They Say Conservatives Aren’t Tolerant? Say Anything <<< 'Conservative Books Equate to 'Sexual Harassment' A “sexual harassment” investigation is ongoing at an Ohio college after the school’s librarian suggested that students read a few books from a conservative perspective. According to the Alliance Defense Fund -- a legal alliance that aggressively defends religious liberty -- a librarian at Ohio State University at Mansfield has been slapped with a “sexual harassment” charge after he suggested that freshmen read four best-selling conservative books. Scott Savage is a reference librarian at OSU Mansfield and a member of the school’s First Year Reading Experience Committee. After suggesting that students read “The Marketing of Evil” by David Kupelian, “The Professors” by David Horowitz, “Eurabia: The Euro-Arab Axis” by Bat Ye’or, and “It Takes a Family” by Sen. Rick Santorum, Savage was put under “investigation.” The Alliance Defense Fund reports that three professors filed a complaint of discrimination and harassment against Savage because the list of books he suggested made them feel “unsafe.” “Universities are one of the most hostile places for Christians and conservatives in America,” said ADF Senior Legal Counsel David French, who heads ADF’s Center for Academic Freedom. “It is shameful that OSU would investigate a Christian librarian for simply recommending books that are at odds with the prevailing politics of the university.” >>> Why don't they just go ahead start burning the books now? No sense delaying the inevitable. I'm sure they already have their own list of what is tolerable and what isn't. I'm sure their friends at the ACLU will support them, possibly on the grounds of Freedom of Speech. Cross-posted at the Bullwinkle Blog. bullwinkleblog.com feeds.feedburner.com humaneventsonline.com
