What other criminals are invited to universities (aside from drug users, pornographers and other moral deviants) to extol the "virtues" of their crimes?

Mumia Abu Jamal, cop killer celebrity, gave a commencement speech over a loudspeaker to one of our esteemed institutions of higher learning, another, I forgot which, hired as a professor ex domestic terrorist Bernardine Dorhn, who said of the Tate-La Bianco murders, "offing the pigs with their own knives, far out! The Weathermen dig Charlie Manson!" Not to denigrate your point in any way, Wagglebee, it's just that some of our colleges and universities seem to take a perverse pleasure in hiring plenty of ratscum killers or would be killers to speak and teach.

Good point. However, the fact that many universities have become cesspools doesn’t mean that we should condone it.

That was the University of Illinois at Chicago, my alma mater, to which I will never donate a penny, nor will I give their scuzzy alumni association any donations. {spit}
