Right - this is what upset me the most. They can do and say whatever they (the left) want but if a Conservative speaks out on the abuse, this is what happens,

Imagine that! He "flipped his thumb under his chin," and that's "menacing" behavior. These people truly are sick. They blow up innocent schoolkids, then whine when someone gives them the Jewish equivalent of the Bird.

What this Australian can't fathom is why would a catholic University enroll muslim students? Or should I be asking, why would muslim students enroll in a catholic learning establishment?
Either way, one or the other isn't sincere, to say the least.
A catholic university that takes the side of 'palestinians' is quite obviously antisemitic.
A muslim who enrolls in a catholic university, wouldn't he/she be committing apostasy?

Is DePaul University catholic in anything but name? Are the faculty Marxists, using this establishment purely for financial, (tax exempt) gain?

I'm so disgusted with De Paul. It will be interesting how they handle this event if the story gets legs.

If the story does catch the eye of the new media, De Paul will not know what hit it. And De Paul will deserve everything it gets. Can't wait to read about it in FPM.com. ;)

So far, my daughter, a student at DePaul, has not heard a word of this except from me. Most students are apparently focused on just their classes and don't know what is happening anywhere else.

The most note-worthy item from my daughter's point of view is that the DePaul professors she has had are far below the level of the professors she had at DeVry and Harper Community.

They don't seem to have the knowledge of the subject they are trying to teach. They don't seem to have the cognitive ability to work through a syllogism. They don't seem to have ever done homework themselves or expect serious thought from their students. The assignments are to express how they feel about Java and computers; How they feel about the Catholic church and gays or the Catholic church and .......
