DUBUQUE, IOWA (April 18, 2019) — Historian Michael Luick-Thrams will present “Banality of Virtue: Midwestern Responses to the Holocaust” on Sunday, April 28, at 7PM in Jackaline Baldwin Dunlap Technology Center’s Hadley Auditorium on the University of Dubuque campus.

The event is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served.

The presentation is sponsored by the University of Dubuque, Carnegie-Stout Public Library, Children of Abraham, and Temple Beth El.

Because I'm both a Libertarian and a loudmouth, I'm frequently hit with questions about libertarianism (and the Libertarian Party). Recently this one came up:

"What is the most controversial belief of Libertarians?"

Could it be our support of immigration-freedom (and, generally, freedom to travel)?

Or our demand for separation of school and state?

Perhaps our hard-line support for gun rights?

Or our stand for legalization of all drugs?
