Must Be More Of Those Damn Whiny Conservatives
By Mitch Berg
U of Delaware forces students into a coercive PC indoctrination program:
The University of Delaware subjects students in its residence halls to a shocking program of ideological reeducation that is referred to in the university’s own materials as a “treatment” for students’ incorrect attitudes and beliefs. The Orwellian program requires the approximately 7,000 students in Delaware’s residence halls to adopt highly specific university-approved views on issues ranging from politics to race, sexuality, sociology, moral philosophy, and environmentalism.
Let’s assume for the moment that those university-approved views were that “racism is a dead issue, gays should be accepted but there are issues with gay marriage, that all moral and political systems are not created equal and that America has ample reason to be proud, and we should await actual empirical proof that human activity has anything to do with global warming before we hand the keys of our economic engine over to the boobs at the UN” – do you suppose these people, pollyannaish as they are about conservative kids being indoctrinated, would take it sitting down?
Oh, relax. Those, naturally, aren’t the views at hand.
The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) is calling for the total dismantling of the program, which is a flagrant violation of students’ rights to freedom of conscience and freedom from compelled speech.
Keep your fingers crossed.
Greg Lukianoff of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education talked about the whole sordid episde on the Ben Gleck show. It’d be funny if it weren’t everywhere.
Oh, they abandoned it. Musta been all that unsubstantiable whining.
