I just came by this. This is very true, and relieving. It slightly offends me that my politics are considered a form of rebellion, but that's what the hippie generation wants to think. I think a factor in the change of politics is that youth is surprisingly smart enough to see the mess their predecessors have created in the country and recognize that it's their job to clean it up. I hope our work doesn't get rolled back by another generation in a couple decades.

The lesson she learned, Carre said, was "to keep my mouth shut unless I know what the professor likes."... They oppose speech codes, set-aside student government seats for racial minorities, and lesbian-gay-bisexual-transgender groups, and what they see as political correctness. It sounds like opposing speech codes isn't working too well there at the seat and soul of abrogating the freedom of speech. How often do the good professors use colorful terms like white trash, red-neck, double-wides, big hair, etc? Let's include "third world" a signifier suggesting colonialism and empire--in fact, I will hazard to suggest that that last term is gradually being phased out in favor of "developing countries" so as not to offend the sensibilities of those who may oppose a global economy.

Amazing that after years of leftist agenda schooling there are ANY kids like this at all.
Kudos to them.
