Spucatum tauri: Job opportunities that reflect society's decay

The Organization of American Historians, long known for its steadfast defense of Western civilization, has this job opportunity posted on its website:

Hunter College
U.S. History: Gay and Lesbian/History of Sexuality. The Department of History at Hunter College invites applications for a tenure-track appointment in United States history with a specialty in Gay and Lesbian/History of Sexuality. Requirements for appointment are a Ph.D. in history, and evidence of successful teaching and scholarship. In addition to courses in the field of specialty, appointee must demonstrate a commitment to regularly teaching the U.S. history survey course. Rank and salary are commensurate with teaching and publishing record. Review of applications will begin August 2006 and continue until position is filled. Send letter of application, C.V., and three letters of reference to Barbara Welter, Chair, Department of History, Hunter College, 695 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10021. Letter of application and C.V may also be sent by email to history@hunter.cuny.edu. Hunter College is an EEO/AA/ADA/IRCA employer.

I suspect that anyone who is not disturbed by such an opportunity is the perfect man or woman person for it.
