MENACED BY....DEBATE (Ohio Univ's conservative book list begets lefty sexual harassment charge)
NY POST ^ | April 19, 2006 | ARNOLD AHLERT

Posted on 04/19/2006 7:59:18 AM PDT by Liz

Scott Savage, reference librarian for Ohio State University --- suggested four best-selling conservative books for freshman reading......and is being investigated by the university - for sexual harassment.

Three professors filed the discrimination and sexual harassment charges, saying the books Savage suggested -"The Marketing of Evil" by David Kupelian, "The Professors" by David Horowitz, "Eurabia: The Euro-Arab Axis" by Bat Ye'or and "It Takes a Family" by Senator Rick Santorum - made them feel "unsafe."

Savage contends he made the suggestions after other committee members recommended books with a left-wing slant. The school's faculty voted - without dissent - to allow the individual professors to file charges.

EXCERPT: ADF Media Relations | 480-444-0020
http://www.alliancedefensefund.org/news/story.aspx?cid=3724


On March 28, the Alliance Defense Fund (ADF) sent OSU officials a letter informing them of Savage’s constitutional rights. A copy of the letter can be read at www.telladf.org/UserDocs/OSUMansfieldletter.pdf.

The university so far has declined to stop the investigation, saying in its response that it takes “any allegation of sexual harassment seriously.”

“The OSU Mansfield faculty is attempting to label a librarian as a ‘sexual harasser’ because they disagree with his book suggestions”...... “It is astonishing that an entire faculty would vote to launch a sexual harassment investigation because a librarian offered book suggestions in a committee whose purpose was to solicit such suggestions.”

NOTE: ADF is a legal alliance defending the right to hear and speak the Truth through strategy, training, funding, and litigation. www.telladf.org

Book-burning was a fave activity of "the (gag) enlightened ones."

As I mentioned in an earlier post on this subject, hese professors should, indeed, feel unsafe if they are disciples of Michel Foucault, Jacques Derrida, Herbert Marcuse, or Antonio Gramsci.

I could be in trouble. Yesterday, thanks to the efforts of yours truly, Horowitz's The Professors became available at the public library where I work as a reference librarian.

I bought the Marketing of Evil yesterday. So far it's very good. I guess their students are only supposed to read the classics like The Communist Manifesto and Mein Kampf.

This is one of the best things that could have happened to the recommended books. Now they will have more attention and more people will buy them - we owe the lefty profs a word of thanks.

"Scott Savage, reference librarian for Ohio State University --- suggested four best-selling conservative books for freshman reading......and is being investigated by the university - for sexual harassment...

Three [female] professors filed the discrimination and sexual harassment charges, saying the books ... made them feel unsafe. "

We have known this was coming all along. Sexual harrassment rules were never about what is right and were always about politics. I remember my first training on SH 15 years ago. "Sexual harrassment is defined in the eyes of the harrassed." Huh? Excuse me? If she thinks she's harrassed, then she is?

But, gladly, the rest of the nation has caught on to this fraud, and the ACLU does not reign supreme anymore. The fact that the three profs claim to be harassed by the act is a sign of their desperation.

The Marketing of Evil sounds like another good title to add to our library's circulating collection.
