Josh Wheeler, of The Thomas Jefferson Center for the Protection of Free Expression, talks with Les Sinclair about the controversial seminar at P.V.C.C.’s Eugene Giuseppe Center. The seminar hosted by the Greene County Sheriffs Office, scheduled to take place on November 5 at the Eugene Giuseppe Center, a multi-use room of Piedmont Virginia Community College in the Greene County Library building. The program will not include any Muslim speakers and will be led by a man who “went undercover” as a Muslim convert to help his father write a book called “Muslim Mafia: Inside the Secret Underworld That’s Conspiring to Islamize America.” As with any outside group using a PVCC facility, this event is not a PVCC event and the college does not endorse the ideas being presented. The TJCenter believes PVCC administration should be commended for recognizing that the value of the First Amendment is not that it shields ideas from criticism, but rather that it exposes them to it.
