Here is a good-news story about pushback against Islamic supremacist intimidation and dhimmitude in the U.S. Army.
“Legal group comes to aid of Army instructor ousted over Muslim groups’ complaints,” by Perry Chiaramonte for FoxNews.com, October 5 (thanks to all who sent this in):
An Army lieutenant colonel who was on the fast track until Muslim groups complained about a course he taught on radical Islam has a legal foundation in his foxhole.
Attorneys for Lt. Col Matthew Dooley, a West Point graduate and highly-decorated combat veteran, was an instructor at the Joint Forces Staff College at the National Defense University, where by most accounts he won praise from students and faculty alike. But when Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Martin Dempsey excoriated Dooley during a Pentagon press conference in May, characterizing his course, “Perspectives on Islam and Islamic Radicalism” as objectionable, unprofessional, and “against our values,” Dooley’s once-bright career effectively hit a dead end, say his backers.
“This was a very heavy-handed approach from the very top,” said Richard Thompson, chief counselor and president of the Thomas More Law Center, a national nonprofit public interest law firm handling Dooley”s case. “He had a brilliant career ahead of him,” Thompson said. “Now, he has been flagged.”
Following Dempsey’s criticism, Dooley received a negative Officer Evaluation Report (OER) after acing them for the past five years, according to Thompson. In military circles, the bad OER was a scarlet letter.
“They [superiors] ordered a negative evaluation. He will never have the opportunity for promotion unless this is overturned,” Thompson said.
Dooley is a 22-year military veteran and decorated soldier who served three generals and did multiple tours of duty overseas. Dooley”s attorney says that they are prepared to file a civil lawsuit in federal court if Dooley”s negative ranking is not overturned by superiors….
