Bennett made mistake in hiring of Malveaux
I recall my dismay upon learning that Julianne Malveaux had been selected president of Bennett College, and remarked to my family that it would not take long for her to reveal herself as the far left hater she undeniably is.
The New & Record's April 21 reprimand of her for her racist comments regarding the Duke case, will, unfortunately, be the first of many.
I will never forget her comments regarding Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, to the effect that she "hoped that his wife would feed him lots of eggs and butter so he would die early, as so many black men do, as he was an absolutely reprehensible person."
That Bennett College has selected such an individual to not only lead the college but serve as a role model for impressionable young women was ill advised and will do little to elevate the conversation or the status of Bennett College.

Are you surprised? The voices of moderation are ignored in America in favor of those who wish to balkanize, and thereby control us.

Last time I checked, we had free speech in this country. I think the President of Bob Jones University is a nut, but I'm not going to write an editorial to the newspaper about it.

You've created a vicious circle, LC: in reminding WJ of Dr. Malveaux's right to free speech, you are admonishing him for exercising his own.
