Black alcoholic undress in front of me while I drink beer and look for that girl I saw in American Lit. George Bush could have been there. Putin too. I mean we should thank her for opening up the true possibilities of this affair. I'll get back to you guys as soon as I can figure if I have an alibi for that night or whether I'll have to get my parole officer to lie for me.

Did anyone elese notice that the three potbangers in the picture bark. They were probably envious that the LAX players paid more attention to their dirty socks that those dogs!

Ah the Internet! Next time you join the lynch mob Ms. Dowd remember there are people watching.

BTW if she connected to Prof Coles another Duke 88er?

Welcome to the real world! Most of us don't live in Ivory Towers and have captive audiences of 18-22 years old who can't object to your view of the world.

anybody know the context of this rally? This is obviously on campus. Did they really demonstrate against the LAX players on campus?

If so, it also flies in the face of Ms. Davidson's statement of people 'disappearing into humiliation' as 'the lacrosse players were being elevated'.

I happen to be a REAL barker, and I resent you associating my type with the likes of those you discuss here. Unlike them, most people find me cute and cuddly. I like just about EVERYBODY (especially if you give me treats!!!). So, on behalf of dogs everywhere, I officially protest your intimating that we are in any way like the humans in the picture you reference!!!

Why is everyone using race in the discussion? This has much less to do with race as sex. Isn't it clear these self-promoting harpies in the women's program are leaching off the goodwill of the taxpayers?

This is nothing short of a modern day witch hunt against males.

When will the men and good women in this country understand that modern women's studies is nothing short of a hate group?

Reading on the forum I saw where Curtis was trying to drum up 1 billion dollars to study the effects of sexism. I could do it for a dollar.
