I have always been arguing with people who don't really know US Berkeley that the university does not really deserve its leftist reputation and that it is increasingly a corporate university and that the student body has become as apathetic as other campuses, and that sororities and fraternities are the new craze there. I am not surprised that the university would invite an anti-Islam bigot like Bill Maher, but the fact that the student body would not mind having Maher as a commencement speaker speaks volumes about the standards of the students. If Maher or another speaker says about Judaism what Maher says about Islam, students would be picketing the administration building, and faculty would be signing petitions.
