Some years ago a well-known liberal attorney, Alan Dershowicz, was so disturbed by the lack of respect for free speech on college campuses, he's on record as saying: "Political correctness is the most serious issue on college campuses. We are tolerating, and teaching, intolerance and hypocrisy" (James Warren, "Drawing Laughs," Chicago Tribune, April 14, 1991, section 5, p. 2). The situation is even worse now than when Dershowicz noted that.

Colleges are now allowing intolerant hate groups to organize on their campuses, and are even helping to fund those hate groups via fees all students must pay. Needless to say, this is a serious problem that requires remediation.

You may be asking yourself: What hate groups? You should be aware that on college campuses all across this country there are student groups that believe in censorship of "politically incorrect" ideas, that believe in inhibiting dialogue by shouting others down and by refusing to debate (because they would lose the debate), and that believe in bullying others into accepting immoral values. The kind of groups I'm referring to are so-called "gay pride" groups. I experience all this behavior firsthand because I go on college campuses and distribute flyers which explain why homosexual activity is immoral. I was recently at GSU.

Homosexual groups love to smear and label decent, moral people as "homophobes" and "bigots" and "Neanderthals" (et al, ad nauseum) just because these decent people reasonably deem homosexual activity immoral.

These groups also repeatedly offend and outrage blacks by comparing blacks to sexually aberrant people. They do this by comparing the blacks' struggle for civil rights with the struggle by sexually aberrant people for the "right" to engage in disordered, immoral behavior. To compare blacks with the sexually aberrant is ridiculous and offensive, but homosexual groups do it routinely nonetheless. Talk about bigotry.

And homosexual groups, by strongly pushing the "homosexuals are born that way" propaganda (without any definitive proof incidentally) are effectively ignoring the sexual abuse of children. Researchers know that many homosexuals were sexually abused when they were young, and that sexual abuse can contribute to homosexual orientations. This is all well-documented. Yet the connection between sexual abuse and homosexuality is basically ignored by homosexual groups. What kind of "people" ignore the sexual abuse of children? (Do they ignore it because many of the abusers are same-sex abusers?)

The fact that homosexual hate groups are allowed to organize on college campuses needs to be addressed by colleges. Numerous colleges are helping to create an intolerant, hostile environment that is NOT conducive to education (unless you define education as indoctrination with one-sided, irrational propaganda). And, as we've learned the hard way, a hostile environment can someday morph into a violent one. Do colleges want riots occurring on their campuses like those that occurred during the Vietnam War? That's the direction they seem to be heading in. And by essentially subsidizing hate, they could be courting some serious lawsuits down the road.
