It amazes me to no end to see just how narrow minded these "educated" people have become. I've really seen a transformation of the university system over the years become so twisted in promoting the concept of thought and debate. It's only of value to them now when it agrees with their philosophy. Case in point would be the latest fiasco at Fordham University. They rescinded an invitation to Ann Coulter to speak at this "Catholic" university, but still thought it appropriate to invite prof. Peter Singer, who advocates the killing of the unborn, but also sex with animals. Good grief!
