[Peace] let's make C-U a "city of refuge" for Steven Salaita

[Robert Naiman]

Let's publish it for the world - a "Pledge of Resistance," if you will -
that while we would certainly understand perfectly well why Steven Salaita
might have a bad taste in his mouth about re-accepting his appointment to
the University of Illinois when his appointment is re-instated, if he does
accept it we will welcome him back into the Champaign-Urbana community with
open arms, and form a "band of brothers" to protect him from the
News-Gazette until the Snooze-Gazoo accepts that further attempts to harass
Salaita and abridge his First Amendment and employee rights will be totally
futile, Then they'll have to content themselves with nostalgia for the
racist Chief mascot. Oops, did I say "mascot"? I meant to say "symbol."
