A friend of the blog pointed out the following quote from McHenry County College President Walt Packard:

“If we start picking and choosing which groups can speak and which can’t, you’re going down a slippery path. Particularly in our college environment, you have to be prepared to listen to a wide range of ideas in order to learn.”

It was in Daily Herald reporter Kerry Lester’s article on Friday.

Considering the one-sidedness of discussions on many university campuses, Packard’s reaction to the request by members of Latinos Unidos to prohibit the Illinois Minuteman Project meeting on Friday night is positively refreshing.
