At my school, we just held our beginning of the year convocation. Being a Catholic school we always hold it on Sunday. But this year we didn't--we held it on Saturday.

Now wait--the plot thickens.

We have always had great relationships with the Jewish community here. And there has always been a Rabbi and a cantor to make our services ecumenical.

But we are not going to get such if we hold the convocation on the Jewish Sabbath. A number of us commented on this and thought "gosh, what stupid planning."

Then, when we got in, I looked down at the program and saw--remember this is a Catholic school--"Readings from the Koran." And then I realized that an imam from a small mosque near the school was there. Said Imam then gave a mini-Sermon on the importance of education to Moslems(forget about readings from the Koran, this was a small speech.)

And then it hit me--the professor in charge of the convocation has publican praised students who fly the Palestinian flag and has had "teach-ins" about Zionist aggression. You couldn't pull off a stunt like this without the far-left wacko college president being part of it. So . . . .

Leftwing academics are despicable people.

You need to get people calling and writing the college President and the Board about it.
