Days after canceling a speaking engagement to a best-selling author who helped a friend commit suicide, a Jesuit university says it will review policies that govern how and why it invites certain speakers to campus.

IOW - how do we invite dissenting speakers without the risk of losing valuable contributions to the university.

"We don't teach our students what to think," Schlegel told the Omaha World-Herald. "We teach them how to think."

He's lucky St. Ignatius Loyola isn't alive, I'll put it that way.

According to the order, part of a Jesuit university's mission is to remain in good standing with the Catholic bishop.

Well, if you're going to have ideals, aim high!

"Remain in good standing with the Catholic bishop" -- does that mean not get publicly excommunicated? ;-)

Ann Coulter can speak to this.

One would think that if someone fed another person poison it would appropriatedly be called 'murder'.

The debasement of the language continues unabated.

“We don’t teach our students what to think,” Schlegel told the Omaha World-Herald. “We teach them how to think.”

BUT, we don’t teach them what the Church teaches and why and we don’t teach Thomistic philosophy and we mush up their brains with mushy speakers from the secular world.

Oh yeah. And we teach modernist theology.
