vicdoomi,
Enjoy:
Three Ohio State University professors have filed sexual harrassment charges against Scott Savage in response to the reference librarian's book suggestions for a freshman reading list. The university is investigating. Savage, a committee member of OSU's "First Year Reading Experience" program, suggested David Horowitz's The Professors, Bat Ye'or's Eurabia, David Kupelian's The Marketing of Evil, and Rick Santorum's It Takes a Family, after members of the committee recommended a series of liberal books. The complaining professors report feeling "unsafe" as a result of Savage's book suggestions.

FlynnFiles readers may remember last year at this time the story of a Western Michigan University women's studies professor who used class time to encourage her students to tear down fliers promoting a Pat Buchanan speech. This week, a feminist professor at Northern Kentucky University encouraged her students to destroy a campus pro-life display, which they promptly did. "I did, outside of class during the break, invite students to express their freedom-of-speech rights to destroy the display if they wished to," Sally Jacobsen admitted. "Any violence perpetrated against that silly display was minor compared to how I felt when I saw it. Some of my students felt the same way, just outraged."
UPDATE: Sally Jacobsen, the professor in the middle of NKU's "Cemetery of Innocents" vandalism case, didn't just encourage students to destroy the display, she helped destroy the display herself. The proof is in the picture (link to picture - Don't worry, you'll get the links at the end).

My Tuesday lecture at Portland State took place, amidst a lot of shouting, in something called the "Multicultural Center." In case anyone forgets what room they are in, the Multicultural Center is adorned with dozens of national flags, including the Iranian flag, and they all stand equal. Well, okay, there are a few flags hung a little higher than the Stars and Stripes, but it is the Multicultural Center, after all, and I'm sure--really I am--that it's just an oversight. In case anyone forgets what multiculturalism is, the Multicultural Center features giant cult-of-personality posters of Black Panthers Kathleen Cleaver and Bobby Seale. A wall-length mural dominates the front of the room and features the likenesses of cop-killers Mumia Abu-Jamal and Leonard Peltier, amidst a number of leftist slogans. If multiculturalism is about embracing other cultures, Portland State's Multicultural Center is a non sequitur. Judging from the figures lionized by the center, one might deduce that multiculturalism is about Americans, violence, or radicalism. Apart from the flag cliche, one would never guess it had anything to do with foreign cultures. And it doesn't.

Ok, the above were quoted at http://www.flynnfiles.com/
The author of "Why the Left Hates America". Funny, but those are the State schools. Go figure.
Here's another one:
News that several groups had plans to show up, on threatening a protest, found Flynn unphased. For this 210lb, 6' speaker, any disgruntled audience at CC would be another to add to an impressive list; as he later shared with the audience, Flynn has been bitten, mooned, heckled, and his books have been the main element in a "Nazi-styled book burning at Berkeley...Berkeley is like Rome for the Left."
----------------------
To enhance his point, Flynn brought along visual and audio media. Three items were of particular note. Flynn held up the cover of a University of Wisconsin magazine, in which a student of color had been cut and paste in with a group of Caucasian students, highlighting academia's desperate longing to appear multi-cultural. For Flynn, this incident illustrates the "fraud diversity" rampant on college campuses "Real diversity is diversity of ideas and diversity of viewpoints." While speaking of academia, Flynn expressed that "the kind of diversity you get at a place like CC, or any other liberal arts college in the country, seeks to have a faculty that looks like the UN, but with a mindset of a San Francisco coffee house," and also called attention to the fact that many politically conservative faculty are outnumbered by liberal faculty by more than 10 to one on most college campuses. (YOu see that? 10-1)

This one is short but interesting. It has nothing to do with the topic though. But, this link and I think the first one touch on Kinsey. A while back doomi used Kinsey as a credible source and I told him Kinsey has been refuted and proved wrong. He touches on it on the two links mentioned: http://www.dailytargum.com/media/storage/paper168/news/2004/12/10/PageOne/Conservative.Author.Daniel.Flynn.Visits.U-827220.shtml?norewrite200604171929&sourcedomain=www.dailytargum.com
So vic, is that enough for you? Do you still believe State schools are fair? If you do, you are blind.
