In a follow-up to this article in the LA Times, Pipes got thoroughly blasted in one of the most biased forums of them all, letters to the editor that actually find their way into print. For once, diversity was not liberalism's clarion call to battle. This time the magic word was "dissent," which brings to mind one question: When campus 'dissent' becomes monolithic, lock-step leftist orthodoxy, shouldn't it forfeit the right to define itself as dissent?
Pipes is absolutely right. I returned to UCLA on the day Laura Bush was disinvited to be the commencement speaker for the School of Education. It was like entering enemy territory.

I am considering writing a column in the campus newspaper on Republican views being snuffed out at colleges. Could you give me some info on Bush being disinvited? Thanks.
