In the entry, People get paid for that?, I reported on an incident involving backlash against the DePauw University College Republicans for inviting David Horowitz to speak. Since then, the group and Horowitz have received sincere apologies from both the administrator in question and the University President. How annoying. Way to deflate a lot of righteous indignation...and remove the blog-fodder bag. If more people realized their mistakes and issued sincere apologies, a lot of us would be left chomping on air.
Updates and recap are here; DePauw Officials Apologize to David Horowitz and the College Republicans and here: A Victory for Academic Freedom at DePauw.
Actually, I'm pretty sure that we'd just move on to other issues. There's a lot of stuff out there, an almost never ending stream of hypocrisy, stupidity, and mediocrity. I can't imagine everybody turning over a new leaf.
And if they did? Hooray!
Oh, no doubt. It's only a matter of seconds before another mole peaks out their head!
