Columbia University took some hard hits for inviting Iranian leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to speak at its School of International and Public Affairs.
Everyone from New York Sen. Hillary Clinton to the ranting hosts of Fox News criticized the invitation.
….It is always good for Americans to be reminded, as the great plaque on the University of Wisconsin campus teaches us: Great universities must ever “encourage that continual and fearless sifting and winnowing by which alone the truth can be found.”
