Colorado Senate President John Andrews then sent a letter to every college president in the state asking them to provide statements describing their protections for students and detailing any problems on their campuses.
At the same time, he convened an ad hoc legislative committee to hear from students and faculty members about whether academic freedom is adequately being protected on state-supported colleges and universities. The hearings were held on December 18.
Despite the fact that the hearings took place when most universities were in the midst of final exams, more than 30 students showed up to testify. Congregating on the third floor committee room in the Colorado State Capitol, they were joined by media representatives, college administrators, legislators, and members of the public at large.
Frontpagemag.com has obtained transcripts of this two-and-a-half-hour hearing. They reveal an environment of bias and hostility towards conservative viewpoints on Colorado campuses. We see many examples: a professor insisting that student Republicans withdraw from the Political Science Association; a professor teaching one-sided history class in which students were told that Ethel and Julius Rosenberg were "martyrs" and that Stalin was a victim of U.S. persecution; a student skipping classes out of fear of the professor's tactic of ridiculing and humiliating conservative students in front of the class, and so on.
Readers can decide for themselves whether an Academic Bill of Rights is in order for Colorado schools. [Transcript at LINK] ***
There was one white male who had scored perfect 800s. He had been admitted to graduate school.
There was one black female whose scores were around the midway point in the scale (0-800). She had been admitted as well. Her scores didn't seem any better than other scores not high enough to be admitted.
I took the GRE (twice) and scored approximately the same as the black female. My scores weren't high enough to merit entry to most schools where I applied, though one took pity on me and provided me space. I quickly determined that I am no scholar and went back to pounding nails. I'm working on a scholarly report on the intricacies of proper nail hold prior to delivering blow.
It's even worse than that. Some offenses are perfectly all right. Others are anathema--and are punished by laws with teeeeth in 'em!
"Liberals" love selective enforcement of laws and rules--and selective application. And they love dividing people into categories.
"Liberals" particularly love to assign individuals to "victim" and "predator" categories.
If a "victim" is offended, that's one thing. If a "predator" is offended, that's quite a different matter.
"Liberals", of course, reserve the authority to decide who will be assigned to what category.
If they decide to assign you to the "predator" category--heaven help you! They will show no mercy.
"Liberals" would love the taliban. All they want is to be able to set the rules--and the categories.
It's conservative speech college administrators don't want to hear. If you're not a supporter of liberal democrats and socialism then you're someone to be isolated before you offend sensitive ears.
Hey blacks, get wise. Quit whining.
Ever hear of capitalism? Buy up all the cookies for 25 cents a piece, and then sell them to all the whites for a buck! What do you say? ;)
Ain't it sweet? Capitalism is better than whinin'.
