Or maybe the timing of the facts are the real heart of this issue.<br /><br />The school released a statement that is not in the original post or the cited article:<br /><br /> <i> St. Olaf is deeply committed to ensuring that diverse viewpoints are free to be expressed on our campus, including those of conservative speakers like Mr. Shapiro. Our campus has always been open to voices like his. For example, in just the past few years we’ve hosted Christina Hoff Sommers, Joanna Williams, U.S. Senator Richard Lugar, U.S. Congressman Newt Gingrich, William Kristol, and Karl Rove, to name a few. We have never stated or implied a connection between racism and conservatism.<br /><br /> While we cannot speak to Mr. Shapiro’s current speaking schedule, our information confirms that when this issue was brought to our attention in February, there were alternative dates available. As we indicated to our students, Mr. Shapiro is welcome to come at an alternative time, and we offered our assistance to help arrange a visit.<br /><br /> The protest last year was the culmination of a series of incidents on campus and across the nation. We hope that the anniversary of last year will be an opportunity to bring the campus closer together and not to divide us further apart. We seek an environment where people from the broadest range of backgrounds can come to better understand one another and hear one another’s voices.</i> <br /><br />https://www.thecollegefix.com/post/43241/<br /><br />It almost seems that the college met with the group back in February, was aware of other planned events on the April date and to avoid conflict, said, "there are other dates you are showing us. Please pick one of them." The student group decided to either pick the April date or dilly-dallied around until that date was supposedly the "last date available."<br /><br />Neither the college group or the college played this one well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32538379.post-34415522463377527282018-03-29T05:00:04.530+13:002018-03-29T05:00:04.530+13:00There is great fear of students having access to c...There is great fear of students having access to conservative opinions on the part of educators at all levels. They realize that truth will derail their liberal objectives.<br /><br />As darkness fears light, so liberals fear truth.<br />Deannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32538379.post-60144721024007946992018-03-29T03:51:13.951+13:002018-03-29T03:51:13.951+13:00
