Despite the Columbia University
President's tough words, inviting a dictator and terrorist to speak at his
campus was, at best, still a horribly conceived idea. Yes, we want debate; yes
we cherish dialogue and free speech -- but, like all of our freedoms, there is a
line. Would Fidel Castro be welcome on your campus? How about Kim Jong Il or
Osama Bin Laden? You have the right to give enemies of our country a platform to
speak, but you have a responsibility to not give them a platform for propaganda.
Unfortunately, the Real Story is that our colleges have lost touch with not only
that concept, but also with simple common sense. In a few weeks, Hofstra Law
School is hosting a Legal Ethics Conference. While I doubt they appreciate the
irony of that title, it's one of the names on their speakers list that really
caught my eye: Lynne Stewart. Does that name ring a bell? She was the civil
rights attorney who was disbarred and sentenced to over two years in prison for
smuggling messages from her scum-bag terrorist client out of jail and then
delivering them to an Egyptian terror group!
A disbarred, disgraced, convicted-felon former attorney speaking at a university
ethics conference; and people still wonder why I'm worried about what they're
teaching our kids in college.
