Prof. Heidi Czerwiec, an associate professor of English at the University of North Dakota (UND), claims she is so enraged that ROTC cadets are practicing maneuvers at the university, that she plans to call the police every time she sees them.
According to a complaint letter she wrote to the Grand Folks Herald, when Czerwiec first saw “two figures in camo” outside her office, she threw herself under her desk and desperately called 911 until they verified to her “that yes, in fact, I’ve probably just seen ROTC cadets.”
According to multiple students, these recent ROTC maneuvers had been announced in a campus-wide email to all current students and faculty and included information on when, where and why they would be conducted.
Despite knowing in advance what was happening, Czerwiec claimed she was so fearful when she spotted two of the students in their camouflage uniforms that she could barely speak.
“Apparently, it’s not enough that UND’s administration is attacking the quality of education by cutting programs and experienced faculty and jacking class sizes. Now, we must also feel under physical attack as well,” she wrote.
Czerwiec claimed that a university safety officer scolded her for calling emergency personnel for help after she knew for weeks what would happen, and that it further upset her to learn that ROTC cadets “will be doing these exercises for the next couple weeks.”
“So I reply that I guess I’ll be calling 911 for the next couple weeks — and I will. Every time,” Czerwiec promised.
Czerwiec, whose most recent work include “a sonnet sequence that negotiates the relationship between formal poetics, bondage/discipline, and female identity through the figure of elusive 1950s pinup Bettie Page,” apparently finds the presence of ROTC cadets unacceptable.
“It’s already highly inappropriate to conduct unnecessary military maneuvers in the middle of the quad,” she wrote. “But with school shootings on the increase and tensions at UND running high, it’s especially irresponsible. We’re already under financial and emotional attack. We don’t need to feel under physical attack, too.”
Main Street says
Heidi has no comment though on the haters causing havoc in the world. Another politically correct fascist.
ROBERT O'BRIEN says
Disconnect her phone now
Eileen Murray says
Put her in jail for misuse of the 911 system. She truly is a nutcase and probably needs to be fired from the university, as well! A weirdo like her is scary and I would not want her teaching my children anything!!!
Jim says
The worst part is that there are a lot of teachers just like her in our school systems. I’ve seen them in grade, middle and high school. It seems that a lot of people in demo’s are crackpot teachers. I guess they start believing there own liberal bull shit.
Jim says
Yes, do that . It’s a crime to make false calls. Now that she knows what’s going on she’s libel.
Jan Schilling says
Jim, I believe you meant liable…not libel. Libel is when you write something about someone that hurts their reputation.
Gene Kathol says
Amen. I second that
Peggy says
Amen!
Vicky says
That should be told to her and if she keeps doing this she needs a pcyological evaluation. She’s afraid to be attacked knows she is not attacked and calls 911 maybe she is not taking her meds
Bill Kay says
Better yet fire the half Wit , and fire the half wit system that hired this HALF wit in the first place as they say birds of a feather like to flock to gather .
Jan Schilling says
I agree. If she is so emotionally overwhelmed at something she had been told about, she would come unglued, if God forbid, something worse would take place on campus. She is an adult, and in charge of people in her class. She is NOT IN CHARGE of her emotions, that’s for sure. Calling 911, is an abuse of a system already overloaded with real distress calls. I would fine her for every call she makes, seeing as he has been told not to do that.
Joy says
She isn’t worth wasting words on.
JoAnn says
Hahaha Good idea
Mr Obvious says
Everything she calls, they should fine her. Then they should suspend her w/o pay. What a loony moron. Just another idiotic liberal school.
Thomas E Stanley says
I think that the ROTC cadets shod practice in her classroom wearing full parade attire. Then escort her home each night. Also, put an armed guard just inside the door of her classroom and one inside the door of her office. Gotta protect the anti-Aerican bitch
Nancy says
She is as loony as Hillary and the rest of the Left. My husband, a disabled Vietnam veteran, predicts that if we don’t get our act together, we will almost certainly see chaos in this country — and will welcome the sight of our military on the rooftops and in the streets. I’m praying that we come to our senses and elect Donald Trump before that happens.
Bonnie says
Well she just announce to the world that she plans on calling in a false emergency to 911. Thats illegal. Hope she can live with herself if someone with a real emergency can’t get through because she is bothering emergency personnel with a non life threatening emergency. She should be arrested and charged like anyone else who uses 911 to call in a fake emergencies. The community that lives around this university should worry for their emergency needs as long as this person works at that university.
Steve Lindhurst says
Cane ‘er. In public. Bare assed.
Jim Bahen says
Ms. Czerwiec really needs counseling for an irrational fear; that is causing her to react in this manner. I could understand a little, her first reaction but her persistence suggests a deeper problem that is causing her to behave in this irrational manner. The lady needs help and she is totally unaware of her paranoia!!
DISGUSTED says
She needs a “Safe Space”, in a MENTAL INSTITUTION!
dave ray says
she would b pleading 4 them 2 come if she saw a gang of terrorists coming thru the quad
david5300 says
She is projecting her own mental defects on to others. It is what liberals do.
She is a hater who is like the person we all know who would steal a child’s ball if it rolled onto their grass.
This mental defective should not be teaching in any capacity.
Laurel Durkee says
FIRE this wacko freaking liberal! I don’t want her spreading her poison to our young people; its time to call the people in the white coats with a straight-jacket and put her away. Thank you
Robert johnson says
The university is wasting money keeping a nut like this in staff. She sounds like a true ding dong.
Marty Cz. says
Just grow up! Whimp.
Melanie Burns says
Can’t fix stupid Libtards! “It is difficult to free a fool from the chains they revere!”-Voltaire-
Thomas E Stanley says
Fire it!
Robert F says
I feel sorry for her. Would be best if she stayed under her desk all the time. And what is that crap she is “teaching”?
Thomas E Stanley says
I feel sorry for her students and this country – Just fire her!
JIM says
AND THIS IDIOT IS TEACHING OUR CHILDREN!!!
Belinda says
The frightening knowledge is that lerft wing LIBERALS are the majority of College
professors and many high school teachers as well. They do well at brainwashing our youths in their ideology!
NoraB says
OMG – she needs to “grow up”. She should feel “protected” to have ROTC on campus. What a whiner she is. What will she do when a terrorist comes into her classroom and assaults her and her students?
Brenda says
Sounds like this woman needs some serious counselling.
Fred Albumin says
What a whack job. Get her out of here…
Thomas E Stanley says
If they are fools enough, big enough wack jobs or anti-American enough the install them as teachers. You know hat they day “Those that can do, and those that can’t teach”
CCN says
She should be arrested for interference with authorities. This is a bitch teaching our young people. Fire her sorry ass.
JOHN KEENAN says
This woman obviously has serious emotional issues and should not be teaching in a classroom. Her employer should take responsibility and get this poor woman the medical help she desperately needs.
Carl says
Get her the Help she needs? a Straitjacket would be a good start.
Rick says
As a retired military and police officer someone should mention to this “Lady” that repeated calls to 911 are a criminal act/
Ronald W Upchurch says
This so-called professor needs to dealt with as any other 911 abuser for using the system for non emergency calls !!! She also should be terminated from her position at the Liberal College for trying to interfere with a person’s rights to serve our country through the Military !!
TexasMak says
I wonder how she would react if she lived near me where it is quite common to see men and women in uniform every day! Lackland AFB, Ft. Sam Houston, Randolph AFB and USNB Corpus Christi are right around the corner! I guess she would be digging a hole to hide in!!!! What a whack job she is!!! By the way, I am a college instructor myself!!!!
Alan Humphries says
Inducing panic by this scardy cat . She keeps calling 911 they will eventually get tired of her sorry azz and charge her. Hey parents with college kids,this is what is teaching your children.
DanS says
This is why our kids are growing up to be whiny liberals who think that it is ok to take money from hard working people and distribute it to those who would rather sit home and bitch about how their government and society owes them free healthcare, food stamps, free phones, etc. etc. This moron should not even be allowed near kids. My son is in ROTC and it has helped teach him respect and discipline.
Rollin says
Send her to ISIS.
THEY will cure her stress.
Joey says
Rollins:I Hear The “Front-Lines” Of LA,Chicago,And NYC Calling Her Name…
ricarrdo estavans says
Psychopath
Lynda Kelsoe says
She sounds like she needs to retire if she cannot tolerate events sanctioned by the university. The ROTC has been a vital part of most universities since universities began. One purpose of the ROTC is to prepare the members for a military career or service.
Maneuvers are part of their training. I think calling 911 is ridiculous. If she does not like what is happening at the university, she should get a job elsewhere. One person should not try to push her ideas on the entire university.
d short says
this is what is teaching young minds at universities all over the country. no wonder they are so wimpy and severely misinformed.
Betty says
time for a leave of absents for an insane professor She needs to be fired
armydadtexas says
There are criminal charges for what she is doing: FALSE REPORT TO A PEACE OFFICER.
Perhaps the delicate little leftist should find a job somewhere, where the ROTC is not already involved in the day to day happenings of the campus
J says
This sort of xenophobia is unacceptable from a supposed adult teaching college age adults. Her actions stir up fear as does her Hate Speech. Yes, lying is the worse form of Hate Speech and lying about her fears of those in uniform, whether Policeman or ROTC students, is merely a stunt to attract attention so she can spread more lies. Hummm since lying is the worse form of hate speech, what about those that practice and are good at telling lies?
jrenevitz says
this woman needs some serious help from the medical field and remove her from the teaching of the students, she is a loose cannon. professor or not she should be gone.
Capn Jack says
There, there now. Take these pills and we’ll take you some where you’ll be safe……
Luke says
I wonder if her desk would protect her from our enemies, what a loon and representative of the severe mental disease of liberalism..
Bert says
Another whacked out Liberal that needs a LIFE!!!!!
Arthur Hartsock says
All Universities today are trying to cut costs. Well, UND, you can cut the cost of this looney-tune’s salary. Send her the way of the Fighting Sioux mascot. Actually you should keep the mascot!! But certainly not her.
John Siemens says
It is those very same ROTC cadets, who when commissioned, will put their very lives on the line to protect this country and her right to live where and how she does. She needs to get over her insane phobias and realize that this world is a very dangerous place. Would she be willing to put her life on the line to protect any one of those cadets?
JOHN says
THIS WOMAN TOOK TOO MAY DRUGS IN COLLEGE, PROBABLY COMMUNITY COLLEGE AND SHE IS TEACHING OUR CHILDREN HOW TO BE GOOD SOCIALISTS , COMMUNISTS AND COWARDS
Albert Tusin says
If I were paying the tuition for my children at this school with this “instructor”, I would pull them out so fast their heads would spin. I would love to see what would happen to this “sicko” if she had to live in a Muslim world! She should get down on her knees and thank the R.O.T.C. For helping to train intelligent young men to protect our Country that allows such menopausal kooks to survive !
Don says
What a freak is this what our America is coming to when they let freaks like this teach our younger genration.
Richard Brazier says
This woman is part of
the problem with our college campuses
This woman and other Libtards are the problems with our college campuses.
Constitutionalist says
Based on what she’s teaching about – apparently Bettie Page and her flirtations w/BDSM and how that somehow relates to poetry – i expect that what she REALLY wants is a good spanking!
If she keeps calling 911, she’ll get one, but not the physical way she wants; she’ll likely have a heavy fine and lose her job…which will provide her with quite a long-lasting sting.
Maybe she’s also aware of the origin of the phrase “rule of thumb,” and can’t wait for her caning, either.
Justin W says
I want to see our military preparing to protect us. As we have seen with the Brussels terrorist attack we live in a dangerous world. Disarming is not a good idea at the present time. The professor can rest assured that our enemies will be armed. She can also be assured that terrorists will have no problem showing her who is boss if they ever appear on her college campus–and it won’t be her.
This woman calling 911 interferes with the chance for legitimate emergencies to get through. Not only is she making a fool of herself but she is possibly endangering the lives of people who need the attention of 911.
Bernie says
The college won’t fire her they are more than likely in courage her as they are all be bunch of sorry liberals too.
Constitutionalist says
Well, not yet; if this nutbar follows through with her threat to “call 911 ever time she sees them,” KNOWING IN ADVANCE that she’s wasting the time of the police, then “pressures” will certainly be brought to bear.
Of course, this emotionally hamstrung woman may have either a serious re-think of her stated position or get a “behind-the-woodshed” moment with her superiors and co-workers that will temper her foolish outbursts, too.
That’s the thing about the right to free speech; other people have that selfsame right, and the court of public opinion alone should provide the weight of evidence necessary to correct error – but if not, there are ACTUAL courts that will serve a similar purpose.
Pat says
This is why I am very hesitant to send my kids to these indoctrination camps,
Oh I ment to say college.
kevin says
FIRE THIS FUCKING BITCH RIGHT NOW
John Strom says
Amen.
Frank says
Charge her, haul her out in cuffs and do this each time with the same DA and judge handling her cases. 3rd or 4th time no bail and sit in jail..
John Donaghue says
She will have a change of heart when ISIS lands on U. S. soil, and turns her into a sex slave. She will not have adverse feeling to military uniforms.
Constitutionalist says
John-
She will have a change of heart when ISIS lands on U. S. soil
They’re already here, and more are coming every day; didn’t you hear about the converted UPS planes landing at out-of-the-way airports, taking the passengers in Homeland Security busses to unknown destinations?
and turns her into a sex slave.
Based on what she’s teaching, she may welcome such an eventuality – until it dawns on her that it’s no game, maybe.
She will not have adverse feeling to military uniforms.
Depends on her fantasies, apparently.
That said, i completely agree with your premise, which i assume to be that this woman is a nutbar with sprinkles who does not APPRECIATE those who lay their lives on the line so she can teach her nonsense in peace.
RD says
If she dials 911 again for this nonsense she should be immediately locked u
RD says
If she dials 911 again for this nonsense she should be immediately locked obstructing governmental administration.
John Garrity Jr says
The little girl that cried wolf. Someday she is going to need help. And everyone will think its another prank.
Carter Burger says
Not real sure how they do it in North Dakota, but here in Kentucky, when you call 911 to file a false report (which these phone calls she’s making are), you are usually arrested and charged with a crime. Is that not an option here?
Carter Burger says
Perhaps we should email the good professor and offer her any help?
[email protected]
Ric says
Next time we need Military, just send her and her English students in to handle the situation.
steve says
If i was a cop,,And if i get that call. Id arrest that professor on illegal use of 9-1-1
Rena says
Tell her to go to Brussels and call 911
john says
Geeeeeeez, she is as big a nut case as I am, in a 180 degree manner.
Daniel Gallo says
id like proof that this nit wit has a degree & where did she earn it . I mean really ? is this women sane ?
used to be a liberal says
Well this woman is just one of many who are living proof that liberalism is indeed a mental disorder. A paper cut to her would probably, in her mind, entitle her to a free ambulance ride to the emergency room, but if some-one really, really wanted to drive this woman over the edge, then into an insane asylum, just simply hide her cel-phone, smart phone, I phone, me phone, you phone, do phone, or any phone, just watch her run screaming down the hallways.
Jay Sadler says
Seems to me that we’ve already played out a similar scenario before at Kent State University way back in the spring of 1970. The ROTC was under attack by campus libtards and the Ohio National Guard stepped in and rectified matters. Those who don’t learn history are tempting fate to relive it. Chalk it up to paranoid schizophrenic libtardia. Now, somebody take her away before she gets something started.
Greg says
I sent this to Ms. Czerwiec, her email is:
[email protected]
Dear Mrs., Ms. Czerwiec,
I recently read an article referring to how stressed you were at seeing two ROTC cadets in camouflage dress, carrying weapons and performing maneuvers on campus. I understand from your comments that you were so stressed you had difficulty actually speaking. While I would like to write a letter deriding your unjustified reaction, I will refrain. According to the article and a number of statements made by students and the university, ample advance notice had been given to the entire campus, including faculty, weeks before. Because of the situation that we live in today, crazy people, media misleading the ignorant and in general, the populous at large, I can, in part, understand your concern and reaction. What I can’t understand is why you would insist on saying that,
“So I reply that I guess I’ll be calling 911 for the next couple weeks — and I will. Every time.”
I’m assuming that the above quote is correct, your words. I understand that you’re a writer so I’m assuming you know of the story about the little boy who cried wolf one time too many. I hope you don’t find yourself in a situation where you need to make a real call for help and due to previous ‘cries of alarm’, your calls go unheeded.
Those young men/women in uniform are the very people who would lay their life on the line to save yours. I don’t agree with many policies that our government justifies when they use our Armed Forces. However, I will support our soldiers, sailors, marines and all citizen soldiers at every turn. Actually, I think you should be PROUD when you look out your window and see young men/women training to possibly give their lives to protect yours or mine.
We live in a world where most of it would laugh while watching you, I or our entire country die in the agonies of death. In fact, they already have and continue to do so everyday. I can assure you, as long as the people you see on your campus are WALKING, carrying their weapons ON THEIR SHOULDERS and MARCHING, you can rest assured, they are not there to kill someone. God forbid but if you do ever see anyone with a weapon that intends you harm:
1. You’ll be fortunate to see them before you’re shot.
2. You’ll likely HEAR their gunfire long before you see them.
3. IF you have the opportunity to dial 911 you’ll be screaming for them to send someone just like the cadets you are bitching about to come and save your unpatriotic rear end.
4. Get a grip, get a life and learn to appreciate what we have as Americans. FREEDOM, . . . which is disappearing by the day because of opinions similar to yours.

Rick Worthington says
Precisely Greg! Well said indeed! This sorry-assed person should not be allowed to stay at the UND another minute longer! Surely she’s NOT a true American?
Rivahmitch says
Sounds like the bitch needs to resign. Since ROTC has been on the campus for years, she’s obviously just no longer able to cope with campus life and should leave NOW!
Ernst says
It is really sad and pitiful that this sick, crazy person is teaching our children. She will probably not be satisfied until we are all wearing the equivalent of Mao jackets.
If we allow the paranoia of every sick person to determine our activities, we will soon have no activities because everything can scare someone.
Martin Korab says
Those liberal communist teachers are planted in our school systems in the entire U.S. They are part of the communist agenda to change the way our young people think in this country. If you notice, the real history of our country is not being taught in our schools anymore. In fact it hasn’t been taught in our schools for a while now. The truth about our great country and it’s founding fathers is being suppressed and removed from our great halls of learning. I remember when the Russian leader Khrushchev took off his shoe while addressing the United Nations assembly and uttered the threat that the communists would take over our country without firing a shot while beating the desk in front of him with his shoe. Well guess what ? Why the hell do you think the communists are placing their communist teachers throughout the school systems of our country for ? Liz Warren only shows us what she and all the other communist teachers in our country were trained to do, and that is to take over the minds and indoctrinate the young minds of our most precious citizenry into the communist way of life. With the importation of drugs and the propaganda that the silent invaders are selling to our impressionable, party loving youth, the communists have in fact gained a huge foothold in our educational system and it shows that Khrushchev’s words of that day and time are coming true. We have no choice but to eliminate this threat and we will only do this if the country gets rid of the current Democrats that have infiltrated the whitehouse and the great halls of justice in this country. The liberal agenda of this country is the same as the communist agenda and that is to take over and make the rest of us subservient to their wishes. Liz Warren, Bernie, Obama, Pelosi, Reid, and the Clintons are all part of the master plan for the new world communist agenda which is being lead by their chief contributor, Soros. Wake up America, because if you don’t, when you finally do, it won’t be America any longer. God Bless and Save our country. Sincerely, Martin Korab.

I sit here at a loss of words to convey my thoughts. This educator with her hysterical comments elude any course of common sense or sanity. When she took employment with this school, she knew there was an ROTC on campus. She was informed week in advance the ROTC unit would be conducting exercises on campus. These young cadets is just a part of what might be a military non-commissioned officer or officer or part of some law enforcement agency to protect and defend the citizen. A hysterical socialist have no concept of what their liberal attitude and action does to destroy common sense and self respect. When a person has no self respect and pride in ones self, they cannot have the same for others.
Wade says
Hoplophobia in full effect.
“Hoplophobia is a political neologism coined by retired American military officer Jeff Cooper as a pejorative to describe an “irrational aversion to weapons.”[1][2][3] It is also used to describe the “fear of firearms”[4][5] or the “fear of armed citizens.”[6] Hoplophobia is a political term and not a recognized medical phobia.”
This poor women should not be teaching our young adults
She is very unbalanced/unstable. Even after being told it’s just the ROTC she has made it clear
she will continue to call 911! She needs a full mental work-up right now!
If she cry’s wolf again I hope she will be arrested!
Our school are so polluted with this liberal nonsense. It’s killing our nation.
Jim Speed says
You have to wonder how some people actually survived to adulthood when they pull stunts like this. Nobody could be this STUPID, well, possibly I guess since she NOW knows that ROTC drills all the time with rifles. We did, we used De-Milled (no longer functioning) M14’s for 3 years I was in it. We DID however carry REAL guns down the hall on the way to the rifle range.. nobody freaked out. Todays liberals are even bigger WEENIES than ever.
John Cabetini says
This has nothing to do with her being afraid. She knew weeks in advance that the ROTC would be be conducting maneuvers. This is about the Facility cutting some program or programs that she must feel are more important than ROTC. She’s just using this to thumb her nose at the University and get “her cause” noticed. She should be reprimanded. Better yet, she should just be fired. That’s what a liberal expects every time someone does something that they don’t approve of. Typical.
greg snyder says
Get off Heidi’s back you Right-Wing losers! Google her and read of her massive contributions to both the arts, culture, education and humanity. Don’t just react to her chubby goofy looks–that’s so typical of you. Don’t belittle her poetry like:
“I Praise the Circumference of Your Shaft”, or her coursework and groundbreaking research on 1950’s pin-up queens.
You wouldn’t understand anyway. Righty, your main problem is that you believe you live in the real world. Heidi’s an elite academic associate professor in North Dakota. You work the grease rack at Lube N Tune in Fat Chance, Missouri. You were busy working, fighting, raising kids, paying taxes. Heidi was in her parents’ basement and on the real frontlines like Ferguson, Missouri actually making this world a better place for all the kids whose lunch money you Rightys had stolen back in elementary school. She wanted to serve her country but quickly realized the enormous pain involved with a terroristic ROTC Unit. And so now, her greatest contribution of all:
Belittling her University, it’s bill-paying ROTC unit and herself by acting the Unrepentant Academic Fool–for your Right Wing pleasure. Go pick on something more worthy of your humble Righty talents. Just remember: Vet’s Lives Matter!
twykes says
What the hell kind of nuts are teaching our kids. What an idiot.
jessika says
I would Just like to say that I agree and disagree with the comments. I think that the campus and ROTC should have let the campus staff/911 know about the training before it started. I would rather have a over safe teacher teaching my child than one who was later seen on tv saying ” well I just assumed it was ROTC” as the bodies are wheeled out behind her. With that being said on the flip side now that she knows that this is going on she needs to chill out and let what goes on in other classes be in other classes cause there is a good chance that at least some of the students walking around with those guns will be defending her one day and everyone has something to say until IT (what ever threat it is) happens to them.
Dave Fisher says
Do we really need someone this emotionally fragile and unstable teaching our children.
