Pacifica Forum speaker in Islamophobia row by Jay Knott (12/11/10) ⇌ (Register Guard - Jan 23)
http://www.registerguard.com/csp/cms/sites/web/opinion/25666215-47/class-free-islam-lcc-college.csp
As a free speech group, Pacifica Forum gives a platform to controversial and even offensive views. One of these views is the Islamophobic perspective of a Zionist TV presenter, Barry Sommer. He wanted to give a course at the local community college, but they have resisted. For once, I find myself on the side of political correctness -- though Barry has the freedom to promote his hateful, dangerous opinions, the college has no obligation to accept him as a professor.

I've changed my mind - I support Sommer's attempt to teach Islamophobia at the community college in Eugene - not that my opinion is going to make any difference. One should oppose political correctness in the education industry,...
