DePaul Professor Canned for Debating Muslim Students
WorldNetDaily reports that a DePaul professor was suspended after having a spirited discussion about the Middle East with Muslim students who sued the university and two of its officials for defamation.
Professor Thomas Klocek alleges the administrators wrongly characterized his arguments as racist and bigoted. He seeks damages against the school for maligning his "integrity and professional competence."Free speech? Not at DePaul.... one of the students likened the Israeli treatment of the Palestinians to Hitler's treatment of the Jewish people - a statement to which he took offense. The professor challenged the students by quoting an Arab source concluding that although most Muslims are not terrorists, most of today's terrorists are Muslims.
