“So we fought against this curse [of thinking]. We tried to forget our lessons, but we always remembered…. We looked upon Union 5-3992, who were a pale boy with only half a brain, and we tried to say and do as they did, that we might be like them, like Union 5-3992, but somehow the Teachers knew that we were not. And we were lashed more often than all the other children.” – Prometheus of Ayn Rand’s “The Anthem”

Recently, Hamline University decided to place a conservative student on probation because he thought improper things. His name was Troy Scheffler.

Following the massacre at Virginia Tech, the conclusions to anyone who noticed that the campus was a gun-free zone were obvious. Guns discourage crime; taking away the only realistic means of defense encourages crime.

Hamline University is committed to protecting the privacy of our students and to ensuring a safe and secure environment for the entire Hamline community,” the story goes.

When you hurt the feelings of liberal students, of course, they never feel safe. So to keep myself from violating the concept of a “secure environment” by committing the forbidden act of debating the issues of the day, I’m going to constrain myself to quoting some of those who commented on the article:

“I say he should sue this crackerjack university to the highest extent of the law, and should receive his degree with high honors, in absentia.”
“Universities are out of control, and ….
