[Peace-discuss] [sf-core] The myth of freedom

[C. G. Estabrook]

Do you mean to suggest that the academy would penalize people for  
their political opinions? Zut alors!

The following is from the Yale faculty webpage:

"John Stoehr is the editor of the Advocate, New Haven's alternative  
source of investigative news, political commentary and cultural  
criticism. He is an associate fellow at the Yale Journalism  
Initiative. He has more than a decade of experience in journalism at  
daily and weekly newspapers around the country. During that time, he  
had the honor of being selected three times as a fellow of the Arts  
Journalism Institutes of the National Endowment for the Arts. He is a  
recipient of the Lilly Scholarships in Religion for Journalists. His  
writing has appeared in The American Prospect, Columbia Journalism  
Review, Dissent, National Memo, Religion Dispatches and The Forward,  
among others. He has taught writing, journalism and media studies at  
Quinnipiac University, the College of Charleston (S.C.) and Georgia  
Southern University. He is a co-founder of Flyover: Art in the  
American Outback and he blogs about politics for The Huffington Post  
and the New Deal 2.0."
