Candace: The content of that student paper at Oregon sounds awful, and its name, The Insurgent, is unfortunate (though it may have been in place before the word has taken on its wartime meaning). Having said all that, the administration’s seizure of issues, and the given explanation (something having to do with postal rates), sound extremely fishy. This is exactly the type of nonsense that is used to harass and censor conservative student journalists. My view is that The Insurgent should be free to publish and distribute its garbage — and that critics such as Bill Donahue should be free to condemn it.
