Reminds me of Carville's musing about running a $100 bill through a trailer park and seeing what it attracts.

Downs acknowledged the existence of some political bias on college campuses, which he said tends to lean toward the left. This is becoming an issue, he said, because conservatives on campus have “less patience with this sort of thing.”

Some? Yahh right.......


I'd love to see the stats if they audited Berkeley, NYU, Priceton, and Harvard.

Our Brownshirts can beat up YOUR Brownshirts!

Just kidding. No I'm not. I want to treat the liberals just as harshly as they have suppressed conservatives for the past 30 years. I want them to feel fear.

We've let these Socialists and Communists have free reign for two long. It's time for them to pay for their crimes against humanity.

Critics paint this as a free speech issue. Not so fast. If I am paying big bucks to english, anthropology, engineering, etc. professors, I expect my money's worth. I should not have to endure continuous loony lefty rants outside a poly sci class.

What on the Alumni sight is called "proof of an increasingly radical faculty" might actually be proof of an increasingly corrupt government.

One book I read over winter break called "The wisdom of crowds" had one section where it spoke of the intelligence of varied vs non-varied groups. It seems people who share similar opinions get into something called group think, and actually end up being dumb in comparison to a varied group of people, even if many of those are not so smart. In fact it talked of experiments that showed the more varied a group is, the more intelligent it is. Go figure!

Hopefully, these targeting tactics wont scare away students from following the inclination of their thought. Following that curious bird of the brain is one of the greatest joys in life, especially among educated circles.

It is a shameful thing that the"Target of the week" is someone who has not taken class time to share his arguments of thought, but instead just writes about them? I don't see any problem with that.

Hopefully, during class time, the students with their little microphones waiting for some red talk will be less of a distraction from learning then the opinions of the Target-of-the-week.
