Harvard flap prompts query: How free is campus speech? | csmonitor.com

Kudos to the CSM writers for this piece!

Ya gotta love this! Here we have the flower children and a more recent generation of professors establishing a system of political correctness that quenches the freedom of expression that should be the bedrock of a university education.

Students rebel. Professors rebel, feminists rebel, conservatives rebel, the ACLU rebels, people of faith and color rebel. It boils down to this:

People are unwilling to admit that we are unequal in abilities or that some belief systems may be terribly biased or untenable. Discussing these subjects is taboo, to the great discredit of academia.

We need to question why this foolishness of political correctness is allowed to breed on campuses and in other places. This is not healthy.

Three cheers for Larry Summers!
