IT'S GETTING CROWDED IN HERE
And I was just getting to enjoy the peace and quiet of having all of Federal Review to myself, then, suddenly, whammo, here comes the left. Sheesh, John, we are awfully prolific tonight.

Good thing too. Blogging without challenge causes your skills to deteriorate and leads you to be less clear than you should. Sure, others respond to challenge from other blog sites, but seldom on their own site ... from so far on the other side of the spectrum, and that's what we like here at Federal Review. You can't ignore the challenge when it sits on the page above your own rant.

Anyway, John, you must agree that the UNC faculty's complete lack of understanding of the implicit bias of year after year choosing a book from the far socialist left demonstrates a severe out-of-touch-with-the-world issue. These people are teaching our children and have no idea what the world is like outside the confines of their nice little utopian college town where everyone is supported by the government and only the athletic department has to worry about making money -- and they try to prevent that.

Should there be quotas to add conservatives to the faculty? Well, John, you put that question to me as though I should rightfully be opposed since I oppose quotas and preferences based on race. But that's the difference. You can't, under the law, discriminate between people because of skin color, but there's no constitutional problem at all when you discriminate among people based on political ideology. That's why neo-nazi skinheads aren't usually working at the local CBS affiliate. So, the residents of the ivory tower only want to recognize skin-deep diversity and shut out any actual diversity of thought beyond the inherent diversity in a room divided between old fashioned Marxists and identity-theory socialists. I don't think it unreasonable to insist on a little actual intellectual diversity at the university that my tax dollars support. After all, a judge in Louisiana just ruled that the government cannot issue license plates with government approved messages, I think perhaps we shouldn't have our tax dollars paying for the propogagation of only one ideology in Chapel Hill -- or wherever. Duke can do whatever it wants (but the alumni should be pissed).
