Kenneth R. Mayer responds:
I don’t know that I want to get into an argument with someone who buys ink by the megabyte, but Horowitz is just flat wrong on this. There is nothing in the student code of conduct about religious bigotry. I don’t know how the mere expression of an idea — and I’ll agree that it is offensive — can constitute religious bigotry subject to discipline. Horowitz has been quite vigorous on this question in other contexts. It was the MSA that insisted that the Mohammed cartoons constituted such bigotry. Several years before that, some students wanted the Badger Herald sanctioned for running Horowitz’s anti-reparations ad. The cases are exactly the same.
Hard to believe he wants to start down this road.
