campus officials felt “uncomfortable” and “disturbed” by previous conservative speakers

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.

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?

Universal health care is actually a non partisan issue. Administrators at the College of St. Catherine in St. Paul, Minnesota—the nation’s largest Catholic women’s college—unexpectedly blocked young conservatives on campus from hosting Bay Buchanan, a popular conservative commentator and U.S. Treasurer under President Reagan.

Maybe the only good news: at least the campus has a few conservatives.

11. Get your "Doctorate in Social Justice" at UMass!

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.

4 times on the list in 10 years. Go Columbia!

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 ?

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.

just a another sign of how effed up and weak the predominant race-religion-ethnicity bunch here has become

Columbia Ping

4. 2008’s stolen election? Columbia University recently polled students on whether or not they would support the return of the Navy’s Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) to campus after a 40-year absence. Columbia claimed the referendum lost by 39 votes. However, the University inexplicably closed the online poll at different times for different students and discarded more than 1,900 votes out of the 4,905 cast. To boot, the university showcased its “anti-fraud” measures, revealing they caught one person who purportedly voted 276 times! So much for secure, front-end identification control. In the end, 1,502 “valid” NAYs trumped the 1,463 AYEs. Does anyone else smell some anti-military electioneering rats?
