Thanks.

I remember when college was THE place for honest, informative debate. It was encouraged.

Ahhhh, the good old days. (early 1980's)

You'll probably want the Admin to pull that post. Undestandable sentiment, but not something you want tied to your name in anyway.

[Bob J]

Let's settle for getting him fired.

You misunderstand,

I'm sure this was all done in the name of open minded tolerance and acceptance. Have you ever been on a college campus? You'd be stunned to see what the lectures in say a math class deal with: like voting for John Kerry. I don't know what this has to do with Calculus, but they do it anyway. Even when you're not in class, you can expect email from your professors to keep you in the know about lefty causes.

When they take something down, it's all in the name of good taste and professionalism. To call it censorship is wrong. Just cause they're filtering information is irrelevant. That's why they're in the halls of academia and you wallow in filth.

There is no such thing as an abuse of power at colleges and universities. They're thinking about the little people like you. So stop trying to reign them in and let them get back to the work of the American people.

Hey I can hope bad things happen to him without advocating that someone force it.

Bob,

Is there any proof that this goof has had any effect on the young man's career?

[Dead Dog]

True, I just don't want to give MN4BUSH flavored losers ammunition.

Yep, that's when I was the Univ of Minnesota - the early to mid 80's.

The Political Science Dept was considered left of center - but many of the profs (and grad assistants) were academically honest.

I truly felt that I was receiving an education (and not an indocrination) when I was there.

How things have changed. I went back to the U about 3 years ago to get my BA. The Political Science Dept has made a hard lurch to the left.

It's reflected in the courses taught and in the bios and academic works of the current crop of professors.

I recently told the Political Science Dept to remove me from their mailing lists as there was no way I'd even think of donating towards a scholarship or Endowed Chair.

Is David Horowitz and his organization aware of this?

[HowlinglyMind-BendingAbsurdity]

They would have to fire the vast majority of liberal professors in the country
if this type of hazing were to be investigated thoroughly.

"Wallace Hettle , in my opinion, embodies everything that is wrong with the modern academy. If his behavior over the last several days is any indication, he is doctrinaire and vindictive; and he is an intellectual coward who uses his authority to crush dissent and punish those who dare to voice it."

Despicable.

[Puppage]

It's a crying shame, isn't it?
