Klocek and FIRE seminar in Beverly Hills Oct 25


Fired DePaul University Professor Thomas Klocek and Greg Lukianoff, the president of FIRE, the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, will speak at a seminar sponsored by the American Freedom Alliance.

The event is entitled "The Demise of Free Speech in Academia, Anti-Semitism ,and the Marginalization of Christian Groups on Campus" and is taking place at the Nessah Educational Center, 142 S. Rexford Drive, Beverly Hills, California.

Regular Marathon Pundit readers are aware that Klocek was an adjunct professor for 15 years at Chicago's DePaul University, America's largest Catholic college, until he was fired for expressing pro-Israel views in front of some DePaul Muslim students. FIRE has been a great supporter to Klocek and other individuals who've seen their academic freedom challenged.

Admission is $15.00, but just $10.00 for students.
