Also, the author points out that those liberal profs seem to have the attitude that they have finally won the battle and since the students were listening to their conservative parents for 18 years it was now time for liberals to influence them for 4 years. I guess they don't count those first 10 or so years as kind of politically nothing for those kids.

Who would want to hear any nasty people speak?

There is a newsworthy parts of that article.

There are FACTS.

One FACT is that Wright was invited to speak there.

Another FACT is that "liberal speakers are routinely invited and that ultra-liberal speakers including Wright and Angela Davis are occasionally invited. No one seems to think it strange that avowed communists and those with significant criminal backgrounds are paid to speak on campus at considerable expense to the taxpayer. But politically conservative speakers are scarce and in the case of John McCain and Sarah Palin pay for the privilege of using campus facilities."

Definition of ARTICLE

1
a : a distinct section of a writing

d : a nonfictional composition usually forming an independent part of a publication (as a magazine)
You can post definitions from Merrima-Webster, online dictionaries, wherever, but that does not change the fact that an op-ed piece is OPINION, not fact.

Perhaps you should look up Op-Ed.

So one "liberal" colleague doesn't want Glenn Beck. Big whoop! My daughter's college made a point to have a diversity of campus speakers. They even had that biatch, Ann Coulter.

Now wait. Remember the big stink over the PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES talking to school kids about volunteerism just after he was elected? I think there are plenty of crack pots and nut jobs on both sides, but at least the liberal end of the spectrum didn't pull kindergarten kids out of school for the day because they were sure Obama speaking in a televised statement was going to be some kind of radical indoctrination attempt. Hysteria isn't a pretty thing.

Perlier - You are attempting to use reson to argue with religion. If you want to argue just use emotion like they do.
