Hip to be Square

College Republicans are coming out of the closet at CU-Boulder:

“We have some of the best professors in the world here at CU, but some of them are here to indoctrinate us,” said Brad Jones, College Republicans chairman. “What we’re talking about is diversity of thought, and a lot of professors don’t believe in [that].”

The event kicked off the club’s “Conservative Coming Out Month,” which will feature conservative speakers and intends to fuel a statewide conservative assault on liberal bias in academia.

Colorado became ground zero for a nationwide debate last summer when conservative writer David Horowitz met with Republican Gov. Bill Owens and other top Republican leaders to promote his Academic Bill of Rights, an eight-point manifesto that seeks to eliminate political bias in university hiring and grading.
