[extropy-chat] Why I am No Longer a Libertarian Either...

[Mike Lorrey]

12% of college faculty are registered Republican, 18% independent, and
the rest Democrat. I would say that some intellectuals can be trusted
and others cannot,  as they are dyed in the wool leftists involved in
the decades-long effort by the Carnegie and Rockefeller foundations to
dominate and radicalize American universities. You have to judge each
faculty member on their merits.

The only places you find republicans on faculties these days is in
engineering departments. FIRE's website covers this issue quite well
(and for a group founded by liberals, they are very fair and objective,
primarily as they stick to one issue, free speech, religiously... they
don't let their personal political opinions color how they judge
university treatment of political or other speech depending on who is
being gored.).

Mike Lorrey
Vice-Chair, 2nd District, Libertarian Party of NH
"Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom.
It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves."
