Yeah I see the merit in leaving it. But I was an academic for 5 years and I know the obligation the university is under to protect and promote discussion and debate about a wide diversity of ideas.

Anything short of hate speech should be allowed in a classroom. It is after all a university.

If we believe in democracy we make our voices heard. If they come for Steven Jones who do they come for next?

We can't afford to give any ground. BYU is the frontline in the struggle to get the truth about 9/11 out into the light and uphold our freedoms in the process.

So I'm sorry if Jones says he doesn't need any help. The issue he is at the center of is larger than his suspension. It's about 9/11 and the threat to our society and the values we cherish. We've all got a stake in that one.
