There's no polite way or time to say it: American colleges
and universities have become coddle industries. Big Nanny
administrators oversee speech codes, segregated dorms,
politically correct academic departments and designated
"safe spaces" to protect students selectively from hurtful
(conservative) opinions -- while allowing mob rule for
approved leftist positions (textbook case: Columbia
University's anti-Minuteman Project protesters).

Instead of teaching students to defend their beliefs,
American educators shield them from vigorous intellectual
debate. Instead of encouraging autonomy, our higher
institutions of learning stoke passivity and
conflict-avoidance.

And as the erosion of intellectual self-defense goes, so
goes the erosion of physical self-defense.

The Second Amendment IS Homeland Security !
