"Instead of being a marketplace of ideas, some professors try to silence or even punish students whose beliefs do not conform to their personal worldview......"







Background info on the original complaint.

Noteworthy:

"When Kauffman reportedly 'engaged in leftist diatribes denigrating President Bush,' Brooker and several other students objected. She received an atypically bad grade which, after a year of effort, was successfully appealed."

  1. Bubba, From experience I can confirm that the universities are the most biased, intolerant, chauvinistic of institutions.
