They are already working for the other side. Have you not been paying attention? Does the name "Lois Lerner" not ring a bell for you?
What you are advocating is the status quo, where conservative thought is "thought policed" off of campus right now, out of a fear that even more conservative thought is somehow going to get even more "thought policed" off of campus in the future.
There is very little left that the thought police can attack because they have already driven most of it out. The only targets left are Liberal targets.
That you should worry about some future date, after which the liberals will turn the thought police on us, would require us to have been so successful in getting conservative thoughts on the campus in the first place in order for them to have something to target.
In the future, the worst they could do to us is to return us to the current conditions.
You guys will never learn. You always think you can sway the power of big government to work for you if only you get your hands on the levers of power. It never ends well. The solution is to get rid of big government root and branch. There is no need for the Dept of Education in the first place. Get rid of it, period. Education will do just fine without it. You do not think it could be worse. Think again, it can.
