Steve Almond Stands Tall

Steve Almond, an adjunct professor of English at Boston College, resigned because Boston College invited Condoleezza Rice to be commencement speaker this year. Mr. Almond characterizes Ms. Rice as having "lied to the American people knowingly, repeatedly, often extravagantly over the past five years, in an effort to justify a pathologically misguided foreign policy."

We sure don't have many government officials who are willing to stand tall like Mr. Almond, no matter how egregious our government sins.
