Censorship makes strange bedfellows

Within the campus political milieu there is no doubt some overlap among the radical pro-choice movement and the radical anti-Israel movement. Not entirely, though, as I'm sure some of the more Islamist elements of the anti-Israel movement are not exactly fervent supporters of a woman's right to choose. Indeed, abortion is forbidden within the Palestinian Authority. Nonetheless, given that support for abortion and opposition to Israel--the latter in the spotlight this week with the ridiculous "Israeli Apartheid Week"--are both acceptable beliefs in the eyes of the Campus Political Overlords, surely now they must see the trap they've set for themselves.

Drinking intellectual hemlock at U of C

If undergraduate students remember anything of Socrates after leaving university, it is that the Greek philosopher was forced by the Athenians to drink hemlock in 399 B.C. The reason, as perhaps fewer will recall, is that Socrates was accused of not worshipping the gods of the city and of corrupting the youth. Thus, for politically correct moderns, who love nothing so much as a principled refusenik who stands up to dead white males, Socrates is praised as a man of principle-- someone who refused to live in exile and chose instead to die for the sake of his convictions.
