It happens when the truth hits close to home.
Post Secondary education: nauseating, irrelevant and overpriced. Students, in this economy, need to learn a good trade, find a job and marry it.
Minnesota has 2 of the top 10. Why are we not surprised?
I, personally, would pay good money to see the University officials involved hounded off campus, and then horse-whipped through the streets and highways of America to the nearest ocean.

These are all “liberal” attempts at censorship. Are there any conservative ones? While I am sure there are some, darn if I can think of any! Anybody?
Maybe the only good news: at least the campus has a few conservatives.
The example that cited private colleges, while grevious are within the law. The people paying for those colleges need to rise up and get those things corrected using their economic leverage.
We should all send a thank-you note to Antonio Gramscii for his efforts to establish the kind of university described in this article. While I don’t know Mr. Gramscii’s current address, I’m sure a letter sent “general delivery” to Hell should reach the man.
11. Get your "Doctorate in Social Justice" at UMass!Ha, ha. I worked at UMass Amherst as a SysOp/SysAdmin for a long time (I started by reading cards into a mainframe-attached card reader).

FREEPMAIL ME IF YOU WANT ON OR OFF THIS LIST!
4 times on the list in 10 years. Go Columbia!
Let’s not pollute the oceans with that filth.
The free speech “zone.” A student at Yuba College in California was sent an ultimatum by the school’s president: discontinue handing out gospel booklets or face disciplinary action and possibly expulsion. That’s right—gospel booklets. Ryan Dozier, the 20-year-old student, had the audacity to distribute Christian literature without a school permit, which restricts free speech to an hour each Tuesday and Thursday. Yuba College even directs students to where on campus they are allowed to exhibit free speech. In this case, it’s the school theater. Campus police threatened to arrest Ryan if he didn’t comply with the “free speech zone,” oblivious to the fact that students don’t need permission to exercise the First Amendment’s free speech and religious clauses.Does this same rukle apply to handing out copies of Mein Kampf or The Communist Manifesto ?
“Does this same rukle apply to handing out copies of Mein Kampf or The Communist Manifesto ?”
Why are we conservatives always on the rear guard? Why do we not do an experiment by handing out left-wing and Christian faith literature? Replicate this over several campuses and come up with a result. Surely the bias and hypocrisy are a measureable phenomena. We should read Coulter’s work. It’s a model of quantifying and proving the bias. We need more of it, and we need to prove it with scientific experimentation. The media will try to downplay, but there are ways around this, too. I’m a conservative activist, but for now I’m a party of one.
English professors always assign books to read that people wouldn’t read by themselves. I mean, does any really know how BORRRRRRRINNGGGGGG Moby Dick really is??? I won’t even mention any of the suppose “classics” they assign like “The Vagina Monologues.” It would be better and more entertaining if they assigned “Penthouse Forum”...which by the way I have never, ever read or looked at...
The West Point story doesn’t surprise me. The superintendent changed the ALMA MATER and THE CORPS, two of the institution’s sacred hymns, to be more gender neutral. I think it’s coming from the top, not from the cadets. Big diversity push is on 24/7.
