Liberal Hate-Speech at UT: An Update
UT blogger Adam Groves has two updates on the hate-speech scandal at the University of Tennessee. It looks like the university is not gonna do much about it... and in fact has responded by attacking the free-speech rights of the College Republicans. After you read that posting of Adam's, be sure to scroll down for more good stuff on his blog. He's all over the story. Instapundit has weighed in too.

There are two separate issues in this brouhaha. First, the fact that the "Issues Committee," a UT campus organization funded by the university that is supposed to present a "balanced" slate of speakers in fact presents mosly liberal speakers. Second, when called on it by a student newspaper columnist who happens to be a Sikh, one of the members of that organization sent an email that urged the murder of the columnist. The death-threat writer now says it was "taken out of context." As to the first, the solution is either to force the IC to present a balanced slate of speakers, or to allow the IC to be openly liberal and create and equally fund a second, conservative, committee to bring in conservative speakers.

As to the second, the death-threat writer ought to be kicked out of school, IMHO.

Stay tuned...
