Thank you, David, for saying that. Like you, I went through college without zipping my lips shut (I even edited the campus conservative paper), and somehow I survived. I made liberal friends, met the liberal I’m marrying, and got decent grades from liberal professors.

College cons, if you want to say that professors present a skewed worldview to students–or even that conservative ideas often get mocked–fine, but knock it off with the whole I-can’t-even-speak-in-this-police-state persecution complex. You sound like . . . liberals.
