The case of DePaul University Professor Thomas Klocek, who was removed without a hearing after challenging and running afoul of a protected group on campus (see these two posts for background: DePaul Professor Offends Muslim Students - Suspended Without Hearing and Klocek and DePaul - It gets worse) is finally gaining a little bit of play. It was curious how this story, which seems to have many angles of interest for various watchdog groups, seemed to be going along so very quietly.
Now, "big bloggers" Roger L. Simon and Little Green Footballs have taken an interest, and there is a lengthy article at the Chicago Jewish News and columns in the Manchester Union Leader and Naples Daily News (both linked at Marathon Pundit) on the case.

2) HTML is on, so basic html should work. Raw links will be made auto-clickable, too, so even if you don't know html you can just paste in the link and it should work fine. Keep the "http://" in it.
3) Comments are generally unmoderated, which means I don't necessarily agree with the tone and tenor of everything posted. In fact, sometimes people post things they don't really mean just to make other people look bad. The internet is an anonymous place for the most part. That said...
4) I welcome you to post here. I'd love to have your input, agree, disagree or just offer a different data point, really. If I didn't want any participation, I'd turn off comments.

Anyone who posts here will be treated as my guest. That means I'm happy to be polite as a default, but if anyone is rude to the host they'll be unceremoniously shown the door.
It may pay to recall a famous line from the Tom Selleck magnum opus, Mr. Baseball: "Jack-san, you want Yoji's advice about the babes, you come to Yoji with respect."
