Freedom of Speech controversy at IUPUI

4:05 PM PST, March 7, 2008

Some of you may have heard about a recent travesty at IUPUI - a major, state-funded institution of higher learning in Indianapolis. A student-employee was found guilty of racial harassment for . . . .reading my book, Notre Dame vs the Klan.

Anybody taking five minutes to assess the contents of its page on Amazon could determine rapidly that the book is enthusiastically anti-Klan. You could perhaps argue that this shouldn't matter - a college campus ought to be a safe haven for exploration of ideas. But I do think it makes this situation even more outrageous that the good people at IUPUI's affirmative action office didn't care about that. My more recent book has as its heroes religious pacifists during World War II - I think it's safe to conclude I don't have any kind of right-wing axe to grind.

The stance of the Affirmative Action Office, it appears, is that any act is racial harrassment if they call it racial harassment.

This incident is getting a lot of attention, as it should. NUVO, the independent paper out of Indianpolis, gets credit for breaking the story. You can go to their website and read actual copies of the letters from the Affirmative Action Office. They are every bit as ridiculous as I describe.

My first post

I've met some really great people in the process of writing these books, and I have high hopes that AmazonConnect will put me in touch with even more. A quick example: I have been corresponding with Laura Collins, an expert on eating disorders. She expressed to me how much the Minnesota Starvation Experiment has helped her and others like her in their work. I forwarded her message on to the 14 test subjects that I communicate with - I am sure they will be thrilled to hear yet more evidence that the study they endured in 1944-45 has had real lasting value.

Anyhow, that's the kind of thing that makes writing books so fun and so gratifying. If you have read any my books, or have any questions, I'd love to hear from you.

Sincerely,

Todd
