Third

Supposed liberal bias in academia is a hot topic right now, and Colorado has been at the epicenter of David Horowitz's nationwide campaign to promote the idea and curtail speech on campus. Talk-show hosts have exhorted students to expose their professors; right-wingers attack educators at every level, from the elementary school teacher in Bennett suspended for showing students twelve minutes of an educational sock puppet video on Gounod's Faust, to Jay Bennish, suspended for "Bush bashing" in an Overland High geography class, to the brouhaha whipped up by the Bill O'Reilly gang over a panel about sex and drugs at Boulder High. In a different environment, I might have been mildly disappointed by Third. In this one, I felt betrayed and afraid.
