What a racist remark! And it smacks of the old Soviet treatment of dissidents, calling them insane and confining them to mental institutions/prisons.
Call NPR and demand that Vivian Schiller be fired for her racist remarks about Juan Williams.

Vivian Luisa Schiller, a vice president of TBS Productions, and Phillip Jeffrey Frank, a senior producer at CNN, both in Atlanta, were married there yesterday evening. Rabbi Steven Lebow officiated at the Colony Square Hotel.
Ms. Schiller, 30 years old, is keeping her name. She graduated from Cornell University and has a master’s degree in Russian from Middlebury College.
Perfect fit. Her undergraduate degree was in Russian and Soviet studies. Graduate degree in Russian.
“Smacks of the old Soviet treatment.” Indeed!
From her bio. The last paragraph tells the tale.
Perhaps when Congress defunds NPR, she can get a job with Novosti Press.

The leftists in the psychiatric profession already DO have a “disorder” that fits the bill for classifying dissent as a psychosis.
They call it “Oppositional Defiant Disorder”.
Sure, dissenting against tyranny is a “disorder”,
but having a sexual desire for the same sex is not.
