Penn State’s MSA Invited Neo-Nazi

As we noted yesterday, Pennsylvania State University has shut down Jewish student Joshua Stulman’s art exhibit about the effects of Palestinian terrorism, saying it “did not promote cultural diversity or opportunities for democratic dialogue.”

It should be pointed out that in 2003, Penn State paid for the Muslim Student Association (MSA) to hold an event called “Islam Awareness Week,” and the MSA used Penn State’s money to invite a blatant, long-discredited antisemite with ties to neo-Nazi groups to speak—the “Reverend” William W. Baker, former chairman of the hate group known as the Populist Party.

UPDATE at 4/23/06 5:13:18 pm:

LGF reader MSMediaCritic has had email communications with the university about Joshua Stulman’s exhibit, and it appears that the decision to shut it down may be reversed.

UPDATE at 4/24/06 8:46:29 am:

Correction: Antisemite William Baker was invited to the University of Pennsylvania, not Penn State University.
