Moore explains Oscar speech By Jack Garner, Democrat and Chronicle, Rochester, New York. March 27, 2003.

This report of a Moore speech on the campus of the University of Rochester provides an example of what liberal arts education should do for us. Nineteen-year-old Debbie Grodzick is confused by the many perspectives she hears on the war. Exposure to all those many perspectives is how we get the data to understand the issue better. Debbie Grodzick is in the process of thinking critically enough to make up her own mind. Good for her!

" But the Moore protesters were outnumbered by about 70 war protesters who sang “Give Peace A Chance” and “The Star Spangled Banner.”

“I think he’s a hero,” said John Annechino, a 19-year-old student from Ogden. As for the war, “It’s illegal, it’s immoral and unjust.”

Others are still making up their minds. Debbie Grodzicki, 19, a UR sophomore from Brighton, who recently saw Bowling for Columbine, was impressed and came to hear Moore.

“I’m very confused with all the views on war and wanted to see what he had to say,” she said. Moore did not completely sway her, but, she said, “He seems to know what he’s talking about.” From Filmmaker Moore brings anti-Bush views to UR campus By Matthew Daneman and John Kohlstrand. Democrat and Chronicle March 27, 2003.
