UPDATED! Tonight! Fired DePaul professor and free speech proponent Thomas Klocek to be guest on Central Florida's #1 talk radio station
He'll be on any minute now! There is a chatrooom feature. Chat with Andrea (and friends) live!
Thomas Klocek will be the guest on the Andrea Shea King's show tonight at 9pm Chicago time.
Klocek was a popular and respected 15 year adjunct professor at DePaul University in Chicago, the nation's largest Catholic college who was fired after a heated discussion with some Muslim students outside of the classroom.
Andrea broadcasts from Orlando, Florida on AM 580 WDBO. If you don't live there, you can listen on the internet.
Regular visitors to Marathon Pundit have read about the Klocek case. Now you have the opportunity to hear it from the professor's own words.

I won't be able to listen tonight but if this gets podcasts or if anyone has an MP3, could you please post the link.
Will do. There's a "techie" guy who is following the Klocek case, hopefully he'll find out about it. Sunday is the worst day to spread the news on things.
Cool thanks
Isn't "Students for Academic Freedom" really just a right-wing front group funded by a couple of well-to-do conservatives (and founded by 'college student' David Horowitz)?
...Great sources you've got there John.
Does anyone other than far-right-wing extremists like you, Horowitz and some AM talking head station in Florida even care about this?
NW,
The petition from SPME has over 1700 signitures.
I don't think they're all or many right wing extremists...
Here's one signer's comments: Kenneth Froehling at Masaryk University Brno, Czech Republic,
I have lived in the Czech Republic since 1990 when the spirit of the Velvet Revolution was at high tide. I am a full-time assistant professor at BUT, but an adjunct lecturer at Masaryk University. During my ten years at the latter university, I have brought up political issues in my American and Canadian political history classes that have likely been contrary to views held by the various heads of my department. I cannot imagine, however, that I would be dismissed in the manner Professor Klocek was here, if for no other reason for its absurdity: ADJUNCT LECTURER FIRED! in Czech would look ridiculous in the university newspaper here. I think the president of DePaul University (like those in many other North American and British universities too) had better read the works of Vaclav Havel and Milan Kundera to understand how ridiculous one can look when making unjust and absurd decisions.
