Bill Bennett to speak at UC
From the UC College Republicans
This is the same Bill Bennett (Former Secretary of Education and Drug Czar) who told his radio audience that "you could abort every black baby in this country, and your crime rate would go down."
Even Bush knew this was going too far. In a press conference on Friday, when asked about the comments, Scott Mcllellan said ""The president believes the comments were not appropriate."
Aside from the fact that this reflects poorly on UC, Hamilton County Commissioner Phil Heimlich is holding a private reception for Bennett immediately prior to the UC event.
The Dean of Cincinnati, appalled by this wrote an open letter to Heimlich in which he asked, "Why not cancel the upcoming meeting in the name of racial reconciliation?" In the comment section of the post, Erich Streckfuss, UC College Dems President noted that "the UC College Democrats will be protesting Bennett's appearance. More details later." I'll post more info on this if I can find any.
