Free speech on campus

[Miss Modular]

This editorial does raise some good points.

About a year ago, a fellow conservative alumni of my school decided to post at the board at my radio station to see if he could solicit students to talk about their experiences with professors who supposedly were "preaching, not teaching". I went over to his blog and left a message, saying that when I was a student, I only had a few experiences with teachers openly expressing their political views.

Rather than actually answer my question, he promptly banned me and edited my comments, saying that I was a student at Cornell, "The Berkeley of the East", never mind that Ann Coulter and Paul Wolfowitz went there. (At the time I was living in Ithaca, and I believe he got the impression that I was a Cornell student based on my posting for Fanclub shows at the board)

As someone who dabbled in activism during my college years, I found that the students at my school were more apathetic than anything else, and didn't particularly care either way.
