Former President of ACLU Endorses Baylor University President Ken Starr

That would be Nadine Strossen, long-time President of the American Civil Liberties Union:

“In my extensive dealings with Ken Starr over the past two decades - concerning some important civil liberties issues on which we have collaborated as allies, and other important issues on which we have strongly but respectfully disagreed - I have always found him to be not only a zealous, brilliant advocate on the biggest issues of the day, but also someone who is deeply concerned about and kind to every individual he encounters. From the students for whom he is impressively available, to the Death Row inmates whose legal appeals he has handled on a pro bono basis, he is unstintingly generous with his time, expertise, and wisdom. Ken Starr is deeply committed to academic freedom and to the robust exchange of ideas, including ideas with which he personally disagrees. He will be a superb leader of Baylor University and a wonderful mentor and role model for all of Baylor’s students.”

Of course, the current Executive Director, Anthony D. Romero, is gay, so I doubt he’d agree with this since Starr volunteered his help in defending Prop 8!

That offer is probably what got him the job at Baylor, where homosexuality is the unforgivable sin!
