This says a lot that is wrong at our universities—where social outlaws are celebrated and given huge speaking fees—and with the murderer Jack Kevorkian. At his recent speech at Nova Southeastern University in Florida, he had an American flag behind him with the Swastika in the field of stars. From the story:
On Thursday night, Jack Kevorkian pulled another stunt in front of an audience of thousands at Nova Southeastern University: “Let’s all say the Pledge of Allegiance,” he said, then flipped a U.S. flag to reveal a replica on the other side with a swastika where the blue and stars would have been.
Since Kevorkian’s obsession was to conduct human experimentation on people he was euthanizing, perhaps he was speaking about himself with the flag stunt.
That thousands of people turned out to see him shows the decadent power of celebrity that is rotting decency and virtue in our culture.
