Special to WorldTribune.com By Mona Charen This story has a very troubling start, but a pretty satisfying conclusion — if it really is the conclusion. Among the contemptible episodes of student/faculty heckler’s vetoes at commencement ceremonies this year (Condoleezza Rice, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Christine Lagarde and others have been disinvited from leading universities following ignorant […]
