More Adventures In Fake Bias

Hearing into bias falls short of billing

Yesterday’s hearing on academic freedom at Pennsylvania’s public universities was hyped by conservative activists as a “historic moment,” in which school administrators would finally be “called to account” in front of state legislators for allowing student “indoctrination and abuse” by leftist professors.

But the hearing at Temple University did not live up to that billing.

A professor scheduled to testify about alleged rampant liberal bias at Temple canceled. The sole student to appear before the legislative committee acknowledged he had never filed a formal grievance.

And Temple president David Adamany testified that in fact no student had made an official classroom bias complaint in at least five years, despite well-developed policies and procedures for doing so.

    This little tidbit seems worth looking into:

    “…. disgraced Abramoff from continuing to work with Norquist and Rove to smear Dorgan and other Democratic senators, including Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada. In fact, Abramoff may be violating his plea agreement by continuing to work behind the scenes with GOP operatives like Norquist and Rove to distort the record on Abramoff’s lobbying and illegal funding activities for Republican congressional office holders.”

    Those leftist professors who have been brainwashing our students must
    have used mass hypnosis to prevent droves of young minds from
    speaking up.

    Then again, Texas is a radical state. Maybe it is now part of the
    ‘left coast’.
