A reasonable person could conclude that there is a lack of balance.

Um, nob, you're citing advocacy groups as proof:


Um, no I'm pointing to evidence. You can take it or leave it.

"Georgetown Conservatives Press for Stronger Campus Presence"

"Those behind the trend call it an antidote to the overwhelming liberal
dominance of university faculties. But many educators, while agreeing
students should never feel bullied, worry that they just want to avoid
exposure to ideas that challenge their core beliefs - an essential
part of education."

"At the University of North Carolina, three incoming freshmen sue over
a reading assignment they say offends their Christian beliefs."

"In Colorado and Indiana, a national conservative group publicizes
student allegations of left-wing bias by professors. Faculty get hate
mail and are pictured in mock "wanted" posters; at least one
college says a teacher received a death threat."

Death threats and wanted posters? LOL! Yup, the problem is intolerance
with the professors.

A reasonable conclusion could be that this is a made-up issue for
spreading the conservative gospel. Conservatives tend to attack the
validity of education. This is because, as we all know by now, educated
people tend to be liberal.

They might, or they could have the same standard for this as they do for
their own complaints and consider looking at the possibility that it might
be true, and worthy of futher investigation.


A reasonable person would know that you are not smart enough to see
that as a possibility.

That would not be a reasonable person, since I have made no such claim, I
have only stated that such reports existed and shown that there is indeed
evidence. I think it deserves more investigation, particularly since when
I entered "conservative students vs. liberal professors," in the dialog box
for my search it came back with at least 10 pages of articles.

As you say it may be nothing but some people bitching over nothing, or it
may be that where there is smoke there is fire.

Your open minded viewpoint is duly noted.
