Dear Jen,
Ruth Malhotra wants to thank you. You don't know who she is, but
believe me, you've had a hand in helping her win a battle in our
NATIONAL CAMPAIGN FOR ACADEMIC FREEDOM.
Like so many -- too many! -- young conservative students in
America, Ruth found herself being singled out for abuse by a professor
who simply hated Ruth's political views. Ruth -- an A-student at
Georgia Tech -- mentioned to her professor that she was going to
attend the conservative conference sponsored by C-PAC in Washington,
D.C.
Without batting an eyelash, the professor told Ruth "Well, then,
you will probably fail my course." Can you imagine the arrogance and
sense of superiority this professor must have assumed when she
unflinchingly told Ruth she was going to see to it she failed?
She proceeded to give Ruth "Fs" on all of her work papers, tests,
quizzes and eventually forced Ruth to withdraw from her class.
Thanks to you, though, Ruth was able to fight back! First, Ruth
reached out to the Georgia Tech Chapter of Students for Academic
Freedom (SAF). SAF chapters are on more the 200 campuses across the
country, created as part of our NATIONAL CAMPAIGN for ACADEMIC FREEDOM
... you've played a powerful role in this!
I went to Georgia to join in Ruth's cause. I took her to the
governor's office and asked them to help. I went to the Dean of
Diversity and said, "You claim to teach respect for difference. Will
you defend Ruth?" The Dean said she would. Together we scored two
victories: Ruth was allowed to retake the course under a different
professor, and the professor who tried so hard to punish Ruth for her
political views has been banned from teaching in the Public Policy
Department!
Ruth Malhotra's story is just one of the many triumphs our Campaign
has witnessed.
But we're still engaged in a true fight where we face entrenched
leftist professors and administrators who brazenly espouse a sickening
anti-American propaganda...
It will take continued courage and resolve to bring true balance to
our campuses again. That's precisely why I'm writing you today.
Will you stick with me? Will you gird us again as conservative
students across America ready for a new academic year?
Perhaps you can afford the Campaign a gift of $50 again. If possible,
an increased gift of $100 would be fantastic. Regardless of the
amount, however, your generosity is genuinely appreciated - and much
needed.
Throughout the letter I've provided blue links for you to access
and stand with me and the
NATIONAL CAMPAIGN FOR ACADEMIC FREEDOM. My hope is that you'll
take a moment now and recommit to this powerful project. Thank you
and God bless you and your family.
Sincerely,
David Horowitz, President & Founder
P.S. Take a look at the nice "thank you" note from Ruth Malhotra.
You can take pride in the fact that you played a role in that
triumph. And, if possible, lend your support to
CSPC's NATIONAL CAMPAIGN FOR ACADEMIC FREEDOM today. Thanks
again.
