Thomas Klocek, the fired DePaul professor whose cause I've championed since pretty much the first day of this blog, explains how he was trampled by DePaul's politically-correct hammer in a Quicktime video by Grant Crowell.

(It takes a while for the video to download.)

Klocek made the mistake of challenging the ossified political beliefs of some Muslim students--who view themselves an a protected class--at a student activities fair in 2004.

There's a Ward Churchill tie-in, as the professor asks Ward to speak up for his free speech rights, too.

But Pirate Ballerina (the site where I found the video), has filed this in his "Don't Hold Your Breath Department."

The video ends with some pretty good Neil Young music. (Yeah, I know he hates Bush now...)

Why do these people feel like their free speech has been denied them? Nobody is trying to kill these guys or have them jailed. neither of them has lost their free speech rights.
