Iraq Reviews > Jean Rohe: Why I Spoke Up
[The Huffington Post] When I was selected as a student speaker for the New School commencement about two months ago I had no idea that I'd end up on CNN and in Maureen Dowd's column in the New York Times, among other places, when it was all over. One day after the big event I'm still reeling from all the media attention and emails from professors, students, and other supporters from all over the country, so forgive me if my writing is a little scattered.

[American Bodhisattva] The Calvin College Rebellion: According to its website, Calvin is the distinctively Christian, academically excellent liberal arts college that shapes minds for intentional participation in the renewal of all things. Being a Christian institution, It likely will not surprise many to learn that President Bush will be delivering the commencement address at the graduation
[Second Shift Reflections] Reporting on Campus Support For Terrorism: Columbia University Marxist Eric Foner, a past president of both the American Historical Association and the Organization of American Historians, declared, “Im not sure which is more frightening: the horror that engulfed New York City or the apocalyptic rhetoric emanating daily from the White House.” As President Bush vowed to depose the totalitarian theocracy that had given al-Qaeda a military base of operations and bring the terrorists to justice, professors denounced America as “the greatest terrorist state;” lecturers at the City University of New York condemned “American imperialism” as the root cause of the attack; and Brown University academics chanted, “one, two, three, four, we dont want a racist war!”[2] (For these citations see David Horowitz, Unholy Alliance: Radical Islam and the American Left, Regnery 2004) Thus, before the final death count had been tallied in the worst act of terrorism in American history, the campus Left had already launched a pre-emptive strike against Americas effort to defend itself.

It was nice to see the faculty (relatively) united.
[Professorbainbridge.com] ProfessorBainbridge.com: Despite clear evidence that Sarbanes-Oxley has a disproportionate impact on smaller public corporations, and the recommendations of its own advisory committee for significant regulatory relief for such corporations, the Securities and Exchange Commission has offered up an incredibly lame proposal whose centerpiece is a Concept Release in which the SEC will ask for advice as to the types and forms of guidance it should provide to corporations on how to complete their assessment of internal controls over financial reporting.

[Alternet.org] AlterNet: Blogs: The Mix: Yesterday at the Personal Democracy Forum Conference, the closing panel of the day was a debate concerning Net Neutrality and the future of our free (as in speech) access to the Internet. Representing advocates for keeping the Internet fair and open were Timothy Karr of Free Press, and Susan Crawford, who is an Associate Professor of Law at Cardozo Law School, covering communications and copyright issues galore.
[Time.blogs.com] Andrew Sullivan | The Daily Dish: Latest bit of evidence: Just starting this week, each time I open my email I find two or three new dispatches from the White House Communications Office, alerting me to some inspirational speech Bush is giving, some new initiative his folks are hard at work on, some sinister bit of misinformation the Dems are spreading, or some positive coverage the administration has just received from the typically-dismissed-as-hatefully-biased mainstream media.
