professor in question, Dr. Richard Dekmejian, is a professor of political science at USC who specializes in national security issues, Middle East studies, terrorism and other related topics. The twenty-minute classroom recording was made in Fall 2012 by USC student Tyler Talgo, who may face consequences for his actions since USC’s Student Code of Conduct strictly prohibits making such recordings—a fact that USC’s provost was sure to note in her statement on the incident.
Even at a leftist bastion such as USC, Professor Dekmejian can be considered an extremist. In a mere twenty minutes of recorded classroom footage, Dekmejian repeatedly hurls insults at every Republican president since Reagan, claiming that they were “lazy” and that they “lied to the American people,” while praising Jimmy Carter for “still going around doing good things.” He also blames Israel for the radicalization of Hamas and claims that Islam deserves praise for its treatment of Jews and Christians.
Dekmejian’s radical rantings skewer so many conservative targets that it is difficult to find any cohesion to his lecture. On the Bush Administration’s motives for starting the war in Iraq, Dekmejian states, “Now the oil companies wanted the United States to take Iraq and establish a pro-America dictatorship there because that’s the only way you’re going to run Iraq. Talking about democracy as you go into Iraq as an excuse, you must be stupid or lying. That’s the Bush Administration.”
He characterizes “right wing Christian evangelicals” as “Get[ting] happy on television every time there’s a conflict in the Middle East” because “they think that the Book of Revelations tells them that the messiah…Jesus is going to come… all we need is a war in the Middle East involving Israel and the Arabs.”
Dekmejian also lauds Islam as superior to Christianity, noting that
“Under Sharia law, traditionally Muslims recognize three religions: Themselves (Islam) and the two religions that they came out of, that preceded them, Judaism and Christianity. So therefore Christians and Jews have certain rights, not equality, but they have certain rights…the great kings of Christian Europe, they persecuted Jews. They didn’t give them that kind of benefit. At least Islam did.”
