Kevin Barrett, the University of Wisconsin-Madison lecturer who believes the Sept. 11 attacks were a conspiracy of the United States government, will be allowed to teach his course this fall.
Barrett will teach “Islam: Religion and Culture.” Politicians like Rep. Steve Nass, R-Whitewater, and later Gov. Jim Doyle and Republican gubernatorial candidate Mark Green, had cast doubt on Barrett’s ability to fairly teach the course.
After reviewing Barrett’s plans for the course, UW-Madison Provost Patrick Farrell said today that the course will go ahead as scheduled.
