More Moonbat Central on Norman Finkelstein, plus Arthur Butz

Moonbat Central's Steven Plaut, as noted Sunday, has been quite supportive of Thomas Klocek's free speech struggle with Chicago's DePaul University. He takes a close Norman Finkelstein's course syllablus for Israel-Palestine Conflict in Historical Perspective. Among the course materials, according to Plaut, "...not a single pro-Israel voice of dissent is permitted to be aired. Where are the rights of DePaul students to hear all sides of an issue? Why are they not being defended against Finkelstein's podium bullying?'

About a dozen miles north of DePaul's Lincoln Park campus lies Northwestern University, where, noted on a separate Sunday post, admitted Holocaust denier Arthur Butz is an engineering professor. Plaut discovered that Butz--who is not allowed by NU to discuss holocaust denial in the classroom--touts his Holocaust denial book here, on a Northwestern University web site.
