Render unto Caesar

Mendell D. Morgan, the Dean of Library Services at the so-called "University" of the Incarnate Word in Texas, has cancelled its library's subscription to the New York Times because he believes that criticism of the Bush Administration is "treason".

Now all those terrorists at his "university" will remain safely unaware that Caesar is scrutinizing their banking records, telephone conversations, and e'mail. Perhaps Caesar will reciprocate by letting him read the private e'mail and listen in on the private conversations of his subjects, so that he can weed out the "traitors" who criticize him for his censorship. Or for denying them tenure. Or for not funding their departmental picnic. And if the faculty and students are blocked from knowledge of current events or history, well, so much the better for encouraging obedient loyalty, right?
