Yale Taliban, No Yale Diploma...Yet

Yale has reached a decision on Yale Taliban Rahmatullah Hashemi status.

Clint Taylor’s response is up due the hospitality of Allahpundit at Hot Air: This is a bizarre, freakish chapter in Yale’s history, and even though I’m glad Sayed Rahmatullah Hashemi is leaving, I actually hope the story isn’t over. I hope that Yale will continue to examine the root causes of this awful decision. Right now Yale is a place that forbids ROTC from training on campus on one hand, but at the same time welcomes an unrepentant high official of one of the vilest regimes in recent history….

… I’ve tried to give them every opportunity to get on board what I thought ought to be a bi-partisan issue. Everyone hates the woman-beating, finger-chopping, head-hacking, gay-smashing, terrorist-abetting Taliban, right? Apparently, not as much as they hate Fox News and John Fund.

Of course Mr. Taylor still has his work cut out for him.
Mrs. Maxwell said she and Mr. Hashemi’s other backers hoped he could apply again next year to the degree-granting program.

If he ultimately cannot pursue a degree at Yale, he will probably try to do so at another university in the United States.

Clint Taylor will also appear on Hannity & Colmes tonight.
