Thomas Klocek Interviewed!

Bobby Maddex of the Crux Project interviewed suspended DePaul professor Thomas Klocek recently. The interview is here, and well worth your time to read about Klocek free speech struggle from the professor himself

Here is my favorite paragraph:

I think a cultural shift has taken place at all American universities. Some time ago, the purpose of a university was the free and unfettered exchange of ideas, no matter how controversial or contrary those ideas were to your own. And I think that in that kind of free interplay, we tried to get at that slippery slope called truth. And then we tried to go beyond truth to wisdom. The wise person is supposed to be the ultimate product of a university education. Starting in the Sixties, however, this situation was replaced by agenda groups and political correctness. Instead of a common American agenda here with common values, we have espoused in the name of diversity a great deal of misinformation. We now have competing ethnic and racial agendas in this country that are dangerously close to creating disunity. We have encouraged a misguided political correctness in which groups become victims, in which people become aggrieved instead of true individuals and adults.

Very well thought out and very right on the mark. In my conversations with Professor Klocek, I came up with one great word to describe him: erudite.
