George Will’s opinion is no longer welcome in the pages of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
The Missouri newspaper announced Wednesday that it would no longer carry the Washington Post columnist’s work, in part because a recent column argued colleges’ efforts to combat sexual assault made being a campus rape victim a “coveted status.”
“The change has been under consideration for several months, but a column published June 5, in which Mr. Will suggested that sexual assault victims on college campuses enjoy a privileged status, made the decision easier,” the newspaper wrote in an editor’s note. “The column was offensive and inaccurate; we apologize for publishing it.”
Will’s column on sexual assault was widely panned and drew a rebuke from four Democratic senators who torched his “ancient beliefs.” He’ll be replaced at the St. Louis Post-Dispatch by another conservative Washington Post columnist, Michael Gerson.
So any minute now some idiot on the right is going to scream 1st Amendment and censorship. Which will only prove, once again, they are Constitutionally clueless.
Can we fire his toupee?
George isn’t held in the same regard as say, Hannity or Limbaugh. He uses words with more than 2 syllables and stuff, so he can’t fully be trusted. So I doubt you are going to see the RWNJs coming to his rescue.
More of this, please.
If anything, Gerson is a step DOWN from Will.
