This article should make people on both sides of the political spectrum very angry.

The Weekend Interview with Greg Lukianoff: How Free Speech Died on Campus - WSJ.com

Quote:
Consider the University of Delaware, which in fall 2007 instituted an ideological orientation for freshmen. The "treatment," as the administrators called it, included personal interviews that probed students' private lives with such questions as: "When did you discover your sexual identity?" Students were taught in group sessions that the term racist "applies to all white people" while "people of color cannot be racists." Once FIRE spotlighted it, the university dismantled the program.

Sounds like one guys opinion which is what it is. Why do people expect everyone to leap because one person has an opinion about an unsubstantiated claim....Anyway, let me go see how my militant atheism goes over at Liberty.

But what about each of the incidents he describes? If he is not making them up, they seem pretty disturbing.

Liberals only support the 1st Amendment when they are in the minority.

Except that Liberty is a private, religious school. Univ of Delaware is a state school. Apples & Oranges.

If lefties don't want to talk about a thing, say they find it embarrassing or incriminating to their side, why they simply define it out of existence, just like the Russians used to airbrush out photos of guys who had fallen out of favor.
