Paul Grindrod: Barrett issue recalls Holocaust debate

….Barrett’s association with the university should be discontinued, not because he speaks from an irrational political position, but because he demonstrates an astounding degree of intellectual poverty that offends the morality of U.S. citizens who lost loved ones in 9/11.

Our university officials erred in their decision to continue Barrett’s appointment because they were incapable of recognizing the enormity of the crimes against humanity that was evidenced in both the Holocaust and 9/11. Perhaps if they “had been there and done that,” their decision might have been correct.
