Warning: Graphic, stomach-churning stuff below.
I like Mike S. Adams because he doesn’t speak in euphemisms. He calls a thing what it is and regularly exposes liberal lunacy and debauchery at UNC-Greensboro and Chapel Hill. (See this post for background.)
Here’s the latest. According to Adams, UNC-G hired a convicted sexual pervert to work in the Office of Student Life. He writes:
Per my request, the Guilford County District Attorney’s office recently confirmed that OSL employee Michael Bishop, age 34, was convicted in 2002 of twenty counts of possession of child pornography. He was also accused of inappropriate relations with a 16 year-old boy.The convicted sex offender is also a UNCG student who was elected chairman of the SGA finance committee last month. The finance committee, which is responsible for the budgets of all student organizations, controls $130,000 in public funds. Mr. Bishop is also the organizational senator for a campus gay organization called PRIDE.
Bishop is also employed as the business manager of the Campus Activates Board, which is responsible for planning student events such as Fall Fest and Homecoming. Readers may remember from some of my previous articles that UNCG also has a Gay Pride Week that features a “drag queen day” and a “gay prom.”
Bishop holds these positions despite the fact that on February 8, 2001, he was indicted by a Guilford County grand jury on twenty counts of possession of child pornography. That indictment describes digital images of boys from the age of 8 to 14 engaged in sexual acts. Most of the pictures depict oral sex, either between male boys or between adolescent boys and adult males, according to Guilford County records. However, at least two of the pictures are of boys being sodomized by adult males.
I don’t think my commentary is necessary; you know where I stand. But…
A few months ago I defended Adams after he was accused of comparing the Office of Student Diversity at UNC-Chapel Hill with the perverts of the National Man/Boy Love Association. I was interviewed by a college student named Jason Alston (see this post). This is the relevant portion of the exchange:
Jason: And my university’s own Townhall.com columnist Mike S. Adams has infuriated much of the black population at my school through numerous actions, including criticizing the school for devoting last semester to the 1954 Brown decision, insinuating that black faculty meetings were a form of discrimination, and comparing my school’s Office of Campus Diversity to the pedophilic organization NAMBLA.Me: Mike Adams didn’t compare the Office of Campus Diversity to NAMBLA. He was merely pointing out that based on the office’s support of certain groups as “diverse” and not others, an argument can be made that NAMBLA fits the UNC definition of “diverse.”
Adams correctly shows that when liberals talk about “diversity,” the diversity in question is one of skin color and sexual preferences, not of ideas and viewpoint. This is aptly demonstrated by the previous chancellor’s refusal to include books critical of homosexuality on the Web site. Yet UNC allows the inclusion of Project B-Glad, a group that promotes homosexuality.
What I don’t understand is the lack of righteous indignation from blacks that homosexuals have co-opted the struggle for civil rights and equated it with sexual perversion. As long as I live, I’ll never understand that.
UNC, a taxpayer-supported school, is hostile to religious groups. That’s a proven fact. At the same time, they embrace perversion. That’s a proven fact. Does that make sense at a so-called diverse school? The world has gone completely mad.
My commentary: Sodom, meet Gomorrah…
Addendum: This is one of Adams’s columns referenced in the interview. Do I have to do all the work around here?

La Shawn, I follow Mike’s work too — he seems like a lone voice in the wilderness on calling out these universities on their absurd practices and liberal discriminatory tactics.
It’s amazing what UNC G and Chapel Hill get away with – I live in North Carolina, and I’m embarassed with both of them.
“an argument can be made that NAMBLA fits the UNC definition of “diverse.””
Whats the argument? And isn’t it possible to be Diverse while also being something else?
actus, I have no idea what that means. But perhaps the question was for someone else…
We need to shout out to the world that we are not going to allow our tax dollars to go to institutions like these. I was appalled when my nephew opted for Penn State, home of the annual “Sex Fair”, including S & M equipment, advocating bondage, etc.! Penn State is also taxpayer funded. What are parents thinking when they send their kids to these schools?
her statement is precisely the argument…that NAMBLA qualifies as a diverse group by the standards set at these universities.
you can be diverse, that’s fine. however, being diverse means that EVERYONE gets an opportunity to express their point of view. that means the college republicans can have affirmative action bake sales and religious groups can voice their opinion without univeristy interference. the current college environment is anything but diverse when it comes to ideas. it is diverse in skin color and sexual preferences. nothing else.
There is a lot of hypocrisy and corruption about how student organizations are run and funded at universities. I was the treasurer of IVCF for 3 years in college. We recieved a few dollars in funding despite being one of the largest student organizations on campus. There was a central committee who dispersed everything, but nobody knew how it worked and nobody knew who was represented on it. All we knew was that we never got any funding and that no public records were kept. It does not surprise me that this sort of thing goes on elsewhere.
kinda dangerous to put a confirmed pedophile in charge of student funding, isn’t it? Like putting a rapist in charge of selecting showgirls, or an embezzler in charge of an audit.
Why is academia so dumb?
I wore a Republican shirt the other day. Does that make me diverse? heh
Only if you wore it with a smile on your face, Rep
I think it unconscionable that this man has been allowed to stay in his job. So much for looking out for our children.
LB:
whats the argument that NAMBLA fits the UNC definition of diversity? And really what does that say? that the definition for diversity is overbroad? that it doesn’t exclude enough bad people?
LB’s argument is that diversity on the college campus isn’t true diversity, it is selectivity. Only selected groups are represented and heard. She is demonstrating the absurdity that a group such as NAMBLA, which advocates something that is against the law, can be represented and have a voice, while groups like College Republicans, FCA, and Baptist Student Unions aren’t treated as equals. Those groups are consistently shouted down, unnecessarily regulated, harrassed and persecuted for their beliefs. Is that what diversity is supposed to represent? Or does tyranny more aptly describe how they are treated on college campuses?
Chris, I thought the argument was an obvious one: that diversity of viewpoint is not the true goal, but the exclusion of groups holding traditional, decent, “judgmental” values. Yours is one of the most eloquently expressed explanations of why perversion thrives on campuses and conservatives and Christians are marginalized: selectivity is the key, not diversity of ideas.
Whenever you hear mealy-mouthed libs talking about diversity, it is of skin color and sexual preference only.
Actus,
Have you read any of Mike Adams commentary on UNC-G or UNC- Chapel Hill? I don’t ask this in an accusatory way, but simple in a factual way.
Alot of the background for this thread and LaShawn’s comments are explained over at Dr. A’s site.
UNC-CH has gone out of it’s way to be hostile to groups like the IVCF, Christian greek chapters, Young Republicans and other groups, (going so far as to try to derecognize them and eject them from campus). At the same time, other groups have been ecouraged, and the list of speakers paid for by the school definitely help with the notion that UNC might consider NAMBLA a good candidate for expanding diversity on campus.
Unfortunately, it is not just UNC with this kind of tomfoolery going on. Penn State (another tax payer funded univ) has had Patrick Califia Rice speak on campus many times. This same school recently refused to allow a Christian group to have an on campus club, claiming there were already enough christian groups on campus. Publicity and a threatened lawsuit (sound like UNC?) caused a reversal in this decision. They also hired a convicted murderer, and once word got out, fired him after admitting they had never done a background check
Lakeland Community College Professor James Tuttle has been stripped of seniorit, reduced in pay and his contract was not renewed after a student complained that he describes himself as a “Catholic Christian philosopher and theologian” He is suing the school, since the school has done this a stated his open Catholicism makes him unsuitable to teach in a non-seminary/sectarian environment. He teaches philosophy, BTW.
Univ. of Illinois has Tim James Dean who wrote “Daddy’s Boys”, which proposes “Daddy-Boy relationships may represent an emerging form of family organization — the queering of the immediate family,”
I don’t know why some people would think some public univ.s have an odd view of diversity.
Of course, the real rub (no pun intended) is that there are still folks in this world who deny any connection between male homosexuality in adults and homosexual molestation of males as children. How many grown men who currently identify as gay were either molested by men as children, or participated in homosexual acts with older boys? Just look at the Catholic priest scandal!
Thanks LB. This kind of stuff is why I love to blog. The opportunity to daily utilize my First Amendment rights.
I’m surprised they didn’t make him a professor yet.

Andy,
Don’t you find it extra ironic that same universities go to great lengths to support and endorse LBGT activists and islam, when the latter has some of the stronger anti-gay stances around? I watched a small scale confrontation at Stanford a few years ago between some lesbians and fully burked out islamic women. The amount of hate flowing between them was hard to miss. “You’re letting a patriachal system rape and opress you!” vs. “God will strike you down for your sins!” If I wasn’t sure both groups would lay into my male christian tuckus, I’d have gotten out some popcorn and called the fight or given color commentary. As it was, I went down to Castro for some vindaloo and a beer, instead.
Imagine that steel cage match… then toss in the black prison islamic converts (peaceful and otherwise), someone from nambla and the down-low community. The audience would need more plastic and ponchos than a Gallager show.
On kind of a side note, what about the screening of candidates for jobs? Doesn’t having a criminal conviction on your record mean anything? I’m really asking – I don’t know the answer.
One of my very good friends (a university professor) was murdered last year (in a horrific gruesome way that still haunts me) by an assistant professor – who (now it turns out) had a long long line of arrests and restraining orders and convictions on his record. The pattern was completely visible in his record, but nobody checked it, apparently.
I am still baffled at how these people slip through.
“At the same time, other groups have been ecouraged, and the list of speakers paid for by the school definitely help with the notion that UNC might consider NAMBLA a good candidate for expanding diversity on campus.”
Oh. so there isn’t like a written diversity policy that is being applied here. I see. Just pedophilia baiting.
there is a diversity policy. as i said earlier, it is selectively enforced. you need to read mike adams’ archives to know the entire history of the problem he speaks of in his op-eds. i’ll give you a quick summary: UNC-Chapel Hill and UNC-Greensboro have gone out of their way to protect minority groups/student organizations while at the same time stifling, threatening, trying to shut down groups such as College Republicans. Both universities have violated the enforcement of their own diversity policies under the guise of preventing “hate speech” or keeping the campus “safe.” These universities, funded by taxpayers, allow policies that violate First Amendment rights.
I think LB and myself have explained the quandry quite clear. These universities utilize their own diversity policies to stifle free speech. They allow free speech from groups that they approve, vs. free speech, period.
“Oh. so there isn’t like a written diversity policy that is being applied here. I see. Just pedophilia baiting. “-Actus
Where you got the notion that there is no written policy, I don’t know. But, the problem is that the policy as written is only enforced selectively, and based on the prejudices of some of the universities staff.
They froze the funds of a Christian group that refused to let non-Christians be board members, stating that the group violating diversity policy. They threatened the same to a republican club that didn’t want to let democrats hold leadership posistions within their club.
SCSIwuzzy; it is more than ironic, it is baffling.
Near as I can tell, I think for the thot process for Islamists: ‘The enemy of my enemy = my friend – till we’re done annihilating my enemies, then I’ll slit my “friends” like sheep in the slaughterhouse we built together’. That’s an example of a useful fool.
OTOH, for the Moonbat crowd, their thot process is similiar: ‘My enemy’s enemy (the oppressed) = my co-victimologists – till we’re done annihilating our enemy, then I’ll hope to hell that my support will suffice as ransom to their god (that I don’t even believe in), and they might call it even, Steven’. That my friend is the epitome of blind faith, bar none.
As for Actus, prosaic actup missives. Then again, maybe he truly doesn’t see it. Afterall the “written policy” is rather like the Cheshire Cat — a fictional cat with a broad fixed smile on its face. Like CC, the policy only reveals itself when useful, ie against conservatives, otherwise, all anyone sees is that smile. )
Sup La Shawn,
It’s Jason. Found out that you mentioned our interview again today. I read the comments and just wanted to let some folks know that some of the incidents they say Mike wrote about Chapel Hill, specifically concerning the Young Republicans, actually happened at the university that Mike and I are actually affiliated with, which is UNC-Wilmington (the Seahawks, not the Tar Heels).
Be blessed
Here is a link to Mike’s page w/ UNCW http://www.uncw.edu/soccrj/crj/adams.htm
“They froze the funds of a Christian group that refused to let non-Christians be board members, stating that the group violating diversity policy. They threatened the same to a republican club that didn’t want to let democrats hold leadership posistions within their club.”
And NAMBLA was allowed to exclude people who like adults? shocking.
Actus,
If you haven’t read the backround, why bother? Other to be a bother.
As the mommy of two young boys, I’ve been thinking about this all day long.
Two major thoughts have distilled themselves in my head
1) This man committed a crime, and if he’s been sentenced, has most likely paid society for that crime. That being said, he has to be able to work – earn his keep – in our society. What better place for him to work than a university? If he is a pedophile, there is no environment I can think of which is more likely to isolate him from young children. Most of the people who attend university are late teenagers – early twenties – too old for the target group, too young to have children in the target group. Therefore, there will be no exposure to his target group, yet he is gainfully employed. Am I missing something here?
2) I have always been under the impression that pedophaelia (sp?) and homosexuality were not related. That is to say, a man who is interested in a 16 year old girl is not sick, a man who is interested in an 8 year old girl is sick. In fact, most men are attracted to (but wouldn’t act on, just biologically attracted to) 16 year old girls. Most men are *NOT* attracted to 8 year old girls. Isn’t the same true for gay men wrt boys?
