Hmmm. Just what were they teaching Charles up there, I wonder?

I did in fact graduate from Hamilton College, but I don't know where I stand on this issue. I appreciate attempts to bring a diversity of opinions to the school, diversity being one of the main things my school lacks. In Kimball's post he one of his quotes refers to its "77% Caucasian student body." That number seems a little low to me. I don't know Churchill's other work, but I am not sure I want my college implying that this man's 9/11 analogy has some academic worth.

As to Susan Rosenberg, my school has had crazier people teach at it.

My biggest problem with my college was that they fought a court case to deny their students constitutional rights because it is a private institution. (Sorry I can't find any links, but Hamilton has been getting a lot of press unrelated to this case) So I guess any acknowledgement of a basic rights is a good thing.

1. What's Weather Underground?

2. Could you elaborate on Ward Churchill's analogy just a bit, since it doesn't make any sense at first glance?

3. What's the deal with this Hamilton place?

I guess I missed out on all of this context.

Okay, having now followed the link, all I am left to wonder is, why does Kimball care? So what if some small college wants to make some dumb decisions or if some people in this country go so far left as to reach incoherence and stupidity?

He's free to voice his displeasure, but unless he has a link to Hamilton I'm not aware of, I don't understand why this is important enough projecting to world. I guess it's a "moral (anarchy)" issue for him, which I don't really get — as if dumb ideas were that threatening.
