Money quote:

The publication immediately sparked controversy, with students and alumni objecting to both the authors’ anonymity as well as their stances on current issues

In fact, a March 7 letter addressed to the “faculty behind Excalibur” collected more than 100 signatures and claimed that “in an anonymous publication, the authors have no credibility, however deserving they may be.”

Tell that to James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, and John Jay.

Become an underground publication and there will be no shortage of readers.

The student newspaper The Echo also joined in the discussion, condemning Excalibur for remaining anonymous.

“Anonymity does not provide adequate means of contact. This, in turn, robs those with counter insight the space to meet with the writer and voice their thoughts,” The Echo’s Editorial Board wrote.

BS.

They want to know who to get fired.

Nothing like the smell of fascism EVERY morning, eh?

to articulate “conservative stances boldly, extensively, and without fear of editorial filter,”

Nothing says "boldly" and "without fear" like shutting down publication because some snowflakes cried.

....temporarily suspending publication for striking “fear in some students.”

So I suppose they're scared of the title "Excalibur" ??? Suggestion a weapon ???

I read the newssheet. Fabulous writing in support of the Christian foundation of our republic. Of course the truth drives the Left nuts.

APV leaders ping!

If you go to the article itself, there are some blurred out pages from the banned publication; I was able to drag them to my desktop and read the articles. These Christian professors/authors are being made to cower at a so-called Christian college for their apostolic faith worldview. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
