DePaul Professor Story Getting Some NoticeOur buddy John Ruberry
has been blogging on the sad story of Dr Thomas Klocek, the DePaul University professor who has been suspended without pay apparently for having the effrontery to argue with some pro-Palestinian students. John points out that the university apparently doesn't mind anti-Israeli and anti-Jewish viewpoints, as it hired the noted Holocaust revisionist Norman Finkelstein.
The good news is that the story has started to attract the attention of some of the bigger blogs out there. Roger L. Simon
has now posted twice
on this story.
Interestingly, Klocek himself is Catholic, not Jewish, so his support for Israel appears to be intellectually based and not an artifact of family ties or a cultural affinity for the Jewish state.
