NoScript + Adblockplus = I never deal with this shit. It even cuts the video ads out of the shows on southparkstudios.com and a few other streaming video sites!

People are scared of nuclear power for no good reasons. I grew up with in 15 miles of the Limerick Nuclear Power plant and was never scared of it. I also always thought they should get rid of the Coal plant that was nearby in Phoenixville. No matter how the coal companies try to spin it as "cleaner" it's never really going to be that clean, or as clean as nuclear. Fusion power would be awesome, but we're not there yet. I do agree it should be focused on a bit more.

It's not that they don't have a way of communicating (in my experiences), they do, but they just don't utilize it properly. Going right along with your examples, someone hard to understand their speech giving mainly lectures despite the difficulty of understanding... Or in the case of the OP, he said that his dyslexic professor, rather than teaching mainly through lecture which wouldn't affect his ability to teach, instead wrote a ton of stuff on the board... which again doesn't make sense if he had thought through his options for communicating with the students.

You don't think there should be any job requirements or English proficiency tests for those who have to teach to people who only know English? I'm pretty sure that most jobs (including ones much less prestigious than that of a professor) have more stringent language proficiency requirements... so why should they be exempt or have very relaxed standards? I also don't think that just because someone is a genius in their field that that makes them a good teacher. Knowing an advanced level of a subject does not necessarily make you able to communicate an understanding of it to others well.

I think it's bullshit that they let him be a professor to teach college students. I'm all for letting people with disabilities have all the rights of everyone else, but how the fuck are you supposed to learn properly from him? You're paying (or someone is) fuck knows how much money for an education and you have to cope with that, or with people who can't really speak English that well or have accents too thick to understand it with any amount of ease. And even worse than the average student, what about students who also have disabilities... they're pretty screwed with teachers who have communication issues themselves.
