So, last night was Tufts Republicans’ big event. We brought David Horowitz to campus to speak on the necessity of academic freedom. First the club took Mr. Horowitz out to dinner at Sagra’s. Afterward, we spoke in Barnum. The speech went well, and covered a variety of topics on the need for more balance in our universities. He discussed the fall of Larry Summers over at Harvard, the absurdity of the premises of many Women’s and Africana Studies Departments, and much more. The question and answer section went well, the questioners were respectful and there was some good debate, and after, Horowitz signed copies of his new book, “One Party Classroom”. We also made the front page of the Daily today, which combined with Horowitz’s appearance on the Howie Carr Show and my op-ed in the Tufts Daily yesterday, means TR got pretty good media coverage this week. I’ve still got lots of work to do, but my next post will be returning to my debate with Alex and Tim.
