Adams on Gonzaga fraud

The great Mike Adams, professor of criminology at UNC, is at it again.

There are a good number of organizations out there doing their share to promote academic freedom on campuses across America. Adams, however, is a one-man army, bent on exposing the insidious intolerance that persists in academia.

His latest "letter" is written to Gonzaga university over their fraudulent claim to uphold the Catholic faith. The letter to an individual is one of Mr. Adams' classic writing styles:

Dear President Spitzer
(spitzer@gonzaga.edu):

Recently, I received a letter from two third-year law students at Gonzaga University (GU) School of Law. The students described your law school as one that is “secular” and which fraudulently holds itself out to be Catholic. They also stated they had experienced first-hand the school’s trampling of the rights of Christian students. Specifically, they accused GU of violating the rights of their first Christian pro-life group.

The details that follow are horrific. He notes that the university goes beyond tolerating views antithetical to Catholicism, then talks about the outright discrimination against groups that are Christian or Pro-life.

...your tolerance for those who directly oppose Catholic doctrine is not always extended to those who support it. That is odd, given that you claim to be a Catholic University.

For example, I understand that the only two Christian clubs recently formed at the law school have been refused official recognition. In addition, members of the unofficial Christian club at your “Catholic” law school have reported that promotional signs have been regularly defaced, and that members have been falsely accused of honor code violations.

This piece is worth your attention.

If you have never heard of Adams, it's time you did. He has built quite a reputation at his own school in the last few years and it has been a personal pleasure of mine to read his articles and books. Check out his website (DrAdams.org).
