Mitch,
I think an arguement can be made that Fr. Dease is right but that he and the rest of academia is so hypocritcal on the issue that they don't have a leg to stand on. The lovely Ms. Coulter is nothing but a wind-up and a flame thrower, a rather good one mind you. An arguement "can" be made that "wind-ups" and "flame-throwers" have no real place in a "true" academic setting. Unfortunately, liberal "wind-ups" and "flame-throwers" are revered as "truth-tellers". I'm sure if someone was really interested in pounding on St. Thomas, they could find people who came to speak at St. Thomas who were much worse then Ann and who Fr. Dease had nothing to say about their "hate-speech".
The conservative groups at St. Thomas could have brought in any number of conservative speakers, anbody from NR for example, who could have served the purpose of having an academic discussion from a conservative point of view. I think it was a poor choice by the St. Thomas groups.

I think St. Thomas is probably a lot more "relatively" conservative then you give them credit for especially when you consider your local options. If you could afford it, where would you send your kids instead of St. Thomas? Macalaster? Hameline? the U?!?! It's not like the Jesuits run the place.
I mean if you look at the stated mission of the new St. Thomas law school it is inherently conservative in that they are trying to root the education in 2,000 years of Catholic thinking.

I think something happened to the Coulter blockquote. Nothing showing up, even in the HMTL source.
