Is this Hitler's Germany - You ever see a news story that makes you go, "Huh? What country do I live in?"
The previous post combined with this news item has me asking that question today.
University attacks student for reading this book.
The gist is that a student of Indiana University-Purdue University at Indianapolis was reading a book he checked out of the school library and they got upset and charged him with racial harassment.
What was the university library book you ask?
A history book.
Notre Dame Vs. the Klan: How the Fighting Irish Defeated the Ku Klux Klan
Here's a snippet from the report on WND:
"This looks like a classic example of a college making things worse in an unprincipled attempt to save face," Shibley said. "IUPUI’s own letters to Sampson made clear that his reading a book about the Ku Klux Klan was the problem, and the university claims to have completely exonerated him of all charges. If so, why are its spokespeople now telling The Wall Street Journal that the problem was really some other mysterious conduct that the university will not reveal to anyone, including Sampson himself?"
The Rabinowitz commentary called the case "a pungent reminder of all that's possible now in the rarefied ideological atmosphere on our college campuses – and in this presidential election year, not perhaps only on our campuses."
Click over to read the report. It's very strange and hard to believe such a thing is taking place in an America university where education I thought was supposed to be a encouraged. But then such a happening might explain why the two people in my last post didn't know what a black hole was.
