Title: Student
What is this institute doing? Telling students that when a professor presents a fair and objective views that the professor needs to be fired? What is wrong with this logic and in the actions that the university did? First off all, "a Roman Catholic, who was dismissed by DePaul University for allegedly offending Muslim students when discussing Christian interests in Israel, disputing that Israeli treatment of Palestinians was akin to the Nazi treatment of the Jewsand then terminating the discussion when it appeared that the students were more interested in Israel-bashing than discussing the issues. We believe this case sheds serious questions on the commitment to academic freedom and civility in academic discussion with this egregious termination. We further believe that this action by administration has separated DePaul from the academic community. It is our understanding that Prof. Klocek alleges: 1) He was never allowed to meet with his accusers. 2) He was never presented with a written list of the complaints or charges against him. 3) He was suspended by the Dean of the School for New Learning in clear violation of the University's own stated Faculty Handbook procedures. 4) He was never given a hearing. 5) A vote by the DePaul Faculty Council affirmed that the same rules that apply for a formal academic hearing apply to all professors, full-time and adjuncts alike. As a result, we believe that Professor Klocek, a faculty member with a 15-year history of excellent evaluations and no prior complaints, was dismissed without due process and should be reinstated without penalty or prejudice and with back pay, restitution of benefits and compensation for his legal and other expenses incurred as a result of his being improperly terminated." I am so grateful that I don't go to this institution at all. It's a mockery of what true education and learning process should be. This professor should not have been fired. If anything, the university needs to take a good look at itself and make reforms. And if this professor isn't hired again, he can always come to my institution, where something like this would never have happened in the first place.

It is outrageous that a professor should be fired for supporting Israel. It seems like the leaders at De Paul have bought the Arab propaganda about ISrael hook, line, and sinker,

Jews are the victims in the middle-east conflict, not the agressors.

Please reinstate Prof. Klocek.

The academic apartheid practiced by the Muslim students and their handlers (C.A.I.R.) flies in the face of intellectual freedom. The Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) is staging their own version of intellectual apartheid by criminalizing the act of questioning passages in the Koran by non-Muslims. The University is helping to pave the very road by which the OIC will shut down all organic discourse. Both points of view can be accommodated without stepping on one's freedom of speech or inquisitive give and take. Please reinstate Professor Klocek.

I have so much respect for DePaul, and so many of our students transfer to your university. It is difficult for me to understand why you do not give Thomas Klocek an opportunity to defend himself or to face the charges against him. It is my understanding that his student evaluations were excellent. I urge you to do the right thing and not react emotionally, but to carefully investigate the situation and allow him to speak for himself. I believe at the end of that process you will reinstate him without penalty. Thank you for your consideration of this request.

I knew Tom Klocek when he was a student at The Catholic University of America.We got into some pretty heated but amicable philosophical and theological debates. We also tipped a few brews together. We understood the philosophy of education and the Socratic method of debate in working toward the truth. Why not make it fun and animated! Is not emotion not a part of standing up for the truth? I am suprised that Tom doesn't have a few PhD's by now because he wall brilliant, even though I disagreed with him on many issues. But then again Plato, Aristotle, etc. and the Church Fathers did not have their PhD either, and yet they spent their life studying and searching for the truth. The truth should speak for itself, no degree necessary, except for some stuffed better-than-thou academecian. (referring to letters and arts, not sciences). In this current situation at DePaul, Tom was not opining, but merely stating the facts. Circa 1967 in Washington, D.C. at The Catholic University of America, a theology professor by the name of Rev John Curran was dismissed by the university for some opinions that were not consonant with the current thinking of curia powers-that-be. The majority of the student body went on strike, making national news, in support of Rev John Curran. Support was also garnered from many of the faculty. One of those strikers was Tom Klocek. Fr. Curran was reinstated. Shame on those of the faculty and student body of DePaul that have not vociferously defended Tom. His action of standing in support of intellectual curiosity and academic freedom have preceeded him. He must not have taken that graduate philosophy class where we were taught, "Don't reason with an ass, and don't talk to a wall." But he is certainly aware of my then mantra, "The truth shall set you free." But also remember the contemporaneous words of Andy Whitco, "The truth shall make you sick." If DePaul University cannot remember the purpose of a liberal education, then perhaps they should cease and desist any school of liberal arts and stick to science and technology. Oh, now I'm in the business world, and lest I forget, "It's all about the money. " "Follow the money." Does this school espouse any moral values which should be endemic to any and all religions of peace. Or are they following in the footprints of the mother church, where it appears better to hide the truth lest anyone be shocked. "It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones. Luke 17:2. At least that's the way it was when last I checked the Catholic bible. Sadly Andy Whitco was right, the truth has make me sick. That's why I left the "pedophile church" and their curia enablers 35 years ago because I saw then what was unfolding. I hope I have not offended any followers of Jesus Christ. DePaul University,only by your actions, shall you be known. May God's blessings shine upon you Tom Klocek! The truth will set you free! DePaul University, I hope I have raised the temperature if not melted some ice. Is truth good in and of itself, or must it be followed by action?

Thanks.
1884 2007-01-29 Name: Richard Manning I also support the Cardinal Newman Society. The actions of DePaul University in this matter, as well its abject failure to uphold, nurture, sustain and promote Catholic values as defined by the Teaching Authority of the Catholic Church in matters of faith and morals. It is a sad commentary on this once great University. I fully support efforts to remove the Catholic designation from DePaul University and all benefits this designation bestows, unless clear, decisive and unequivocal actions are taken to re-establish the Catholic essence and nature in thought, action and values of your University.

Universities such as DePaul who flagrantly and consistently refuse obedience to the Holy See are not worthy of the designation "Catholic" since their actions and essence are and abuse and in opposition to the very meaning of Catholicism.

Oremus,

Your suspension of Professor Klocek is simple pandering to Islamist individuals and organizations and must cease. You are behaving as they behave, exhibiting intolerance of free speech.
1792 2006-11-08 Name: S. G. Ide I have read the facts of this case as they are documented at Wikkipedia and I find it incredulous that DePaul would fire a Professor because he became entangled in an argument with pro-Palestinian activists, which by the way is very easy to do if you don't agree with them. That he lost his composure and brushed them off with an ethnic signal is regrettable and probably violates some professional code but no doubt this incident was blown out of proportion by the activists. This is their modus operandi on every campus in North America: intimidation and capitulation. They are belligerant and relentless in their hatred of Israel and clearly the good Professor was provoked. It is most unfortunate that you can't see how you have been manipulated to ruin a man's career and grant them the power they hunger for.

DePaul's treatment of Prof. Klocek stands in stark contrast to the treatment of Ward Churchhill at Univ. of Colorado. Calling the the victims of 9/11 "Little Eichmanns" was insufficient to even discipline him; the University is still trying to remove him after documenting credential fraud and plagarism. Obviously there is a double standard.
Prof. Klocek should contact the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education which has a sucessful track record in dealing with these situations.

Professors like Mr. Kocek should be a hero to many who seek to find truth not the revisionist theories being paraded as truth.

When learning institutions stop appeasing those who would teach that homicide bomb belts are the way to go for matyrdom AS a necessary defence (aka Berkeley and USC-Irvine), then we as a nation can be proud of our institutions but in the meantime - NO MORE CHARTERS FOR PRO-TERRORIST UNIVERSITIES

If yes, the lesson would be that a professor cannot express his views on a question involving the Middle East. I f the answer is no, it means that a professor can only express his views on the Middle East if those views are pro-Muslim.

The very Bible tells many tales of our Jewish ancestors who marauded the Middle East with the approval of our God. Although they are utterly anachronistic - and utterly wrong to do so - radical Muslims are merely acting out an ancient script of the oppressed. And in many ways we oppress them ourselves with our world culture, encroach on their most cherished values, most of which are descended from those of our own conservative branch.

On the one hand, it is hardly for us Jews to be sanctimonious about violence, oppression, and xenophobia. I and masses of other Jews do not approve of Israel's creation and foreign policy, nor of America's and Britain's adventurism worldwide. Radical modern Islam has risen dialectically as a function of that.

Yet at the same time, our enlightened society understands that it is wrong to restrict freedom of expression of any sort. I and other clear-thinking people can't possibly agree with Prof. Klocek's sentiments. His use of the university as a bully-pulpit is unfair to students who are paying him to teach them. He's certainly not correct about Palestine beng a 20th century construct - that description would be better lent to Israel. Sometimes fools are elevated to high positions in our society.

But Mr. Klocek must be reinstated, and students must find less fanatical ways to put to rest the man's skewed thinking. His career may follow.

I fully condone Prof. Klocek's remarks and the fact that the Moslems were insulted just means they have a problem. One can always choose to be insulted or not. It is however, imperative that the world knows and is fully aware of the SERIOUS DANGER these Islamic fundamentalists (and those other moslems that they drag with them) pose for the whole world (and not only Israel). If they think that their God wants them to terrorize the whole world, killing in his name, there is something seriously wrong with their concept of God.

Very sad to know that that via kangaroo court free speech and opinions are limited to shallow children masquerading as "students". Admit that greed drives your views in regard to Professor Klocek and show some leadership by reinstating him. In the meantime, you caused your own black eye. Your new learning is suspect. We are losing our country in increments because of weak, scaredy cats like you who are burying us from within. THe Professor will win this one so get your act together.

I am an alumnus of a Catholic college. I value critical thought and action, and was shocked to find this dismissal occurred at a Catholic institution. Beware the ideology of Islam. "CAIR" has made its hate of Western civilization felt in Orlando on local college campuses. Stand up for the values we will soon have to defend with our lives, once Shariah law is in place in our beloved USA. History will repeat itself. Do not promote an ideology which uses financial incentives to decapitate our freedoms as well as our heads. Stand up for the values taught to me in Catholic institutions, unless, like a moth to the flame, you choose to be consumed by Islam and its deviant teachings.

Professor Thomas Klocek must immediately be reinstated to DePaul University with no prejudice or penalty. Period. There is, however, something else about this story.

If such chickens as president Holtschneider and dean Dumbleton gained control of all the American universities (the trend is now obvious), these institutions would soon turn into subservient branches of madrassas. And all these Holtschneiders and Dumbletons, despite their great services to the "Religion of Peace," would eventually be kicked out – both as Christians and Muslim creeps. Clearly, the couple of "Ed.D" and "Ph.D." at the helm of DePaul University is unable to cotton on to the grave consequences of their disgraceful behavior.

Israel continues to suffer at the hands of these Arabs, who seek nothing less than denial of self-determination of Israelis, and some in fact the genocide of the Jewish population. Even in the face of this Israel has maintained the highest standards of justice and humanity at all times, in an accountable democracy. DePaul's action in the face of this serves to enable terrorists everywhere by the American voice of sympathy to their totalitarian cause. It is high time for DePaul to rejoin the community of scholar by replacing Prof. Klocek and repudiating the cynical propagandists he spoke with. Thank you.

To criminalize thought and speech is to begin the process of creating totalitarian law, for such crimes are inherently subjective and lacking in precision. The essence of democratic law is that is is clear and precise, sufficiently so that one can know when one is law-abiding and when one is not.

To allow the partners of Nazism to have a voice is wrong. The Students for Palestine and CAIR are the modern Nazis in the US. While groups such as B'nai Brith and Salvation Army have proved to be for all, CAIR has been proving to be only for those who support bombbelt terrorism.

The Professor only stated what is the truth. Ask anyone who is Jewish, Christian, Bahai, Zorastrian, Hindu, Athiest and even Gay and they will, for the most part state that they have not felt any prejudices in Israel of who they are. But if you are in Ramallah and are Gay, what would become of you?

Why isn't CAIR supporting the rights of Gay Muslims? Why is it always a one-sided street for those who hate life but live to die as a matyr?

1357 2006-07-25 Name: Edwina E. McCall RN Cpt AN I have had enough. CAIR was deemed to have ties to terrorism in a Symposium entitled "Connecting the Dots" 2yrs after 9/11. Senators Schumer, Kyle and Durbin deemed it along with Steve Emerson, terrorist expert, Daniel Pipes, working with this administration and expert on Islam along with Congressman King and many many others and they have the audacity to speak against anyone anywhere? They are also named as Defendants in the 9/11 Class Action Suit, they recently lost a case with Andrew Whitehead, blog Anti-CAIR along with a few others they tried to intimidate. Get CAIR off your campus, it is either free speech for all or free speech for none. Muslims do not own this country, they did not settle this country, they did not fight for our Independence, none of our founding fathers were Muslims. Get rid of them now and stop cowtowing. Bring the professor back. Stand up and fight for something for God's sake and your country. What have we become? Muslims are the only immigrants to come to our country and kill 3000+ on our soil more people lost in one day in this country than we have lost in the war in Iraq. Get with the program. I am sick of these maggots telling us what to say and do. This is my country and I say Support the country your in or go back to the country you support because you do not belong here.

The right to free spech, and the right to personal and professional analysis of data and teaching of the truth produced from analysis of said data is necessary for the democratic process and freedom of the USA.

The fundamentalist Islamic doctrine is the domination of world government and religion. I hold a Masters degree in Theology and a Masters of Science degree from two different institutions.

Professor Thomas Klocek was one of my favorite faculty members. I always remember him being available to listen to his students. He deserves the same due process. The punishment he has gone through already is unjustified but in the eyes of those that know him will not damage this great educator's credibility.

I find the treatment of Professor Klocek unconscionable and an affront to academic freedom and freedom of speech.

There exists no reason for his ouster other than prejudicial sentiment counter to those who might be supportive of a nonLeftist, nonCommunistic, nonradical mindset. To maintain his ouster provides fodder for all those in academia (and especially outside of university realms) who maintain the rigid stranglehold of leftist mantras and radicalized anti-Administration is all-encompassing. How about evening the odds, and providing students with a fair neutrality rather than a Sarandon/Garafolo/Sheehan inanity and hideousness?

American Universities, until recently, have supported open expression of ideas and issues free from threats, harrassment, and punitive actions by academic institutions. It is the responsibility of all universities to support the open discourse, not to throttle it. All people-- students, academics, and others, regardless of their points of view-- are entitled to protection of their constitutionally-guaranteed right to free speech, including those with views we do not wish to hear. The institution has abrogated its most profound beliefs and has sent Catholicism back to the Dark Ages. A Catholic-affiliated institution, in attempting to silence the devil, has instead become his right hand. This shameful action must be rectified, and perhaps should be exposed for what it is so that it cannot occur again!

One ought not to assume that because Palestinians are in dire straits and in conflict with Israel that the latter is at fault and that there is nothing to be said in its defense and no reason to accord those who wish to say it the same freedom of expression enjoyed by those who wish to express grievances against Israel.

In criticism of Plato, Aristotle said words, in effect, that he who would mandate that one love others children as much as ones own will achieve only that individuals will love their own children less, not others more. The consequences of such an ideology are publicly on display at DePaul. You have shamefully abandoned one of your own, without appropriate due process or a sense of proportion, to the wolves of political correctness. And who hates the Catholic Church more than do the ideological Left and the ideological Islamists? In the name of tolerance you have betrayed both tolerance and your own self-respect. Dr. Holtchneider: as a man of faith, please be a big enough man to make this right. You and your university would only gain in recognition and stature through such an act.

This incident reflects bacly on DePaul University. If Professor Klocek is being terminated because of his political views, this shameful, particularly if he was not given a hearing with which to defend himself or face his accusers. While his political views are shared by a large proportion of the U.S. population, the administration at DePaul seems to be emulating a Stalinest regime that punishes dissent from the "correct" view.

The surge of anti-Semitism in US universities --- tolerated, at times even encouraged, by administrators and some faculty under the guise of being kind to Muslim Student Extremists --- is a threat to all of us, Jewish or not. Let us hope that this petition helps convince the head of Depaul not just to reinstate Professor Klocek, but to affirm vigorously that the university is fully committed to the free exchange of ideas.

Free soeech and freedom of intellectual inquiry are foundations of a democratic society. Theocratic totalitarian states which are based on Islam are tryannies because a small group of self appoiinted clerics dictate the actions of those who are not free to choose. There are no human or democratic rights in a state where individuals do not have the freedom to choose or not chose a religion as a human right. It is ironic that Islamic youth are recruited to become weapons of mass destruction based on this system. This is indoctrination like that of the kamakaze pilots of WWII. It is equally ironic that Muslim youth in this country use the freedom of a democracy to engage in actions which are reminiscent of the Hitler Youth. The dismissal of this professor is the intellectual equivalent of the rampaging mob on Krystalnacht. A Catholic institution should remember the role of the Catholic Church in World War II and be determined to examine its principles in a democratic society and repudiate the academic travesty in which it has engaged.

The terrible struggle to obtain accurate news about events in Israel and Palestine is exacerbated by a seemingly knee-jerk assumption made by DePaul University in dismissing Professor Klocek. It would be of great benefit to all Americans to provide a proper hearing and discover the actual facts that led to such a judgement on him.

Their treatment of Professor Klocek was illegal, immoral, and offensive to anyone who believes in God. The Torah teaches that a Judge who judges righteously is God's partner in creation, as the world is founded on justice. But one who judges unrighteously, desecrates God's name and denies His existance. There was no justice in De Paul's firing of Prof. Klocek.What they did was both cowardly and un-Godly. Shame on you!

How terrible for DePaul to treat Professor Klocek with such disdain for the crime of teaching truth. For shame. The supposed "intellectuals" at DePaul would do well to investigate the Muslim students' claims about Israel before assuming the truth of their statements. Or are investigation and the discovery of truth now superfluous inconveniences for the omniscient individuals who fired Professor Klocek without delay? Being Muslim does NOT automatically mean that one speaks the truth about Israel, or anything else for that matter.

Academic freedom is a two way street. Unpopular or politically incorrect speech is also
protected by the First Amendment's Freedom of Speech clause. Even opprobrious langusge is protected. If the language at issue expresses a criminal intent, conspiracy, obscenity, defamation and/or leads to an immediate riotious behaviour, then it is not protected
under our Federal Constitution

From the news reports-- Professor
Klocek's language appears to be in the former category and he also allegedly did not appear to receive a due process hearing before dismissal

Please rectify this oversight

high reputation.

Why is Israel-bashing licit, and the defense of that beleaguered nation against outlandish changes illicit? The sort of loose language and looser thinking to which Prof Klocek was offering a much-needed corrective should not go without counter-argument in any intellectually honest discussion.

If Prof. Klocek is not reinstated, history will judge DePaul University as among those who proudly collaborated with radical political-correctness, anti-semitism, and anti-western hate. Those who now lead DePaul should reconsider just how they wish to appear in those history books yet to written. Your caving in to Islamist terrorists and their pro-terror enablers will not earn praise from your children and grandchildren when they grow up. So hey, why not consider actually supporting America, Israel, Freedom, and Western Civilization in general? After all, you wouldn't even have your precious university if it wasn't for western civilization. And DePaul will surely be forcibly turned into yet another madrassah, if the Islamists ever win their war against us. And no, my dear DePaul executives, you will NOT get to keep your jobs (tenure or not) when that happens.

This professors dismssal is an outrage, and a clear message that DePaul supports anti-semitism. Isreali policy of reprisals against terrorists who cravenly hide behind human shields may not be equated to the actions of the Nazi's. The difference is apparent to anyone with the slightest moral compass. I would not be surprised to see an institution that supported this flawed notion of moral equivalency to, eventually, punish those who *fail* to deny the holocaust. The next holocaust, and the blood of jews yet to be spilled, shall be on your hands.

The value of the university as the Wall Street in the free market of ideas is quickly being eroded. To punish a professor for expressing an opinion, regardless of how offensive that opinion might be to any student as long as it is delivered in a rational, respectful manner, cheapens the coin of the Academy even more. I highly doubt that Drs. Holtschneider and Dumbleton would consider terminating a professor because his or her loudly expressed beliefs in relation to abortion offend Christian students, and by giving the completely illegitimate complaints of Muslim students the effective power to end the employment of any professor who does not subscribe to their view of Israel as a genocidal new Nazi Germany is pathetic, and cowardly.

Actions on behalf of dePaul are tantamount to Nazi tactics and are deplorable. It seems dePaul and other universities are fearful of any confrontation (instituted by Muslim students). Professor Klocek is to be admired and officials of DePaul are to be deplored.

Peop;e who compare Israeli treatment of Palestinians to that of the Nazis to the Jews in the Holocaust should be chastized; the professor who admonished students who made this claim should be praised for his honesty and courage.

329 2006-06-21 Name: Irma Esrig Hitler started his career persecuting Jews. But most Christians didn't care. They found out, almost too late, that many Christians in Europe, like Poles, Russians, Englishman, were next.

It is time for Christians to wake up & acknowledge Muslim spoken desire to recapture Spain & take over the West, presumably with forced conversions of non-Muslims.

In other words, Jews are like the canary in the mine: persecution of Jews is the first step to persecution of others.

If this professor is not reinstated without any penalty, then there will no longer be any academic freedom in any university community. As a result, freedom of speech, which is the basis of our democracy, will no longer exist in the academic world. I urge this university to reinstate this professor, and not allow themselves to be threatened or pressured by a minority group, who do not have the freedoms we value, in the countries they or their parents, originated from.

From the facts it seems as if due process proceedings were lacking in this case. There should be a thorough and impartial review of the matter before any penalty, reprimand, or other action is upheld. And of course academic freedom should be considered as the main value to be upheld.

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.

177 2006-06-21 Name: Nira Sawicki Dear Rev. Dennis H. Holtschneider and Susanne M. Dumbleton:

Which part was it that prompted you to dismiss Professor Thomas Klocek? Was it that he disputed the likening of Israeli conduct to that of the Nazi regime? Was it that he did not engage in Israel-bashing, which is what the students wanted?
AND how is it - dear Rev. & dear Dean - that your students get offended when Israel is not likened to the Nazi regime? What do you really promote, under the guise of "academia", in your School for New Learning -- how "NEW" is it?

I join here with everyone else in demanding that Professor Thomas Klocek be promptly Reinstated without penalty! And with an over-due apology!

I also ask that you closely examine the culture you come from (and draw on), and any underlying motivation that had allowed for such a transgerssion to take place.

Rather than using the School for New Learning as a front for something else.. not so New, I encourage you to entertain the possibilty of advancing true exploration that benefits human kind -- it would serve us all better.

There is simply no defense for DePaul's actions in this case.

It is shocking to read about the firing of Prof. Klocek without due process and clearly in violation of the university's own articles. How can Rev.

Muslims must get used to accepting criticism and debate.

They also need to understand that their hatred of Israel is irrational and wrong and should not translate into a terror war here in America.

The academic community cannot be muzzled because the Islamic community wants to protect themselves from others who have a right to criticize those who possess extreme ideas that need to be refuted in an academic context.

Muslims intimidation of academics and guest speakers at universities across Canada and the U.S. are stifling teachers and students ability to excercise freedom of speech.
