Free speech on the modern American Campus is not so free as one would think. Moreover, it usually only applies to “Liberal” free speech. That said, the recent flap over former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice speaking at Rutgers University, is even more troubling than the usual revisionist and statist pablum shoveled onto our nations young people daily at these institutions of “higher learning”. I’m just trying to figure out exactly what they hate so much about this highly accomplished African American women, who defied every stereotypical label thrust upon her by the pandering Left. Oh, that’s right, she’s not a “Liberal” African American woman.
I have a message for the “nutty professors” and misguided students of Rutgers who started the petition to rescind the invitation for Rice to speak. Your opinions on the policies of the Bush Administration are noted, and typical to say the least. But take a good look around that bubble you live in, and thank your lucky stars for clear thinking patriots like Condi Rice. Remember also, that you don’t get to pick and choose your history, (and facts for that matter), then propagandize to our children who seem so easily manipulated these days.
Sadly, it’s hateful and disingenuous fools like yourselves, who must ultimately be rescued from the grasp of the tyrants you so willingly embrace.
