Horowitz Closes Academic Freedom Hearings

A Tale of Two Testimonies-A veteran professor and a student at Temple testify at Pennsylvania's Academic Freedom Hearings.

Horowitz is tireless--just about the only authentic voice against the leftist leviathan that is our University. I hit his site every day, and recommend it for all conservatives.

We have our media, we have our conservative government (Ok,but it's a start), Hollywood is imploding...now, if we could just liberate academia.

Absolutely. Every true conservative should make it a point to watchdog their own alma mater and hold it publicly accountable- especially when they are hounding you for donations. There should be a Students for Academic Freedom chapter at every university, particularly those which are part of our taxpayer funded state university system.

Thanks, freepers, for the posts.
D.H. really delivers. :)

Donate a little to his cause! Halliburton and Scaife aren't as rich as Soros! Our side has to depend on a lot of small donors, anyway. The most interesting underreported story of the funding of the GOP vs. the DNC, left vs. right. The libs have their handful of Mandarins, we have millions of pajama wearers.

Horowitz is a national treasure. Read his books. Learn from this former communist the real danger posed by his former comrades.

I think he's doing a valuable service with his criticisms of academia. Just how much traction he's getting, I just don't know, but it's nice to see someone out there making the case.

[Mamzelle]

Well, you never know--I'm old enough to remember when all we had was Rush!

Ping to a great read.

He defines one more item of the Communist Manafesto i.e. controlling hgiher education. It's scary.

I went to a Catholic university in PA (which shall remain nameless) and the extreme lib in the Sociology class that I was forced to take (stupid liberal arts requirement) made it clear that Roe v. Wade was to be taken as a proud achievement in the goal of social redress. I was ten seconds from writing to the Vatican of what was taking place there, not only from the professor's words but also in the textbook that had been written by a member of the faculty. I should have followed through with it.

"now, if we could just liberate academia."

And he's going for the jugular since the NEA was founded in PA and is entrenched in all levels of education!

I think he's doing a valuable service with his criticisms of academia.

Agree...His Books; Radical Son, Politic of Bad Faith, Left Illusions and the Art of Political War, were/are Fine Reads.

Great--thanks for posting. I have a daughter who will be going to college in September and I am doing my own indoctrination. As a matter of fact, I just spoke to her yesterday about signing up for FreeRepublic.
