At the core of our intellectual culture, the university, a very peculiar form of myopic intolerance has taken firm root. This intolerance is aggressively, reflexively, unthinkingly “tolerant” of a dizzying range of “progressive” issues, but becomes even more aggressively intolerant when it identifies a brave (or naive) person on the “wrong” side of those issues.
Ed Morrissey at Captain’s Quarters talks to a Hamline University student who was suspended[*1] for merely suggesting, in the aftermath of the Virginia Tech incident, that the university take another look at the universitty’s gun-free zone policy.
This is not tolerance. This is tyranny.
I haven’t yet seen the movie Indoctrinate U.[*2] but I intend to. From initial reviews, all those who truly, REALLY believe in tolerance should probably do so as well.
