Academic Freedom
Ahmad Al-Qloushi is a Kuwaiti student at a college in California. During the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait he was a small child and several of his family members were tortured and one even died. He is very greatful for the United States for freeing him and his family. His Introduction to American Government and Politics professor assigned the class a paper on the constitution and he wrote a paper in praise of the constitution and the founding fathers. So of course his professor did what one would expect and threatened him with possible deportation if he did undergo regular psychiactric care. When the local media found out about this his professor filed a grievance against him with the school. Ahmed is now the President of Foothill’s College Republicans and is trying to form a chapter of Students for Academic Freedom.
