Campus cliche "Columbia University is still dealing with the controversy surrounding a protest that happened last fall, when College Republicans invited representatives of the Minutemen to speak on illegal immigration. Instead of engaging in discussion, a mob of students physically drove away an anti-open-borders speaker. In other words, the cliche holds true: Students who deviate from the politically correct norm don't fare well in many New York area colleges. ... "The Columbia case is just the latest example of this secular fundamentalism and intolerance. There is still hostility to true free speech. To put it bluntly, the highly touted diversity of these colleges is superficial. Some students wear dreadlocks, some have red hair and some are Chinese, but students are 'encouraged' to think identically. The only surprising aspect of all this is that there are some students who do not know it yet." — Nancy French, writing on "New York Silences Southern Belle," Wednesday in the New York Sun
