I agree with the author, however, that making a civil rights claim out of political discrimination is nearly impossible under federal law

Maybe so, but how about state laws? Maybe we need some pilot cases involving state universities using taxpayers' money to hire ONLY liberal professors to the exclusion of all others.......i.e., a "pattern of discrimination", as civil rights attorneys like to say.

I wonder if some state laws are being violated. ???

The sad fact is were the opposite true, the liberals would be in an uproar, and the media would be on this 24/7 making court cases unnecessary. Remember when the media attacked Bob Jones University? (I hope that is the name). The constant criticism of it's conservative Christian views and rules caused an uproar that led to compromises being made.
