A wise old professor in State's English Department once told me that State was always five or so years behind the times when it came to academic trendiness. This time State is not just another late entrant in another issue of left-wing academic tomfoolery but is now caught behind the law as well, a duck on the pond for any attorney with an angry client and a fat retainer. For those of us who genuinely love State, and at the same time respect the Constitution and law, State's actions here are doubly disappointing. Like Pogo, we've met the enemy and it is us.
