and Professor Scharf’s response was *SILENCE*

By MimmyJarr

Bob, Daniel Genseric, Tom Bowie and I attended an International Law MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) taught by one of the world’s leading experts in international criminal law and genocide, Professor Michael Scharf, Dean and Director of the Frederick K. Cox International Law Center at Case Western University in Cleveland Ohio.

Due to the fast paced environment of the online chat, Daniel accidentally addressed the professor as “Dean Schart” at one point, but a cordial ambience was otherwise maintained with Bob frequently interjecting well timed advice for the professor, such as “Get back to the safety of your classroom where you don’t have to contend with free speech!”

And indeed Bob’s advice proved sagacious because many of the MOOC participants began showing an interest in the reality of White genocide and expressing suspicion at the professor’s awkward silences.

The professor predictably sought refuge in the Holocaust™, but Genseric was hot on his tail with a Nick Griffin rejoinder:

“Six million? We’re talking about six-hundred-million!”

At that point the professor began taking Bob’s advice to heart and returned to cutting and pasting from his recently drafted opus on how to bring lethal accountability to anyone resisting his idea of freedom (i.e. Bashar al-Assad).

I bet some MOOCers check out Bob’s Underground Graduate Seminars. Who knows, maybe some of them already participate under different names, but many names also indicate the probability of an active disinterest.

A professor once offered a MOOC
‘Twas attended by many a gook
BUGSers went in
Truth came out
Is it a trend or a fluke?
