                               YALE WINS

  (Mr. POE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. POE. Madam Speaker, Yale University has won first place in the 
Annual Campus Outrage Award. The award is given to universities that 
worship the God of political correctness. Yale wins this year because 
according to the College Network who bestows the award, ``Yale enrolled 
a former Taliban official with a fourth grade education in the name of 
the sacred cow, diversity, which now appears to extend to the enemy 
combatants who make war on the United States.''
  According to the Washington Times, second place went to DePaul 
University, which ``suspended a professor without a hearing after the 
professor attempted to debate students handing out pro-Palestinian 
literature.''
  DePaul was also recognized for suppressing free speech rights of 
students who protested a professor's writings that said the United 
States deserved to be attacked on September 11, 2001.
  Other universities who received awards were Stanford and Holy Cross 
for attempting to prohibit articles in their campus newspapers that 
criticized left wing philosophies.
  Madam Speaker, have some of our universities lost their way by 
prohibiting liberty to those individuals who disagree with the 
university's elitist, narrow-minded snobbery? And that's just the way 
it is.
