Notice of this cartoon was sent to the student newspaper, The Daily Evergreen, which, as predicted, did not respond. It was also sent to David J. Leonard, who as predicted did not respond. It was sent to Leonard's immediate colleagues (see list below), as well as the President of Washington State University Elson S. Floyd, who as predicted did not respond. Only an adjunct instructor ended up responding, though via email, and not really regarding the issue evoked in the cartoon.
Vigorous debate, cornerstone of democracy, is evidently NOT prized at Washington State University.

To David Leonard, Chair, Department of Critical Culture, Gender, and Race [Indoctrination]
Studies, Washington State University at Pullman:
Your racist, stereotyping comments attracted
my attention and provoked me to sketch a cartoon on you. See http://wwwtheamericandissidentorg.blogspot.com/2013/02/david-j-leonard.html. Hopefully, though doubtfully, it might foment
at WSU a little vigorous debate, cornerstone of democracy. You and your colleagues and students are encouraged
to comment on the blog. Comments are
NEVER moderated (i.e., censored). The editors
of The Daily Evergreen have been encouraged to publish the cartoon, though if
you and your colleagues have been successful with their regard, they will likely
not be responding. Courage is, after
all, not a prime quality in academe.
