Oh boy. This one’s getting coverage everywhere.
Mr. Malchow at the Dartblog wrote a fine summary:
“The college chaplain at U. Mass-Amherst is Kent Higgins. Like chaplains at many colleges, he is more than an administrator for campus faith organizations; call him a community organizer, bucking up the events, speakers, and causes which hew to his leftward bent, and attenuating those that do not. In this instance, it appears that Mr. Higgins laid intricate groundwork to secure for Obama canvassers academic credit “for the experience.” The scheme started to gain attention, and Mr. Higgins hastily put together the same package for McCain supporters. Really a rather funny story, which ends happily on account of—what else?—public embarrassment.”
The NAS’ Peter Wood has the play-by-play, then he follows it up with a piece at Phi Beta Cons.
University Diaries describes herself as an “enthusiastic Obama supporter” and still thinks it was a stupid idea.
I’m with Hube - I don’t believe them, either.
