The firing of columnist Jillian Bandes by the Daily Tar Heel at UNC continues to reverberate. A senior writer at TownHall.com (full disclosure: she’s my oldest progeny) had this to say:
The
difference between Bandes and other college columnists is that she
offended the wrong people, according to academia. Instead of railing
against our ?oppressive, patriarchal society,? ?institutional racism,?
or America?s ?fascist foreign policy,? she railed against suicidal
cultural sensitivity in dangerous times. Had she offended
academia-approved groups like whites, conservatives, males, and
Republicans, she could have counted on the campus community to shout
down anyone who disagreed with her?in celebration of free speech and
open debate, of course.
Read the whole thing, as they say.
