Zero Tolerance
Academics cannot call the Ground Zero shots.

By Candace de Russy

Americans are fast catching on: The International Freedom Center that is to be housed alongside the 9/11 memorial at Ground Zero — that is, within the footprints of the World Trade Center — has fallen into the hands of people who are likely to desecrate the site. The decision by the Uniformed Firefighters Association to withdraw support from the World Trade Center Memorial Foundation is but one example of the growing public awareness.

The first to sound the alarm about the IFC was Debra Burlingame, in a Wall Street Journal op-ed titled "Great Ground Zero Heist." Burlingame serves on the Foundation Board, and her brother piloted the plane that terrorists crashed into the Pentagon.

In response to her fears, and similar ones voiced by family members of 9/11 victims, Gov. George Pataki asked the center leadership to "guarantee" that its cultural and educational programming will neither disparage America nor offend the victims' families. The center has been given until September 23 to describe its plans for lectures, websites, displays, and debates.

Since primary responsibility for these programs has already been handed over to the higher-education establishment, it is doubtful that the IFC guarantee will be honored. Academics cannot even guarantee a fair treatment of contentious issues on their own campuses, so why suppose that they can protect the integrity of debate in other institutions?

Let's hope more follow. I actually sent a few letters to several unions and advocacy groups and the response has been encouraging, they ain't too pleased about what these quacks were trying to pull at the memorial.
