Chicago Magazine does puff-piece on DePaul University

As the first anniversary of the suspension of DePaul professor Thomas Klocek approaches, DePaul's media relations forces are preparing for the event the best way they can. By convincing local media outlets to produce "touchy-feely" human interest stories to deflect attention from the ugly side of Chicago's DePaul University.

The September issue of Chicago Magazine is out, and nt it is an article entitled "Happy U;" it's the typical "Gee, this is a wonderful college" hagiography that results when "journalists" are directed by PR people.

In the article, you'll find no mention of the Thomas Klocek incident. This Richard Baehr article, DePaul's Jihad Against Academic Freedom sums up that "Unhappy U." story.

Also missing from the "Happy U" piece is any mention of anti-Israeli Professor Norman Finkelstein, a DePaul political science professor who the Anti-Defamation League has called a holocaust denier.

Another article omission is that of Professor Aminah Beverly McCloud. She's the director of Director of the Islamic World Studies Program (IWSP) at DePaul. She's also a member of Louis Farrakhan's anti-Semitic and anti-White Nation of Islam.

One of the tenets of this faith is that 6,000 years ago, an evil scientist named Yacoub created the equally evil race of Caucasians. Does McCloud believe this to be true?

DePaul University is America's largest Catholic University, and it's not a Happy U.

Note: The Chicago Magazine article about "Happy U" is not available online. Most newstands and magazine racks in the Chicago area have copies for sale.
