[Fish out of Water]

The point I was trying to make was that being a private school Ithaca should have a lot more flexibility in what speech they allow. If we start trying to dictate what choices Ithaca has to make we are opening up a can of worms that the liberals will use against us. Being a private school Ithaca should be allowed great latitude in deciding who comes and speaks on their campus and on what subjects. It would be nice if they were more open minded but we have no right to force them to be. Any reasoning we might try to require their tolerance of other ideas could be used to force Private Christian schools to allow unchristian ideas to be freely taught and discussed.

But, but, there were some people at Ithaca who WANTED to hear Bay Buchanan speak.....that's why I don't understand what you say.....WHO gets to decide, in other words, about who's speech is OK, and who's is not? (Who's speech is right, and who's speech is wrong?)

I bet you the student handbook mentions something about "supporting academic freedom". Well, that would be engaging in false advertising.
