“Trancredo may be allowed to speak, but the lunatic student body will attempt to disrupt the speech. Students at Chapel Hill simply cannot allow dissenting - that is, conservative - views on campus. “
Chapel Hill is actually one of the odd places where the average student is more conservative than the average “grown up.” The town is full of fruitcakes while the student body as a whole actually has a lot of kids from more conservative parts of the state. There is a hard core contingent of brick throwing loons but they aren’t representative of the average kid. Speaking as a Chapel Hillian with a graduate degree from there I can say that the average student is much more concerned with how to find beer and how to find extracurricular activities than doing anything political.
