Glendale Professor to Appear on FOX News This Afternoon
Professor Walter Kehowski from Glendale Community College is scheduled to appear on FOX News Live today at 2:35 Eastern. The segment will explore Kehowski’s recent fight to keep his job after e-mailing George Washington’s “Thanksgiving Day Proclamation of 1789” to colleagues, an act some employees found offensive because of Kehowski’s source for the speech—Pat Buchanan’s blog. Tune in to FOX News today for more on this ongoing FIRE case.
