I especially like the “even if they represent inferior scholarship”. It is comforting to know that these professors are acting as the “gatekeeepers of ignorance” to to save each and everyone of us from “inferior scholarship,” the newest watchword for academic censorship.

It riles them to believe that you see the web that they weave .. and keep on thinking free.

Harris,
Reading the Koran for a course on religion, mid-east history, mid-east literature etc would make perfect sense. But what is the point of making it required reading of all incoming freshman, regardless of major? Had it been the Bible, you could put money on it that the ACLU would be in a tizzy that a state Univ. was violating the 1st Amendment.
