Freedom Equals A Hostile Environment on College Campuses

The left is pouring big bucks opposing the academic bill of rights that would protect anyone of any ideology from being punished or discriminated against on college campuses.

Despite the document's political neutrality, critics fear that if it becomes state law, it will be used as a hammer to promote conservative thought and squelch liberal dissent.
"I think what they're doing is curtailing academic freedom," said Adam Jentleson, policy and advocacy manager of Campus Progress. "I don't think they're really making that much progress because every state that's considered it has either voted it down or referred it to committee."
In 2003, the American Association of University Professors condemned the Academic Bill of Rights as "a grave threat to academic freedom."


It's interesting isn't it that the left does not believe that it can survive in an environment of freedom.
