first of all- get your facts straight. Churchill did not decide to close the event to non-University people, it was the Cultural Center that made that decision, after recieving threats to not only disrupt the event, but to inflict physical harm on people who work in the cultural center.

Second of all the people who fired Klocek are not the same people bringing Churchill. LIke any big University (DePaul is the largest Catholic University in the US) there are different departments, clubs and sections of the University that bring out different aspects.

Further Klocek crossed the boundraries of Free Speech. If a pro-palestine professor did to Isreal's DePaul Friends what Klocek did to Students for Justice in Palestine, I can assure you DePaul would have gotten rid of them as well. AS it is we still have a number of pro-isreal right wing professors at DePaul, some in the Political Science department even.

As for calls for a right winger to debate churchill, maybe people like Horrowitz and Coultiier would be open to having Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn, Bob Avakian and others debate them at every event they do?

Although I should point out that almost every year it's Students for Justice in Palestine that talk to the Zionists at DePaul about having a debate. And everytime it's the zionists who end up turning it down. If I recall correctly, the Zionists want to talk only about how to have peace, but SJP points out that you can't have peace without jutice, and the zionists refuse a debate that delas with issues of Justice.

Oh and a message for the protest warriors- the University only allows student groups who have their fliers approved posted on the bulletin boards. But I did enjoy the flier, if only it didn't say protest warrior on it, I would have thought it was one of our pro-Ward groups that posted it.

Finally to the "citizen for real free speeach"- Do you consider slander and hate talk against student groups free speech? I'm not fan of "political correctness" but calling members of United Muslims Moving Ahead "Morons" was deeply offensive.
