Uncle Sam slams door on Sandinista. Excellent.
The Boston Globe reports:
A historian and former Sandinista leader who helped overthrow Nicaraguan dictator Anastasio Somoza is no longer scheduled to teach classes at Harvard Divinity School this spring after she said she was denied a visa because of her role in alleged “terrorist activity.”
Dora Maria Tellez applied for a student visa to study English last year at the University of San Diego.
She then planned to teach in Cambridge this spring as a visiting professor, although she had not yet applied for the required teaching visa. But once the student visa was denied, Tellez told Harvard of- ficials that she would not be teaching classes on religion and society because she expected her teaching visa would also be rejected.
“I’m not angry,” Tellez, 49, said yesterday in a telephone interview from Managua. “I feel threatened if the United States considers me a terrorist. I want an explanation.”
An explanation? You’re a f’ing Sandinista!
Besides, don’t they have enough commies Harvard? Are they a little below the 186 communists per 1 non-communist quota? Is there a crisis brewing?
I find this little quote an amusing send off:
We strongly support the free exchange of scholars and scholarship
Yeah, that’s Harvard…
