"Irrational and Ridiculous" Thug Tactics of Depaul Administrators
Note: Typical how the left can frame arguments it disagrees with as "hate speech" or "intolerant" but allow the most odious of ideas such as Churchill's in the name of "academic freedom" and the exchange of ideas. DePaul is morally bankrupt and doesn't realize that in the exchange, you need to have something of value.

The Depaul Double Standard: Liberty and justice for some and repression for others"DePaul is a basket case!"
These were the words of Greg Lukianoff, president of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE), on the Hannity & Colmes show in January of 2006. This description of the nation's largest Catholic university might be hard to believe, but as I continue my fourth year here, I am sorry to confirm it.
Mr. Lukianoff's statement accurately sums up the outrageous actions of DePaul's administration and far left faculty. At the same time as his appearance on the show, DePaul conservatives were in a battle with the University over their right to protest.
The University invited Ward Churchill, a favorite of liberal academia, to speak on campus. He has publicly proclaimed those who lost their lives in 9-ll to be "little Eichmanns," referring to the Nazi war criminal who oversaw deportations to the extermination camps.
When the DePaul College Republicans sought approval to hang posters displaying some of Churchill's most egregious quotes, the school created a new rule to ban the posters! Then the school officially reprimanded the DePaul Republicans for creating "propaganda."
In addition, the DePaul Republicans were subsequently banned from attending the "human rights workshop" with Churchill. Mr. Churchill, the DePaul faculty's chosen Academic and intellectual speaker, was since fired from his teaching post at the University of Colorado for plagiarism.
