If you believe in academic freedom as well as freedom of speech please go over to THIRDWAVEDAVE and read " The Thomas Klocek Affair " and sign the petition concerning him . He was fired at DePaul University for supposedly offending Muslim students with some of his comments. I signed the petition, but I urge you to read about the Klocek affair and if you support him sign the petition. It may help Professor Klocek.

Thanks, Paul. I encourage your readers to read about Klocek, but I can tell you he's a good man and did not deserve this treatment. The muslim community has put itself in a postition of influence at this university,(CAIR)and they're using it.
Again, thanks.

My pleasure Dave!

Thanks Paul. We've been following this story in Chicago and it's embarressing for DePaul alums like myself to see what's happened to the place.
Marathon Pundit follows this one pretty closely.

Yes, all, please sign the petition for him.
