The professor worries that students are now more likely to suspect "that they are being indoctrinated" -- which sounds an awful lot like the development of intellectual skepticism. And how not to be skeptical when confronted by a social psychology professor who asks her class to discuss what Colapinto describes as "the theory" (no doubt the professor's own) that media coverage of the Iraq war might lead to an increase in homicides in the U.S.? "'I could see the students rolling their eyes,'" she laments. "I could just hear them thinking, 'Oh, there she goes again!'" In this case, intellectual skepticism is barely required; a functioning lunatic detector will do.

LOL! How obvious when stated!
. . . and the lunatic can bare her inner self to the intrepid Times reporter without fear of an 'Oh, there she goes again!' from him!

The Times is so rife with arrogant political correctness it makes me gasp.

Whatever you do, please do not fail to miss the connection between liberals' PC atrocity, hate crimes laws and the implications for restraining free speech. It's crystal clear that hate crime laws and PC cause social chaos and invite massive crimes against the culture, and protect liars as in the Times-Blair fiasco.

PC and hate crime laws have outlived their usefulness and must be abolished. They are this era's moral equivalent of Prohibition. Prohibition was necessarily repealed b/c it caused social chaos and a crime wave. Via Blair, we are now seeing the devastation wrought upon America due to hate crimes laws and PC.

The fact is astute conservatives have always seen right through these self-serving liberal phonies and their arrogant use of PC and hate crimes laws to stifle criticism.

The problem, like so many other of society's self-described "tolerant and compassionate types," is that their ego-driven "sense of entitlement" is so outsized and demanding that they cannot stand to have a discouraging word spoken about themselves.....thus they engage in the political correctness atrocity which abhors criticism.

Liberals revive the spectre of a despised monarchy (that a Revolutionary War displaced), by setting themselves apart from the commoners, and demanding to be coddled and cosseted at every moment.

Marie Antoinette's infamous, "Let 'em eat cake," is the moral equivalent of contemporary liberals' sense of entitlement which thay extort by political correctness and enforcing hate crimes laws. Liberals have indeed become a worthless class of whiners.

These self-absorbed liberal humanoids, like the conniving Clintons, with their exaggerated sense of entitlement, demand the common folk kneel in obeisance and comply whenever they indicate their wishes. Never forget that when commoners dared speak up about the Clintons crimes, Marie-Antoinette-Hitlery demonized them, and publicly labeled them a VRWC.
