No free speech at Cornell
Human Events, Jan 16, 1998
Protesters stole and burned hundreds of copies of the conservative Cornell Review right in front of the campus dining hall on October 27. Administrators did nothing to stop that destruction and have done nothing to punish the perpetrators, which is exactly how they reacted last April when a similar incident occurred.
That time, the issue was a Review article making fun of Ebonics, or black English, which some activists would like taught in public schools in place of standard English. This time the offending item was a pro-life cartoon. "Destroy them, burn them, tear them apart," Henrik Dullea, vice president of university relations, told Thor Halvorssen of the Collegiate Network. "It makes no difference. Burning any campus newspaper is protected at Cornell, much like burning draft cards." The draft card, however, belongs to the person burning it.
