Can anyone tell me what dangerous subversive made the following quote?
"As Americans we must always remember that we all have a common enemy, an enemy that is powerful, dangerous and relentless, I refer of course to the federal government."
The University of Marquette made a student take the quote off of her dorm room door, stating that it was "patently offensive". A political quote is offensive and thus should be censored ?!? What have our Universities and other centers of higher learning become? Obviously they are no longer the bastions of debate and free thought that they traditionally were thought to be.
If you are interested in what is going on in Academia these days, you might want to check out FIRE , the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education.
Some of abuses that FIRE has gotten involved in, helping students and faculty fight against in their schools will really shock you, assuming you are not already a brain dead adherent of PC or a Democrat (I know, I repeat myself)
Seems a lot of Higher Education Schools have forgotten that they are supposed to be in the business of teaching their students HOW to think; rather they are engaged in trying to force their students WHAT to think.
The quote is by humorist Dave Barry btw. Guess it's really true that Humor is a high form of radicalism!
