SWEET Ann Coulter :

Tenure was supposed to create an atmosphere of open debate and inquiry, but instead has created havens for talentless cowards who want to be insulated from life.

Rather than fostering a climate of open inquiry, college campuses have become fascist colonies of anti-American hate speech, hypersensitivity, speech codes, banned words and prohibited scientific inquiry.

Even leftists don't try to defend Churchill on grounds that he is Galileo pursuing an abstract search for the truth.

They simply invoke "free speech," like a deus ex machina to end all discussion.

Like the words "diverse" and "tolerance," "free speech" means nothing but: "Shut up, we win."

Good quote, I should use that when my amla mater asks for my support of a tenure candidate!
