Pat Curley of Brainster on DePaul and Klocek

Pat Curley of Brainster is the oldest friend of this blog, going back to the "Blue States for Bush" and "Run for Bush" days of a year ago. Here is his insightful take on what is going on at DePaul, and for the most part, within liberalism as well.

As I have mentioned on several occasions, the Left analyzes everything with the same template: who's the oppressor, and who's the oppressed. This leads them to some ridiculous stances, such as their mindless support for the Palestinians. Looked at in this light, the suspension of Professor Klocek actually makes sense. Students=oppressed, teacher=oppressor. There are some advantages to using a template; it frees you from any real need to analyze the individual circumstances. Of course, the negative is inflexibility and ridiculous results, as in the Klocek case.
