I don't have a narrow worldview and I'm not a conservative. I'm an independent who voted for Hillary in the last election.

You talk about holding back science? how about the left's attempt to politicize the debate and the endless fearmongering with regards to climate change. Yes, the right is guilty of supressing and denying science as well but the left had treated this like DOGMA for decades now, hardly science.

Get your head out of the sand.
So it's BS to you. I expected nothing less. My head is not the one in the sand, my friend.

I think you have it reversed! The predominantly liberal colleges and universities refuse to even entertain an opposing viewpoint. What are THEY afraid of?

You think that colleges and universities are overwhelmingly liberal because someone how liberal ideology just rose to the top. I say that is BS, yes. Weapons grade BS.

I'd rather have a left-leaning neurosurgeon in the family, than a right-leaning Walmart Greeter!

Don't know about you, but I've never met anyone who was forced to attend college.

What Is Extortion?
Most states define extortion as the gaining of property or money by almost any kind of force, or threat of 1) violence, 2) property damage, 3) harm to reputation, or 4) unfavorable government action. While usually viewed as a form of theft/larceny, extortion differs from robbery in that the threat in question does not pose an imminent physical danger to the victim.
