b'In March 2018 I had a live\\xa0interview scheduled\\xa0with\\xa0Dr. Kevin Barrett\\xa0on my monthly show, "The Beloved Community" on KBOO. Through a smear campaign led by Rose City Antifa complete with name-calling, character assassination, and a deluge of tweets and phone calls, the station staff and management were pressured to stop the interview and actually ban Kevin Barrett from being on the air. (Staff and management claim they were not pressured.) I appealed the decision but my appeal was never addressed. Dr. Barrett never had an opportunity to defend himself. Volunteers or the membership never had an opportunity to review this process.\\xa0\\nOn December 13th, 2019\\xa0I broadcast a pre-recorded show\\xa0that included audio from the last sermon I gave to my church, an interview with Dr. David Ray Griffin and a speech Dr. Kevin Barrett delivered at a\\xa0KBOO-sponsored event at Portland State in February 2018 about US-Saudi relations.\\xa0Staff, in response to phone calls, stopped the broadcast in the midst of Dr. Barrett\'s speech and played Christmas music! In protest to this personal disrespect and censorship, I decided to take a sabbatical from my volunteer duties and support of KBOO and move my show to a platform that respects the spirit of the First Amendment.\\xa0You can read my story here.\\nOver Christmas, Dr. Barrett\\xa0interviewed me for his radio show, Truth Jihad, and gave me permission and encouragement to rebroadcast that interview on my program.'
