Shame, Yale.

Yale University Press won’t be publishing the images of those Islamic cartoon caricatures in its book about said Islamic cartoon caricatures, because its advisors advised that bombs might go off somewhere, at sometime, by someone.

That an academic publishing would act so unacademically is depressing. But censoring itself to prevent imagined violence only validates extremist methods. For shame.
