First Amendment and Man at

First Amendment and Man at Saint Cloud State - A member of the St. Cloud State University's College Republicans.is accusing a university professor of attacking him.

The student, Zach Spoehr, is accusing Professor Rona Karasik of attacking him after he tried to take pictures of the booth.

Karasik said she felt the display had ``anti-Semitic material.''

Karasik became upset because she felt the use of the flag sent the message that the College Republicans had the support of the Israeli government and the Israeli people, said Nathan Church, vice president for student life and development.

So what was this anti-semitic material?

The display featured literature prepared and paid for by Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership, Israel's flag, and a list of terrorism victims in Israel.

So self-defense and acknowedging one has been attacked is "anti-semitic"?

As the email correspondent said in referring this piece to me: "Only in Minnesota".

Sadly, that's not true.
