ACLU plans statement backing Cooper at Arkansas uni
The ACLU plans a statement tonight in support of Dr. Grant Cooper, a self-styled Communist history teacher at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. ACLU president Dr. Otto Henry Zinke said the position had not been finalized, but the legal panel and officers agreed the action. Local taxpayer plaintiff Frank B. Henslee said the move was expected and stressed law over academic freedom. The administration is already investigating Cooper, and a Friday Legislative Council proposal to probe the case was reconsidered amid the suit. The Student Senate later defeated a resolution urging university backing for Cooper.
