Tomorrow is the 2nd anniversary of the Thomas Klocek incident at DePaul University. Klocek, a 15-year adjunct at Chicago's DePaul University, was fired after engaging some Muslim students in an out-of class discussion.
Free speech at DePaul? No way.
The University of Colorado's Ward Churchill, who may be fired soon of plagiarism and fabrication incidents committed by the "Native American" professor, has a tribe (couldn't resist) of supporters who are leaning on the free speech pillar to, in the words of their petition, "Unfire Ward Churchill."
Eight DePaul professors have signed that petition. They are:
Christine Tardy, Professor, Department of English
Matthew Abraham, Professor, Department of English.
Flora Anderson-Chestnut, Coordinator, Department of Student Affairs.
Harvette Grey, Executive Director, DePaul University Cultural Center
(Note: It was Grey's office who invited Churchill to for that disastrous speaking appearance at DePaul's Student Activities Center, pictured, last fall.)
Nicole Perez, Staff Contact, Office of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Questioning, and Allies
Ann Russo, Associate Professor, Program Director, Women's and Gender Studies
Aminah Beverly McCloud, Professor of Religious Studies.
(Notes: Dr. McCloud was one of the academics listed in David Horowitz' book, The Professors: The 101 Most Dangerous Academics in America.
Also, McCloud has ties to CAIR, the Council on American and Islamic Relations.)Heidi J. Nast, Assistant Professor, The International Studies Program
As for the Reinstate Thomas Klocek at DePaul Petition, only four DePaul University professors, and no DPU officials, have signed that petition. None of the DePaul people who signed that liar Ward Churchill's petition have signed the Klocek's petition.
Free speech at DePaul? No way.
More on DePaul tomorrow. Huge hat tip to Jim over at Pirate Ballerina!
