Have You Told UNC Chancellor Holden Thorp To Resign? Why NOT? (Freep Holden Thorp Again! Some more!)

Here is the flier circulating on UNC-Chapel Hill Campus about which Chancellor Holden Thorp HAS NOTHING to say!

Apparently to falsely label a Professor Emeritus in good standing as a White Supremacist and “suggest” neighbors and friends “contact him” at his home address is just ordinary campus rhetoric-all in good fun.

When the Professor *all in good fun* “suggests” he is a crack shot he is summarily reprimanded and removed as advisor to a student group!

Good Grief! The Chancellor of a major University no longer feels compelled to even go through the motions of impartiality any

Is it just me or is it true if an anonymous flier like this appeared about Obama or even the Chancellor himself, the FBI would be dusting every copy they could find for fingerprints in order find the perpetrators instead of firing the Professor for a flip comment about shooting unannounced visitors to his home?

Is it not a requirement of "Civil Discourse" that materials distributed on campus be attributable to some group or contactable address?

Even Zorro signed his name with a "Z"

I guess Bolsheviks are just cowards, like the um, Nightriders of yore.

What is the YWC?

I have tried to understand what this is all about. Try again to state the case against the professor, what exactly he was responding to with his remarks, what are the facts about his being accused of being racist?

Youth For Western Civilization. They are the kids who brought Tom Tancredo to UNC last April when protestors stopped his speech and broke a window with a rock.

Michelle Malkin went ballistic about it (the April incident) on her blog.

Here is the first post about Cramer from last week:

I guess if you have followed this little drama you are steeped in it and if not, you might be a little confused.

A Western Civilization group. Which we all know should not be allowed to exist because West. Civ. is evil and does no good. /sarc

What do you expect from a place with a memorial garden dedicated to Paul Wellstone?

[Vanders9]

And what exactly does Youth for Western civilisation actually do, apart from invite people to universities for lectures?

Apparently become the target for leftist ire.

That alone should make them valuable.

Obviously.

There is a fine line between pride in your own culture and contempt for others, which we stray over at our peril. But the left never seems to be held accountable when they hold other cultures up but have nothing but contempt for their own. Odd that.
