The Center for Consumer Freedom reports:
Fallout continues to accumulate from a recent “Revolutionary Environmentalism” conference at Cal State Fresno. The February conclave featured classroom visits from violent radicals like convicted arsonist Rodney Coronado, anti-American terrorist “spokesperson” Craig Rosebraugh, and Animal Liberation Front evangelist Gary Yourofsky. At first, it appeared that the event’s harshest critics might be in the California legislature, where two state senators have threatened to withhold a portion of Fresno State’s funding. But now it looks like the university is also answering to a federal grand jury.
The Fresno Bee reported on Saturday that university officials, answering a grand jury subpoena, have turned over a video recording of at least one “Radical Environmentalism” conference session, which was closed to the public. Authorities aren’t saying exactly what they’re investigating, but this may be part of a wide-ranging criminal investigation that has triggered the defense mechanisms of several radical animal-rights groups in recent months.
