You missed the point completely.....twas not the "school" that had the problem with what was being taught....and had been taught before Dooley. It was Dempsey who took issue with what was being taught....acting on the direction of the President who seems overly supportive of things Muslim for some reason.

This issue ignores that some very true statements about Islam will be considered offensive by Islamists despite their being honest, well articulated, critiques of some positions held by Islamic Fundamentalists.

Just because they are offended...or could possibly be offended....should not be the criteria by which course content is judged. The critieria should remain as stated....and leave politics, political correctness concerns, and individual opinions out of it.

All we have to do is look to Fort Hood and Major Hassan's mass murder to see how political correctness and fear of repercussions from above can result in very bad consequences.
