It criticizes reactionary behavior by my alma mater Dartmouth College that is emblematic of a cancer spread across the American academy. Pretending to be &#8220;progressive,&#8221; these institutions are turning into the most rigid insular communities threatening freedom of expression and even thought. The folks at Powerline (also Dartmouth alums) have previously published this editorial but I am doing so here because of the open comments. Please have your say.]]>Fri, 01 Sep 2006 21:58:07 -0400<![CDATA[Roger L. Simon]]>https://pjmedia.com/roger-l-simon/2006/09/01/dissidents-at-dartmouth-n212943
