Poster sparks dispute at WMU
--posted by Tony Garcia on 4/11/2005OK...a conservative professor has a far-left student enter their class to complain about the Michael Moore poster that the professor (a) tore down and (b) was encouraging students to tear down more. The conservative professor and the liberal student exchange words and then the conservative professor pushes the liberal student.
What happens next? My guess is that the professor would be compelled to apologize in order to prevent immediate dismissal. The professor would be allowed to then finished the academic year and will be out of a job by summer.
Reverse the roles and what will happen. I guarantee nothing will happen to Western Michigan University woman studies professor Edie Fisher.
Another sample of the leftist hypocrisy in higher education. It is OK to have posters advertising Michael Moore but not Pat Buchannan. Worse than that...the very far-left who hide behind "academic freedom" and marketplace of ideas are the ones who support silencing conservative viewpoints.

Thanks for posting your link on SCSU Scholars. I wouldn't have seen your blog or the article without it.
Thanks for your blog. I will be relying on it for SCSU faculty updates if we end up on the air on KNSI.
This is Douglas at Belief Seeking Understanding. I concur that it's good that you mentioned this. I'm mentioning your post on my April 14 Podcast
