And A Good Monday To Ya

What is up with our university system? Have the administrators gone PC nuts or what? I am pretty sure most of my readers recieve "Townhall" in their email boxes everyday and get to read Dr. Adams, Ben Shapiro, and tonight's article by Suzanne Fields . the story they tell is disturbing. The universities in very many well documented cases seek to stifle free speech if it is of a conservative voice and response to our demands to be heard, ie. Young Republicans, Campus Conservatives, the administrations at some are banning all thoughtfull dialogue in the fear part of it will offend somebody. I like Dr. Adams' approach, he files formal charges with his boss university system, UNC, when he is offended by emails or other that attack his conservative, gun owning ways. He gets called a gun toting homophobe he simply files a complaint then writes a column on it, as being insulted in a negative way with a negative stereotype. I have to wonder if our universities are left up to legislating manners in our increasingly crude teens! Manners should be tought from an early age at home not at the university level in the form of speech codes, anti-diversity of thought , and introduced to student porn and The Feminist Monologues instead? This is why I have chosen to go childless as I would not my want kid growing up in this social mess.

I feel your pain. It's outrageous.

Good one here, Goat. I think that it's sickening that so many liberal universities are becoming more and more mainstream. UNC is right down the road from me, and it is definitely a liberal college. There are so many liberal colleges in the area, and the sad thing is that many of the traditionally more conservative ones are following close behind.

I was a Resident Adivsor for two years, and the housing dept. on these campuses brainwash students with 'liberality.' I have no problem w/ liberality when it is logical. But, these liberals contradict themselves on many issues (i.e. freedom of speech except for conservatives, or freedom of religion except for Christian; I'm sure there are more), and it's ok because they are not conservative. Gotta love it.

One of the radio talkers I listen to had Ben Shapiro on not long ago, probably Medved. He is an amazing young man, we need many more like him and they are out there. I understand military recruiting has exceeded its needs easily in the hazardous duty details. Coast and National Guard are a little slow. They all inlist saying they want to go fight in Iraq. I got that info via Laura Ingraham talking to a Marine recruiter. My thanks to them!

Goat, how do you feel about our Senate wasting 2 whole days arguing about whether or not 1 hour per day of Rush Limbaugh should or should not be on Armed Forces Radio, even though the only reason he is on in the first place is that the Soldiers themselves requested him by write-in election?
