Academic Freedom Only Goes So Far

It's good to know that there are limits to how far our college professors are willing to go in the pursuit of academic freedom. For example, while it's perfectly OK to say that the folks in the WTC were "little Eichmanns" who probably deserved to die, we certainly can't stand for a librarian recommending a right wing book! Why, that would be harassment!

And certainly, having a professor on campus who teaches that 9-11 was a BushCo conspiracy is the mark of a truly open institution of learning, as is stealing the entire press run of the campus conservative newspaper. After all, freedom of expression is reserved only for those who say what we want them to say, right?
