“”Virtually all secular Western “Universities” have become close-minded.”

You are absolutely correct. The concept of intellectual freedom and exchange of ideas has become a joke. I am sad beyond words about what we've allowed to happen. I hate to say it, but only when people like ‘Giant Vagina Man’ get their a**es kicked for this behavior will they stop. This whole thing stinks of totalitarianism, and the only way to deal with dictators is to take away their soapbox and whatever power they may have.

Because of the nature of totalitarian statists, the only way to do this is with overwhelming superior force.

Yep.. "intellectual freedom," only extending to the freedom to ridicule any stance countering the prevailing progressive tilt in this country. Ditto for the purported "exchange of ideas." Only ideas that are grounded firmly in the hard-left range of the political sphere are acceptable.
