The College Castrati have spoken.

Jeremiah Wright, Bill Ayers, or Bernadine Dohrn would fit right in with the academic aholes.

Diversity at most colleges is skin deep.

Public education, from K to college, has destroyed America. There is NO argument.

Public education, the media, Hollywood and the music industry. It’s amazing there are any conservatives at all.

The left has controlled education for many years. This is how they’ve infiltrated every industry and institution.

Maybe Conservatives should slow hiring from particular Universities, or look very closely at elective courses potential employees have taken.

I remember in college it was popular amongst those who fancied themselves intellectuals to quote the old chestnut from Votaire about not agreeing with what you say but being willing to defend to the death your right to say it. Nice words, but they were saying wasn't that they welcomed dissent, it was more like "this is how it should be for me when I want to say anarchist things, you must accept my right to be heard". For example, when they'd throw the whole "no blood for oil" stuff out there and everyone on campus yawned, they'd claim since nobody cared about their baloney they were being suppressed somehow and roll out Voltaire.

But ask some lefties to listen to Ann Coulter and Voltaire is suddenly missing from the discussion. They ought to just change it to "You may not agree with what I say but you must defend to your death my right to determine the only view spoken."

I used to work at a very liberal university, and Ann Coulter was invited to speak by the college Republican group on campus. There were a few minor protests, mostly picketing, but there were no incidents. The president of the university responded to the e-mails and calls he had received objecting to her appearance and he sent a letter out to all that said that free speech and all viewpoints were welcome on campus, which I found surprising for a university as liberal as this one.
