Maybe a drop in alumni donations will elicit a much-needed evaluation of student activity expenditures.

"This is really a free speech issue," she said of the campus controversy. "The most important thing in college is to listen to different viewpoints and then you make up your mind. ... If we can shut people up and so easily intimidate them, then we’re back in the ’50s."

So? When are they inviting David Duke to speak?? How about
the head of the American Nazi party??

Colleges are very selective abuot the type of nutcases they invite to speak. Only anit-American, anti-white, anti-Christian type nutcases allowed. The other nutcases are barred.

Excellent! Then the next Billy Graham crusade will be on the Duke campus?

No? Oh, I forgot. "Hate speech" is different....

a woman it calls a convicted terrorist

I wonder why they call her that?

Could it be because she is a convicted terrorist?

"I have never been a terrorist," Whitehorn, 57, said in a telephone interview Monday night. Terrorists target civilians, she said.

ter·ror·ist n. One that engages in acts or an act of terrorism.

ter·ror·ism n. The unlawful use or threatened use of force or violence by a person or an organized group against people or property with the intention of intimidating or coercing societies or governments, often for ideological or political reasons.

Yep. You're a terrorist.

Funny, in most colleges if a CONSERVATIVE speaker is invited, the liberals start foaming at the mouth to get the invitation withdrawn. It's diversity if the speaker is liberal. It's hate speech if the speaker is conservative.

Kudos to the conservative Dukies! Give 'em a taste of their own medicine...

Terrorists only target civilians?!!! That is news. I sure the Israeli LEOs and military will be thrilled to here that.

Or, if we are to accept her premise, why the hell is Duke inviting an ATTEMPTED MURDERER!

"We would try to turn this into an educational experience.

If you call left wing propaganda "education".

When will our universities wake up to the pack of lies they're being brainwashed with?

The Duke Conservative Union is questioning why Laura Whitehorn -- a woman it calls a convicted terrorist

Let's see. The woman planted a bomb in a public place. It blew up. She was convicted of the crime. Yet, this so-called reporter still isn't convinced she's a terrorist.

No Bias here. Wonder if Mediawatch.org has this story yet.

Then why not invite all who have bombed or threatened to bomb abortion clinics?

After all, they should be allowed to share their viewpoints, right?
