Unfortunately, the psychiatrist with whom you meet has only one
relevant bit of information about you to use, regardless of what he or
she talks with you about, and that is past behavior. Since I assume
that you have not been violent in the past, he or she should have no
reason to give a negative response to the "powers that be" at Wooster.
The cloud of fear which hangs over our country has been very carefully
crafted and has hurt us more than helped us at home and throughout the
world.

I have been told by the College of Wooster that my reinstatement now
depends on passing a mental exam that the College has set up for me
on Wednesday. I will therefore not be able to teach until I meet
with a psychiatrist and convince him that I am not violent on
Wednesday. The students will have to wait another while to get back
to business with me. A real question here: should I give all of the
students in my classes a grade of A or should I punish them for any
lack of performance based on their failure to understand the
material that I have not taught them?
I don't think I need any more letters to the president for this
although you should know about it. Message is, don't ever do
anything provacative. Free speech is a fiction.
