I am not for outlawing idiots from... well, being idiots. That would be a violation of free speech. But I have often wondered why colleges and universities feel the need to "tolerate" neo Nazis on their teaching staffs while they often fire far left wing professors.

This university fired a leftist professor (Barbra Foley) for being leftist

Academic Freedom

But they still grant full employment to a Neo Nazi Holocaust denying idiot:

Arthur Butz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I only know this because I went to college there for 2 years.

I miss the time when you could post a picture of the troll holding the spray bottle. That always gave me a chuckle.

Butz wrote a book on the holocaust actually. Don't know if you know that or not.

No questioning the truth is not disgusting it is our right to do so. Jeez if people are going to whine like children don't post here! Believe me we won't miss you.

I am curious why is it against the law to question the holocaust since the truth has no problem being questioned? Odd if you ask me.

It's not against the law. But why does that question always get asked by a certain group and in such a way as you asked? Why not ask, "Did WWII happen?"; "Is the sky blue?"; "Are people who are holocaust deniers morons?"
