Sorry to hear about your friend's daughter - but that can happen anywhere. I do know that there are conservatives on campus and they are not holding their fire. The UCSB GOP club is hosting Ben Stein at a lecture this Thursday night. That ought to shake things up a tad!
Great news -- and a change from when I was there.
Yes it can, but I wish you'd been at that "graduation ceremony." It could have been taken from the Red Chinese sequence in the movie "The Red Violin." I'm glad to hear there are now some active conservatives on campus.
That graduation was what woke me up as a conservative and convinced me quiet disapproval wasn't going to do the job. It would take money -- mine! -- and as much political effort as I could put into stemming the stealthy subversion that's radicalized American campuses since the 1960s.
