“I’m happy that the Maricopa Community College governing board has acknowledged the importance of the First Amendment and academic freedom, even into subjects that may be controversial — without that freedom of thought and inquiry, America just isn’t America anymore.”
Nicholas Damask, chair of political science at Scottsdale Community College in Arizona, on the support he has received in the face of a lawsuit brought by the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) after a student objected to test questions on how Muslim terrorists are motivated by Islam.
