Gov candidate: pulling UConn funds for “I Did Your Mother” TV show is censorship

When Republicans moved to slash $300 million from the University of Connecticut in their now-vetoed budget, it wasn’t the first time that Democratic gubernatorial candidate Dan Drew protested a money grab from the state’s flagship college. As a UConn senior in 2002 and editor of “The Daily Campus” student newspaper, the Middletown mayor appeared on “The O’Reilly Factor” to defend the free speech rights of a student-run television show called, “I Did Your Mother.” The eight-minute YouTube clip of a 22-year-old Drew with a boy band haircut debating Bill O’Reilly is raising eyebrows of Republicans, who have been critical of the compensation of UConn administrators and faculty in their protracted budget battle with Democrats.
