Dear Editor: Have American universities become the new Inquisition? Is the academic establishment so afraid some of their number might deviate from the “accepted” norms of discussion and investigation that they must attack their suspect colleagues at every opportunity to keep them in line?
Professor Ann Althouse’s remarks about Kevin Barrett are not only cruel and uncalled for, they are unethical! Isn’t it the responsibility of an academic to challenge conventional wisdom when they feel it is warranted, as a growing number of academics are doing worldwide in the case of the 9/11 attacks?
