We Might Let Horowitz Appear If He Has Three Keepers

St. Louis University, a Catholic institution, continues on a path designed to made it a laughingstock in the annals of academic freedom, maintaining its ban on yours truly while proclaiming its commitment to intellectual diversity and… academic freedom.

From Inside Higher Ed:

David Horowitz can’t seem to get into Saint Louis University no matter how hard he tries.

Six months ago, the university blocked a student organization from bringing Horowitz to the university for one of his talks about “Islamo-fascism.” Horowitz is a conservative critic of higher education as well as a wide range of other sectors of society. The university said at the time that it didn’t want Horowitz to talk on campus in a way that could be divisive (as many of Horowitz’s critics have said his talks on Islam tend to be). Students also reported that they were told by university administrators that they didn’t want Horowitz speaking without someone who would offer contrasting views.

The liberals have seized the levers of power in almost all of our academic institutions. First the departments, then the deanships, then the president’s office. Almost all of them are monolithically leftist, and no other views are permitted.

Unfortunately, the Jesuits just loved this, and went along with it at an early stage. Fr. Jenkins at Notre Dame is a typical example.

Students also reported that they were told by university administrators that they didn’t want Horowitz speaking without someone who would offer contrasting views.

And yet Cornel West, self avowed Socialist and Palestinian sympathizer, speaks at SLU on Feb 11th without "someone who would offer contrasting views.":

As each passing day goes by, I’m more and more convinced that this country is headed towards total failure.

The Catholic Church has become so politically progressive that it practices a :”stifle your intellect” policy.

My college, also a Jesuit School, was subject to a slap down by the highest court in New York state.

SYRACUSE, N.Y., January 19, 2006—A New York appeals court has determined that Le Moyne College wrongly removed graduate student Scott McConnell from its education program for endorsing corporal punishment in class.”

Leroy: exactly. And this is what happens all the freaking time.
