Academia and Wimpy Professors.

Book recommendations made by a reference librarian at OSU Mansfield and a member of the school’s First Year Reading Experience Committee like “The Marketing of Evil” by David Kupelian, “The Professors” by David Horowitz, “Eurabia: The Euro-Arab Axis” by Bat Ye’or, and “It Takes a Family” by Sen. Rick Santorum, made 3 professors (female I presume) feel "unsafe."

So the librarian was put under investigation and has been slapped with a “sexual harassment” charge

They. Felt. Unsafe.

Can anyone here say "Wussy?"

What ever happened to strong feminists? You can't even stand up to a librarian and speak your piece without going to court because these books are so "scary?"

There are many many books on the left that make me angry or depressed, but unsafe?

Who ARE these people???

UPDATE:

"Ohio State University officials on Friday cleared Scott Savage, a librarian at the Mansfield campus, of harassment charges filed against him based on his recommendation of an anti-gay book for a freshman reading assignment. A conservative group had threatened to sue the university if the charges were not dropped. They were dropped the same day that the group went public with its complaints about the way the librarian was being treated."

A commenter tells me the professors were men, which makes the whole thing even more wussy.
