Thomas Klocek Roundup

OK, here's the roundup on the Thomas Klocek railroading:

1. Solomania notes that Thomas Klocek was not only denied a hearing but that the DePaul student newspaper was banned from interviewing anyone on Klocek's side. DePaul University's new motto: "Freedom of speech is whatever we decide it is." He also has a post with links to relevant newspaper articles, press releases, etc.


2. Commander Salamander notes

   That being said, it is no surprise that at the home of Fascist oppression in America, AKA academia, they would try to silence an opposing view. I will bet a per diem check that Depaul never suspended a professor for challenging pro-Israel issues, pro-Bush, pro-American, pro-Capitalism, pro-Reagan opinions.

   He also says this is why he blogs anonymously.


3. The Rocky Mtn News notes the double standard between Ward Churchill and Thomas Klocek:

   If Hoffman had bothered actually to look into the sort of professors who are being disciplined these days for speech, she would have noticed that they tend to be scholars who offend the likes of Churchill, not parrot his views. Most resemble Thomas Klocek of DePaul University - professors who dare to upset a faction of the political left. Professor Klocek was censored and suspended after making "offensive" comments during an outside- the-classroom argument last fall with a group called Students for Justice in Palestine.

   Why is Churchill the national poster boy for beleaguered academic freedom and not Klocek?



4. Here is his profile on Rate My Professor


5. Jay Ambrose has an excellent article comparing Churchill, Larry Summers, and Klocek:

   The new McCarthyism, you see, aims to deter thought from what certain elitists deem appropriate, to corral supposedly errant expressions in the name of peace and compassion but in the spirit of despotism. Just as the old McCarthyism could be hurtful in its search for Stalinists infiltrating Hollywood, government and beyond, the new McCarthyism can cost people in their lives. Consider, for instance, Thomas Klocek, a professor at DePaul University who made so bold as to debate students who were maintaining that Israel was Hitler-like in its treatment of Palestinians and was later suspended without a hearing.

   The most politically correct of our universities seem airless places, closed off from much of the energy and vigor of the rest of this rambunctious, heterogeneous, frontier-fostered continental nation of ours, and thus we see them prohibiting free speech by students, denying aspirants tenure because they might entertain a conservative thought or two or practicing a form of affirmative action that is nothing less than a quota system of racial preferences.

One final note: A bunch of visitors are coming from a lefty site which calls Ben Meyer a "moderate." Here is a point to ponder: exactly how rational is a point of view of a blog that happily quotes from one of the greatest mass murderers of all time?
