Current Events

As a service to aspiring young college students studying American Heritage, periodically I'll write a little about local, national, and world events.

The big event this week happened five years ago, this being the fifth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.

- Many commemorations took place across the country
o New York
o Utah

- ABC aired a special “Path to 9/11” that wasn’t particulary kind to either President Bush or President Clinton. Democrats were pretty thinned skinned and pressured ABC to yank the feature from broadcasting, to no avail.
- President Bush gave an anti-terrorism speech; Democrats shrieked like stuck pigs.

Meanwhile BYU has placed Physics professor Steven Jones, on paid administrative leave while they investigate how well his “research” has been peer reviewed. I wrote my thoughts here. Apparently the American Association of University Professors thinks no professor should be held to account for their actions.
