I may have some of the facts slightly wrong on this, but the gist is correct. The board of student paper of the University of Illinois (which seems to be all adults instead of students) just fired the editor (who is a student) because he printed the famous riot causing cartoons. And in a statement afterwards, they said they were committed to free speech and a free press, which I suppose is a good reason to censor people and fire people for printing things you don't like.

The hypocrisy of the press in this affair, and I mean just about every news outlet in the country, has been amazing. Kudos to the papers that printed the cartoons without firing anyone, and also kudos to the papers who did not print the cartoons, but at least admitted they didn't because they feared for their safety. A big "you're a lying hypocrite" to everyone else.

I'm studying for a midterm right now, but later I think I'll try to find a link to the cartoons to put up. Yeah, go ahead and protest, there's a big area outside my house that you can picket.
