Petitioning to Restore the First Amendment to DePaul

A New Jersey Jewish man, Larry Ramer, is organizing and circulating a petition asking DePaul University to reinstate professor Thomas Klocek and provide him with a hearing in front of First Amendment experts. Klocek, you may recall, was fired because he dared to make factually correct statements about the Middle East that upset some radical pro-Arab pro-terror students on campus. DePaul is the same University that employs crackpot pseudo-historian Norman Finkelstein, a groupie of Holocaust Denier David Irving. DePaul is a university where Holocaust Denial and the "Vagina Monologues" are bona fide academic activities, whereas defending Israel is grounds for dismissal.

“The harsh action against Klocek is another sign that universities will defend the most outrageous leftist, anti-American, anti-Israel comments, while giving extremely short shrift to the free-speech rights of conservatives and pro-Israel individuals,” Ramer said.
