Apparently Universities are too liberal. The conservative organization The Leadership Institute (LI) has launched a new site called Campus Reform. Morton Blackwell, the founder of LI, explains below the fold:
" I have had a long-term awareness of how the campuses have become left-wing indoctrination centers, and many, many students can go their entire college educations and never see any representations of conservative principles on their campuses — but they see innumerable amounts of propaganda both in campus curriculum and with speakers and in campus newspapers. It has always bugged me that conservatives have not done likewise."
Ah, yes. Because our colleges abound with left wing "facts" and bogus Communist "science" instead of teaching about tax cuts for the wealthy and slashing federal social programs.
In other words, CampusReform’s young conservatives want to " smash left-wing scum," as Tony Listi, a graduate of Texas A&M, wrote on the site. There is a CampusReform subsite for each of the 2,376 four-year colleges in the US which contains a blog, event listings, membership roster, and "access to a variety of powerful weapons to identify, expose, and combat leftist abuses on campus." Those weapons consist of a system which allows students to review "biased" textbooks, rate faculty and "hold professors accountable," report "leftist abuses," and take a survey to record "specific injustices." Currently, LI is offering a $100 prize each day in October for reporting "leftist abuse."
Got that? 100 dollars a day for "leftist" abuse. Like teaching science without mentioning God, I suppose. Or for mentioning that Martin Luther King, Medgar Evers, and Bobby Kennedy were social heroes. Or perhaps how the party that voted for Medicare, Medicaid, Civil Rights, Social Security, etc, was the LIBERAL PROGRESSIVE PARTY that they seem to hate so much.
TRUTH IS A KNOWN LEFT WINGER.
