The Young Conservatives of Texas have created a "watch list" for professors they accuse of liberal bias.

I've experienced this. Many liberal arts professors are out of line. They are paid to teach, not to indoctrinate. I would like to see some conservative organizations tap into the alumni giving- and give on the condition that the student's rights are respected.

[I still care]

Where did people ever get the idea that teachers were supposed to do something other than teach?

A classroom is not a coffee klatch for telling everyone your philosophy of life. If you are spending an hour and a half trying to make a political point, you have lost your way.

That is not education. That is indoctrination.

These young Conservatives should also study the reports the Media Research Center puts out about Media Bias.

Neutralizing Liberal Media Bias" read by major
Conservative players!

He is no stranger to FReeperland. Here is his own idiotorial about appearing on these students' list:

They'll 'watch' but won't hear of prof's politics

[endthematrix]

I'll comment before visiting the site. The issue is not necessarily what you profess but when and where you do it. Why are professors who aren't teaching about current events like math and science ranting anti-US garbage in their classes? Sure as hell most Young Conservative want a decent public education and don't need the extra BS. Thats where the administration needs to stand up for the scholastic integrity of the university. Most just cover their butts and staff.

Though colleges have a reputation as bastions of liberalism, college students are more likely to call themselves political independents than any other affiliation, according to the ABCNEWS polling unit.

Notice how Disney News Network doesn't give polling figures on what political stripe professors align themselves with? It's the professors who are doing the indocrinating (don't echo back the right propaganda and you might not pass the course).

Political correctness thrives on college campuses. This is why colleges have a "reputation" as being bastions of liberalism. That, and tenured professors who cannot be removed. A list like this at least alerts students to things like anticapitalist socialist professors who "teach" economics.

i THINK this is answer to prayer

AND

confirmation of prophecies predicting that youth would rise up massively helping to turn the tide back toward Biblical values.

I pray it's true, increaslingly true.

MEDIA BIAS ALERT (note no Rats in the examples cited by ABCDISNEY)

The very idea of making lists of members of opposing groups has a long and checkered history in America. Hollywood once had its black list, an unwritten understanding of those who would be denied work because of their suspected affiliation or sympathy with communism. President Nixon had an infamous enemies list, and his political opponents had their own scoreboard of so-called war criminals in his Cabinet. The National Rifle Association recently put out its own listing of adversaries. Some of them said they were proud to be on it.

Hollywood had a blacklist long before the 1940s "Red Scare" (which did show the presence of Soviet agents in American government and propaganda efforts being worked into American films). Hollywood still has a blacklist to this day; try crossing a union strike and see how much work you get in Hollywood films.

President Clinton had an enemies list and he harassed them with IRS audits. Seems that many of Bill Clinton's critics got audited.

Why do I feel fairly sure that if a college *journalism* professor was putting pictures of Nathan B Forrest (founder of the KKK) up and giving lectures on how the Jews deserved what Hitler did to them, that the press would not be so fawning, and would not keep bringing up the red herring of his rights being abridged by others complaining about his hate mongering?

"President Clinton had an enemies list and he harassed them with IRS audits. Seems that many of Bill Clinton's critics got audited."

Or a mysterious gunshot wound to the head or a convenient heart-attack.

[ragnarocker]

Where is the list?

[fella]

In the beginning of colleges and universities the proffesors were paid directly by the students based on how much the student felt the teaching was worth. The old ways are the best ways. The worthless teachers would be weeded out quite quickly.
