Free To Speak

In a victory for freedom of expression, Nonie Darwish has been reinvited to speak at Brown:

Any Arab who speaks differently from the status quo is immediately just branded as traitor, and they want to shut us up. We left the Middle East thinking we’re coming to America, our freedom of speech is protected. And then the radicals follow us here and shut us up.”

Thankfully, common sense prevailed, as happens all too rarely in these college censorship scenarios.

It's not over yet. There is still time to have some days of rage and ramp up the indoctrination. The original invitation proves that Brown wasn't doing its job.

I'd say that it's entirely more likely that a very rich donor of middle eastern descent threatened to withdrawl his support from the university.
