I planned to do other things this evening, but got caught up in this discussion at Larry James’ blog. He started by re-posting on why we should not be content to always have the poor with us, citing Deuteronomy. It went from there to the question of who are “the poor” anyway? […]

Everytime I return to Harding’s campus it is like coming home. We’re heading to Searcy tomorrow for the Homecoming festivities and President’s Council meetings. If any of you will be in the area and would like to meet, please let me know.

The author, Zachary Cheatam, points to another example of a lefty who was an American Studies Institute (ASI) speaker at Harding: Wesley Clark. […]

The discussion continues in the comments section over at www.kendallball.net. Mike Cope furthers the dialogue by kindly posting there his note to a Harding administrator:
However, I want you to know that I’m embarrassed, as an alumnus of HU and HGSR, that Ann Coulter has been invited to come. This is indefensible. My dear […]

Thanks to Gregg Kendall-Ball for the link. Welcome to readers of his blog. A quick response to his latest post. He writes:
Trying to get Ann Coulter removed because we’re angry that Jeff Walling is not invited just smacks of pettiness. To suggest that THAT is the underlying cause of our protestations about Coulter […]

A Technorati search for Harding and Coulter reveals lots of reaction to Harding University’s decision to cancel Ann Coulter’s speech. Most of it is gleeful rantings from Ann-haters and Christophobes and anti-religious leftists of all stripes. However, I found a more thoughtful post from fellow Harding grad Jim Shelton’s blog:

The story is reported here as well as on Mike Cope’s blog:
I would like to thank all of you who took time to respectfully express your opinions to Harding board members and/or to the Harding administration. Most of you who did so had the same reason I did: not because Ann Coulter is […]
