AFTER FINKELSTEIN, TIME TO THINK ABOUT KLOCEK. From Salon:
"What other purpose does a university serve, if not to throw ideas around, argue, debate and fight for one’s own point of view? The University president is probably a rigid, uptight, conservative Catholic priest who is attempting to satisfy his constituents rather than preserve the sanctity of freedom of speech.

What makes the Finkelstein episode even more irrational is that Thomas Klocek who taught at DePaul for 14 years also was abruptly fired for the “crime of speaking of the pro-Israel, anti-Palestinian” party line." [Emphasis added]
More on the case of Thomas Klocek here at Marathon Pundit.
There is a petition to sign on behalf of Thomas Klocek, which is 33 short of its goal of 2000 signatures.

Please sign the petition.
