Hello, Phil--

"Do you mean to tell me that, if one works for a state-funded institution, one is not allowed to express opinions contrary to those currently advocated by the government? Were these remarks made as part of the required courses (if any) that the freshmen take? Were students tested on these points of view, and do they fail their courses if they do not agree? Are people in their late teens so very vulnerable that they are incapable of taking the lessons they have learned for the first 18-20 years of their lives and make judgments about the statements of professors?"

*** Where did I ever say or even imply that contrary opinions could not be expressed?
I was confirming a contention in a thread that American Universities were predominanently extreme leftist. Period.
I have NEVER once posted the opinion that any opinions should be supressed. Perhaps your steryotipical views of anyone not blathering liberal tripe is a Neanderthal has influenced your reply.

Hint: I was taught by nuns in college. I am not a Catholic.

"I work with teens daily. You see a bunch of stupid (and in the case of the woman speaking about profiling of Arabs, maybe some reality-based) remarks from people in positions of authority. I see your remarks as an insult to a whole group of people, the alleged targets, merely on account of their age."

*** What remarks insulting people because of their age? You need to drop the hair shirt.

"Teens and young adults know shit from shinola. They will form their opinions based on behavior, properly modelled. If they grew up watching people being racially profiled in their communities, they will believe the woman whose remarks you cited. Act as you would have them believe, and they will, for they will believe the truth before their eyes.

I also find it ironic that you would post these remarks, and bring attention to them yet again. I don't go looking for this stuff, and would never have heard of it had you not further publicized it. Thank you!"

*** Yet again? I am unaware that these remarks were posted previously. If so, my apologies for beating a dead horse.
