WHAT WOULD THE LEFT DO IF THE UNIVERSITIES WERE DOMINATED BY THE RIGHT? | 2005-08-24
Surveys show that professors vote nine to one liberal. And I am willing to bet that many of those who tell the pollster -- or their students -- they have EVER voted for a non-liberal candidate are just trying to sound "fair."
There are about a hundred respectable conservative books dedicated to reciting facts, figures and quotes with the theme, "Good gracious, Mommy, colleges are left-wing!"
What if the shoe were on the other foot? What if universities were thinly-disguised CONSERVATIVE seminaries for teaching a rightist faith rather than a leftist faith?
Do you think LIBERALS would be writing books saying, "Oh, goodness gracius, all these sincere liberal professors have a bias!"
No way.
They would be saying that the universities were using tax money to push a rightist agenda and this must stop.
NOW.
They would be on the campuses and in the streets.
The left plays hard ball. The right plays kisseepoo.
