“At Columbia University, its president, Lee Bollinger, picked up kudos for courage for having Iran’s president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad speak on campus.
It would “impoverish public debate” to exclude controversial speakers like Ahmadinejad, Bollinger said.
But apparently it did not “impoverish public debate” to have a representative of the Minuteman organization disrupted and shouted down with impunity at this same Columbia University earlier this year. The “courageous” Bollinger did nothing to punish those students who used storm trooper tactics to silence a point of view they did not like. “
Always “johhny on the spot” Sowell. He doesn’t necessarily say anything different than many FReepers, but he has an uncanny knack for “cutting to the chase”

Sowell always gets it right. And if the alumni are going to sit it out all the time, the radical faculty are going to end up controlling the billions of dollars in enedownment monies at these schools. The leftists are drowning everyone else out
Thats why Im in favor of Horowitz and what hes doing. There ought to be a bill of student rights enforced by congress, and imposed on universities that accept govt money. Diversity of opinion, not just skin color.
To: stephenjohnbanker
Some of Sowell's columns pull a lot of posts and some don't. His column on Nifong a little over three months ago
Unfinished Business was a great column and an active one.

You’re not the first to bring that up and it’s an excellent idea. If I were a candidate I’d be trying to sign him up.

That’s correct and I’m sure that’s why he’s never been involved in one.

He’s probably too smart to get involved in politics.
