Universities in Canada have also been invaded by the PC police. There are "profs" who are nothing more than preachers for Islam. (I've often wondered what would be necessary to get a passing grade in courses taught by these advocates for Islam -- start praying 5 times a day? women start wearing burkas?)

Speaking of the bigoted and biased and closed minds at universities -- I happened to catch a glimpse of President Bush addressing a congregation (of Islamists) at John Hopkins University on Monday (broadcast by CNN) -- students of a school of "Advanced International Studies." One questioner ... demanded the Prez acknowledge that Islam has had democratic principles enumerated for centuries -- long before the U.S. constitution of 1776 (just funny that Islamic "democracy" has never made any appearance in the "real" world -- but, oh well.) The Prez just laughed and noted that if that were *really* the case, then there was no contention -- no grounds for any argument -- all were in agreement... as I laugh -- I'm sure that answer (a simple application of logic) must have left the burka-clad Islamist dumbstruck.

It really is amazing just how dumbed-down universities have become...and, these are our future leaders...
