WISC-TV Editorial: Missing the Target Completely

This is cutting off your nose to spite your face. There’s no other way to put it. We know we said we hoped to have nothing further to say about efforts to force the UW to silence lecturer Kevin Barrett, but the actions this week of the Ozaukee County Board are so bizarre we draw them to your attention lest they spread unnoticed.

Members of the Ozaukee County Board in eastern Wisconsin are so outraged at the UW for allowing the 9/11 skeptic Barrett to teach an Islamic studies class that they voted to cut funding to the UW Extension program.
