You can't quote a Muslim source to argue against a critic of Islam. Maybe it's 'cos I should be in bed by now but I'm wondering why nobody else found this hilariously funny? To see why substitute two words and image Faith saying this:
You can't quote a Christian source to argue against a critic of Christianity. Plausible or what?  Oops! Wrong Planet

How about a whole semester's worth of anti-Dubya rants and a punitive refusal to tolerate another point of view? Yes this happens. Since when is freedom of speech equivalent to a person in authority's having the power to ridicule the views of a student and grade him on his opinions instead of his knowledge of the course material? This is what is happening now. Any chance of some evidence to back these assertions up? I'm not necessarily disputing whether they are true - I'm on the other side of the Atlantic after all - but it would be good to see some actual examples. Well you knew somebody was going to ask didn't you? Oops! Wrong Planet

Here's the web site: Sucuri WebSite Firewall - Access Denied Just for grins I took a look at this and for no other reason than it caught my eye I looked at this one:
Wells College Suspends Student Republican Leader Three Weeks before Graduation The link leads to an article which describes the situation leading up to her suspension and contains this:
Wells senior Nicole Krogman is the Co-Chairman of the Wells College Republicans and an editor of the Cornell American, a conservative publication at nearby Cornell University. She is the most high-profile conservative student at Wells. In her final semester at Wells, Krogman undertook a non-credit bearing independent study tutorial with Professor Linda Lohn, Chair of Wells’ American Studies Department. So I put 'Nicole Krogman' into Google and found a bunch of hits. It seems studentsforacademicfreedom.org chose to neglect to mention a rather crucial fact - namely that Krugman had to do this 'non-credit bearing independent study tutorial' because she was accused of plagiarism. Now I make no comment as to her guilt or innocence, but I do say that the fact the site you link to did not mention perhaps the crucial fact in the whole episode does not give me a good feeling as to the integrity or veracity of the site.
Here's a newspaper article with some more info. Of course one story picked at random isn't necessarily indicative of the true level of accuracy - but it's late and I can't be arsed to look at any more today Oops! Wrong Planet
