Northwestern Disgrace

Northwestern Law School invites controversial speaker for their commencement. Video highlights below!!! Tribune:

When Alex Aixala looked ahead to his graduation from Northwestern Law School on May 16, he envisioned a commencement speaker who would shower the crowd with uplifting words of wisdom.

"I honestly feel like the purpose of a graduation speaker is to inspire you to make the world a better place," said Aixala, whose favorite part of law school was working with its free legal clinic for the poor.

A television host whose talk show rewards guests who flash their breasts was not exactly what he had in mind. So when word spread that Jerry Springer was to give the address, Aixala joined many of his classmates in signing petitions against the choice.

Their objection, however, was overruled.

So Northwestern added another speaker from their own faculty to placate students. At least it wasn't former terrorist bomber Bernardine Dohrn, Clinical Associate Professor of Law (note their sanitized bio) and Director and founder of the Children and Family Justice Center, who spoke last fall at a radical reunion of SDS members: And Dohrn quotes Dr. King, who said "the greatest purveyor of violence is my own country". Sounds like Barack is on the same page. From my post yesterday:

Obama with Chris Wallace on FoxNews Sunday, compares Rev. Wright to MLK. Blames media for reporting news. Throws bankers, lawyers in addition to the usual Republicans under the bus, plus Mayor Daley, joining Sen. Coburn in being compared to Bill Ayers. Hey--some of my best friends are domestic terrorists. Grandma already under the bus having been compared to the racist Rev. Wright, who has now been transformed into MLK. Got that?
