IMHO, What Newt is really touting, is for colleges and Universities to clean up their act with these anti-Americans and other plagiarists amongst them - Or Else! Tenured or otherwise, teachers who lie and cheat should be given their walking papers and I suspect some of those employees are getting right down nervous as well as the Boards who support same.
Hah, hah, hah, the left thinks we've gone so right wing... we have not yet BEGUN to go right wing. Especially if we get attacked again.
What is so sacrosanct about tenure? Does that give you the right to publish anything which is conceived out of thin air? Or to spew any propaganda in your poisoned mind,to your students. True, education should be the expression and opportunity to widen your horizons, but most universities now operate in a very narrow and restricted political horizon.
The education, especially in Liberal Arts,being taught at the universities is loaded with political propaganda and our students, who obviously represent our country's future, should not have to be a captive audience to these screeds without some prospective penalty to those who spew it.
