The following violence is supported --and encouraged-- by President Bacow and the proIslamicNazi Administration of Tufts University (2007).

Very interesting - and I think the writer has a strong point - whatever this is it cannot be harassment. It is an affront to free speech. But then I guess that isn’t the authorities concern.

Ping for later so I can send Bacon or whatever his name is an email... I suggest everyone reading this article do the same.

Starman417 can you keep us appraised of developments with the fascist dictatorship at Tufts?

Oh definitely.....no way I let these yahoo’s off the hook by forgetting about it. We need to get their email addresses and numbers and let them know that printing FACTS, that may be unflattering to Islam, is NOT harassment.

In a totalitarian regime such as an American university, the truth doesn’t matter.
In fact, the regime requires its subjects to state lies, if the lies are in keeping
with the goals of the regime.
Also, the words “conservative student newspaper” are the tipoff that nothing they do will be acceptable to the stalinist regime of the university.

It’s all a window into the leftist mind. It shows that, once leftists get into power,
they use their power to suppress opposing views. The American people have elected leftists. They will now get a few years of totalitarian, stalinist mind-control.
Next time they will have to use their heads.

The “university” is of course requiring a “diversity” of opinions in their universal indoctrination ....

Well, all diversity except truth.

Thank you for posting this. I sent the following e-mail to President Bacow. I will report back if I receive any response. This is an important event at Tufts. If the Administration there doesn't get a clue, the alumni should attack them legally and financially until they are forced to change, or forced to leave.

Dear President Bacow,

I read with distress about the disciplinary decision about The Primary Source.

I speak as a lawyer who practiced First Amendment law in the US Supreme Court for thirty-three years. Tufts receives federal assistance. Therefore, such decisions are partly government associated. Therefore, it is a classic civil rights violation for Tufts to shut down the freedom of speech of this, or any other publication.

I suggest that you, as President of the University, see to it that this egregious decision is reversed as quickly as possible, or prepare for a law suit in which the University will lose a large amount of money, deservedly so.

Mind you, I do not represent any parties in this matter, nor do I seek to do so. I'm just letting you know, in case your own counsel have not given you the same message, that your institution is in big trouble, and it is your responsibility to ask properly and quickly.

Sincerely,

/s/

John Armor, Esq.

No students of conservative families should return to this school for next year’s term.

_____________________________________________

I do believe that the poster meant that the University's position is an afront to free speech. At least that's how I read it, although it was ambiguous.

I’m a graduate of Tufts. That place is a STALINIST GULAG.

Is this a public domain cartoon? It is excellent.
