You can't have, for instance, faculty members who grade on the basis of political viewpoint And if you do, what recourse do the students have?

students who disrupt classes because of a political viewpoint. I want them to have free speech on campus. They are held to PC speech on many campus's now. But, as I said, this is changing. I posted an article recently on South Park conservatives. Those right-of-center college students, for the most part, aren't Alex P. Keaton-clones, decked out in Ralph Lauren double-breasted navy blue blazers. They're more likely to look like every other college kid: jeans, sneakers, and T-shirts advertising their favorite rock groups. (On the other hand, as Anderson notes in his book, campus SOUTH PARK conservatives usually smell better than their bathing-optional counterparts on the left). But there's one thing that SOUTH PARK campus conservatives abhor: "Political correctness drives them nuts", Anderson says. "In interviewing students, for instance, it was clear how much the PC conformities of the campus Left turned them off." Message 21231031
