Argh!
I'm late on posting this as the wheels began rolling about two months ago. But during my mid-week drinking binge last night, my blood started boiling all over again so I thought I would mention it now to those of you who don't know. That is, all of you non-Oregonians not in the loop.
My buddies in Oregon wrote for a publication called the Oregon Commentator, a so-called "conservative" journal of thought. Hilariously, by Eugene standards I'm pretty damn conservative. (Take that, Cara!) Anyway, through a series of events that involved joking over a dumbass named Toby Hill-Meyer (who insists on people using "gender-neutral" pronouns), they've been denied funding by the undergraduate financing council. Hence, another example of leftist campus politics gone totally inane. Evidently, once again, the first amendment doesn't apply to anyone who pisses off people in power. In this case, to a bunch of loony leftist undergraduates.
Anyway, you can read more about this sorry issue in the Commentator's Web Log. Scroll down to about February 1st for the fireworks. This post should give you a good idea of what's going on. My good friend Dan is in the middle of this and his gems can be found here, here, and here.
