It’s time for your extra-credit question. Please identify who said the following: “The academy is attempting to close down debate of key issues, making it less open to free exchange than the media, the government, think tanks, and even corporations.” Who is this? (The correct answer is Daniel Pipes, the neocon mastermind behind Campus Watch, a website that tracks so-called anti-Americanism or anti-Israel bias on university and college campuses. Though David Horowitz -- author of the aforementioned Academic Bill of Rights so popular recently in Georgia -- has made similar statements.)
