Higher Education Bias

Some people continue to point out the obvious, that state-run institutions of "higher education" are crammed full of super-ultra-liberals who support communism, socialism, and various other philosophies that abhor freedom, capitalism, and Christianity.

And if you point out those facts, YOU are the one bringing politics into the classroom, according to Judith Wegner, not surprisingly, the chairwoman of the faculty at UNC with a clear vested interest in keeping herself and her friends in place, no matter how much they might hate freedom and America.

She is defending people like UNC English lecturer Elyse Crystall who emailed all her students in her classes to attack one of her students who didn't think gays should be celebrated and have special rights -- no free speech for you in Elyse Crystall's classes.

She defends people like Steven E. Jones from BYU, loony extraordinaire, who thinks that there were no Muslims or terrorists involved in the 9-11 attack on America.

Other, more sane people, want there to be some balance. They don't want people hired to higher education positions based on their politics -- but people like Judith Wegner do not like the idea that people can be free, so she supports continuing the policy of specifically hiring only those who have the correct political beliefs.

A bill was introduced in the NC Legislature last year to give students the actual right to disagree with professors -- and the Democrats promptly crushed it to ensure that no freedom of speech, nor even thought, would be allowed in the schools of North Carolina.

Explain to me again why government needs to be involved in education at all? The entire state university funding system should be completely shut down. Let private industry handle education -- they can do everything else better than government -- and then this would not be an issue, nor a HUGE financial expenditure.
