University of censorship's fall semester Debra Saunders townhall.com Its an article about UC-Berkeley trying to pressure the student newspaper into running a front-page apology for a Darrin Bell political cartoon it ran Sept. 18. "The cartoon showed two turbaned terrorists ready to "meet Allah and be fed grapes," but finding themselves instead burning in hell. Bill co-author Sajid Khan believes the cartoon was "racist." (I disagree. The cartoon clearly lampoons a vicious fanatical mindset that equates slaughtering innocents with martyrdom and eternal reward.) The newspaper could avoid a rent increase, the bill explained, if it adopted "voluntary diversity training." (Doublespeak lives in the misuse of the words "voluntary" -- when the bill says submit or pay -- and "diversity" -- when only popular opinions will be tolerated.) Also, the paper could "rectify its complete insensitivity to the needs of its campus and its values" with "a printed apology, and a new record of dedication to truth in editorial and news content."
