A college in upstate New York reversed its decision to go ahead with a scheduled Feb. 12 speaking appearance by Scott Ritter, citing disruption caused by the controversy surrounding the former U.N. weapons inspector.
As WorldNetDaily reported, Schenectady County Community College trustees had decided earlier this week to hold the event despite recent reports that the outspoken critic of President Bush's Iraq policy was arrested two years ago and charged with attempting to meet an under-aged girl for a sexual encounter.
The school announced today, however, that it has canceled the speech because of the disruptions to school operations caused by the controversy and the need for extraordinary security, said NBC television affiliate WNYT in Albany, N.Y.
Earlier this week, trustee Michael Karl told the Schenectady Daily Gazette that the speech would go ahead as scheduled.

Buettner says the school has received some complaints about Ritter's appearance. "We've gotten e-mails and calls from people who are upset," he said.

Maybe he can give his talk at the Burger King. Besides, those college girls are too old for him anyway.

Apparently Scott is trying to reschedule the meeting with some of the cheerleaders at the local Junior High.

This sick freak spoke at my son's high school a few months ago. At the time I wondered why he bothered to address a bunch of teenagers. Now I know why.

Interesting times....

Schenectady County Community College trustees had decided earlier this week to hold the event despite recent reports that the outspoken critic of President Bush's Iraq policy was arrested two years ago and charged with attempting to meet an under-aged girl for a sexual encounter. The college was happy to invite Ritter to speak when he was still endangering the security of all Americans.
But they "uninvited" him when the atmosphere of their own little campus was endangered.
They have no moral rudder.
