Kevin Barrett event on UW Oshkosh campus already sold out

The UW Oshkosh Campus Greens film series event this Thursday features the film “Loose Change 2″, which questions the Bush Administration’s role in 9/11. Following the film, controversial UW Instructor Kevin Barrett will be speaking about Academic Freedom and his opinions on 9/11 that resulted in the State Legislature calling for his firing.

Tickets were free to students last week, and became available to the public beginning this morning. By 3 p.m. they were all gone. 160 tickets claimed.

Meanwhile, two of the four events that the UW Oshkosh scheduled in response to the Barrett visit, one on “Why People Believe Weird Things” and one on “Academic Freedom” were sparsely attended, less than two dozen people at each. Two more events are yet to come, including the author of the book “Why Intelligent People believe Weird Things” oddly scheduled for Election Day, and a “Memories of 9/11″ Panel discussion on Nov. 6.

But you can also catch an anti-Kevin Barrett “Rally and Prayer Vigil” this Thursday right outside the union, sponsored by the College Republicans. They say refreshments will be provided however I doubt it will be the Eucharist.
