If he's unhappy with what he hears, Andrews vowed, he'll sponsor legislation to "ensure academic freedom."

Academic Freedom!
It seems like only yesterday!

[smith288]

I wonder how such a bill would look?

Inestigation which would include spy students with video cameras?

[KC_Conspirator]

I think this bill is warranted. I remember that a recent poll had democrats outnumbering Republicans 29-1 on the University of Colorados faculty/staff. Thats outrageous.

As someone who has been a victim of leftist bias on campus, I am glad some are finally going after these campus nazis.

The trouble is that everyone on staff is liberal, and they like to keep it that way. Good luck getting tenure if your colleagues know you're a conservative...

What I think would be appropriate would be for public universities to have their faculty appointments managed by an independent accreditation board.

[concerned about politics]

Worried that left-wing professors are using college classrooms to bully those who don't toe the liberal line, a Colorado politician says it might be time to pass a law protecting students who hold more conservative or religious views.

It's about time !! All states should do something to help those poor kids in the socialist indoctrination centers!

[The Great RJ]

A better solution is to send your kids to more conservative private colleges. If they have good grades and SAT/ACT scores, the scholarships available at many schools reduce the price to very comparable to state universities.

Warning: During the school year in particular, this can be a high volume ping list.

I don't think this law would work in the way intended; it would probably wind up backfiring, and only increasing anti-conservative bigotry on campus.

[Holden Magroin]

This is a publicity stunt to expose liberal hypocrisy and ruffle a few liberal feathers. But I seriously doubt there's a blacklist anywhere against conservative job applicants. The fact of the matter is that few conservatives are interested in pursuing careers in academia.

When I was a student, I only had only one professor who seriously tried to indoctrinate her class. But this lady was so far to the left, she made Ted Kennedy look like a centrist. Among other things, she made the class watch a documentary narrated by Susan Sarandon on the School of the Americas, listen to audiotape lectures by Ralph Nader on the military-industrial complex, and read textbooks published by some obscure "independent" publisher. (I think part of the proceeds went to save the rainforests.) Most of the students finally turned against her when she said that high school football perpetuated capitalist patriarchy.

Oh believe me, they do. I've had more than one run in with extremely liberal professors who DO bully conservative students. And I really hate it when professors express their political opinions day in and day out, and hold no respect for other views. Makes me want to scream.
