As regular readers of this blog know, Marathon Pundit was a very early supporter of Thomas Klocek's free speech battle with DePaul University.
Today, the excellent Illinois conservative online journal, the Illinois Leader reprinted an American Thinker article by friend-of-the-blog Richard Baehr.
As strange as it seems, the local media has largely ignored this story of injustice. Well, maybe it's not strange, but the national media has indeed done a better job of covering the Klocek story. AP ran published an article about it before the Chicago Sun-Times and the Chicago Tribune viewed the Klocek free speech battle as newsworthy.
September 15 will mark the first anniversary of the incident (Professor Klocek attempting to have a rational discussion on Middle Eastern politics with some pro-Palestinian students) that led to his suspension and de-facto firing.
More Klocek posts will follow as the first anniversary of his suspension approaches.
