The article focuses on a campaign launched by the magazine FrontPage related to the Chapel Hill based University of North Carolina (UNC). The campaign "Tell the Good Folks at UNC-Chapel Hill What You Think of Their Decision to Allow Anti-American Rallies on Their State-Supported Campus," apparently aimed at pressuring UNC's administrators and trustees to sharpen their knives. The UNC administration has received several hundred angry e-mails and has been excoriated on the floor of the North Carolina legislature. But no actual damage has been done. Chancellor James Moeser has issued strong statements in defense of his faculty's right to free speech.
