Columbia University

Columbia University answered my question.

In my post on Ahmadinejad I asked if Columbia U. would invite Hitler to speak. This morning FOXNEWS reported that Columbia said it would indeed ask Hitler to speak on its campus.

This is the same university that forbids United States military recruiters on campus. It is the same university that forbids the ROTC on campus! All in the name of free speech of course.

The people who operate Columbia U. do not understand free speech. The free speech Columbia U. claims to cherish (despite evidence to the contrary) is made possible, not by professors, nor by administrators, nor by journalists, but by the military service branches that Columbia U. prohibits from its campus.

Ironic.

Columbia University is a metaphor for the state of modern liberalism. Modern liberalism is a far cry from the open and tolerant views of classical liberalism. There is little tolerance in modern liberalism. We have daily case studies of the intolerance of "educated" folks who run the elite universities and colleges across the country. Short-sighted, uninformed, under-educated, and politically correct people appear bent on the destruction of higher education in the United States.

Yet the parents of students at Columbia University (and many others) pay through the nose to "educate" their kids at these "great" institutions of higher learning.

Is it money well spent?
