What can we do?

Reader comment on item: Harvard's Un-American Activities

Submitted by Jean L. Martin (United States), Oct 14, 2002 at 22:41

I think the case has been proven, that there is a not-so-silent prohibition of open, honest debate on these issues.
Now - where do we go from here? Do we just help David Horowitz's campaign, with money or however, or is there a way we can influence our own State legislators and governors through letters, or however? I would not send a youngster of mine, if I had one of the right age, to any major university, Ivy League or otherwise, purely because of the leftist anti-American bias first of all, and additionally because of the anti-Semitism, and the absolutely false propaganda being propagated through classroom teaching. It amounts to a complete misleading of young minds by the universities, and it is becoming dangerous. I'm a Texan, and I am ready to begin the process. A letter to my own State legislators and my Governor goes out tomorrow. After that - maybe the major newspapers? If other Texans are reading, I hope they will do the same.
