I have found that the major (prestigious?) universities who promote these ideas in the name of academic freedom are not nearly as open to opposing, pro-American ideas. With all these pro-Palestinian organizations on campus, is the climate as welcoming for pro-American, pro-Israeli groups? I think not. Thanks for your continuing insight into the incongruity of this type of thinking.
