It was once understood that the university was a place where one was encouraged to explore not only new ideas but to engage in healthy debate concerning one's views on a variety of issues, politics included.
But as we have seen so often in modern times, higher education has become a vehicle by which to indoctrinate young minds. Independent thinking is discouraged if it runs afoul of the accepted dogma.
However, a serious new effort has been launched to examine just what is taking place on college campuses across America and to explore methods of addressing the tendency of academia to bury independent thought.
This study (and film) should raise some eyebrows.

Hypocrisy of the Leftwing Speech Police
Charlotte, NC (TLS). The Leftwing hack called 'the Daily Kos' has been mounting a campaign to get advertisers to pull their ads off of Ann Coulter's website for using the term 'faggot' in a recent speech. The Liberty Sphere and a few other brave souls came to Coulter's defense in the face of a wall of criticism, even among some conservatives.
As it turns out, the Daily Kos has used the term 'faggot' more than once in reference to various and sundry human beings whom the Koz obviously thinks are beneath contempt.
In fact, there is widespread hypocrisy on the matter of so-called 'hate speech' on the part of the Leftwing, which consistently takes on the role of the speech police when it comes to conservatives, although they rarely live up to their own standards.
Here all about it in this CNS News Service commentary on the subject:

Ann Coulter Fires Back
Washington, DC (TLS). Under fire for supposedly using the term 'faggot' to refer to Democrat Presidential hopeful John Edwards, Ann Coulter has fired back at her critics. Stating that if the top Presidential contenders in either Party feel they must apologize for every remark she makes, then 'they better keep that statement handy cause there's going to be a lot more in the next year.'
The 'speech and thought' police in America and in Western Europe is actually a totalitarian coalition. If they can silence free speech, and even invade our thought processes, scouring for every single vestige of 'forbidden feelings and points of view,' then they will have succeeded in creating a totalitarian society where human liberty is a thing of the past, without going to war or firing a single shot.
Ann Coulter has the right IN THE UNITED STATED OF AMERICA to say whatever she wants, no matter what the speech and thought police of the Left in the mainstream media and the elected officials of the government think about it. The U.S. Constitution trumps all other law, PERIOD. Thus, laws that are passed that limit speech, religion, assembly, the Press, and gun rights are ILLEGITIMATE. Jefferson referred to such legislative initiatives as tyrannical and lacking in any authority.
Thus, as a lifelong JEFFERSONIAN LIBERAL, not to be confused with modern Liberals, I say to Ann Coulter's critics, 'Go find the nearest lake, and jump in.' Your idiocy is thoroughly annoying.
