Yesterday, Columbia University's president, Lee Bollinger, announced the completion of the investigation of an October 4th incident in which Jim Gilchrist, founder of the anti-illegal immigration Minutemen Project, was attacked. During that assault, students bum-rushed the stage in Columbia's Roone Auditorium, overturned chairs and tables, and forced Gilchrist to flee, without giving his presentation. A New York Post editorial of today strongly suggested that Bollinger is sweeping the matter under the rug and that he is not punishing the radical-leftist thugs who committed the outrage.
Where is the ACLU? And since the American Library Association so often injects itself into freedom of expression issues, why too hasn't it condemned the fact that Jim Gilchrist, an invited speaker, was prevented from lecturing? Do the ACLU and ALA only defend those that are politicallly correct? Is radical leftist intolerance tolerated by the ACLU and ALA? Do they encourage it?
