Steven Plaut on Klocek, Finkelstein, and DePaul

Professor Steven Plaut of Israel has been extremely supportive Thomas Klocek and his free speech battle with DePaul. He's gone the extra mile, or should I say, kilometer, in exposing other serious problems at DePaul. Primary among them is the employment of Norman Finkelstein as a political science professor at DePaul. Finkelstein has been called a holocaust denier by the Anti-Defamation League, yet DePaul's president defends his free speech rights. (But not Klocek's).

From Professor Plaut's Moonbat Central post this morning:

DePaul has some bizarre notions of free speech. While its President Dennis H. Holtschneider publicly defends the employment of Finkelstein as a professor, defends the operation on campus of a Bash-Israel propaganda show dressed up as an art exhibit and the performance on the Catholic University campus of the "Vagina Monologues", he has repeatedly denounced Klocek and defended the firing of Klocek because Klocek expressed politically incorrect views.
