Did the author's head explode when he found out about Marvin Olasky?


I have no idea.  It was just something someone had hung on the 
board.  Most of what I recall of his argument was that college professors 
need to be open-minded, and Democrats are open-minded while Republicans 
are closed-minded, therefore . . .

Did anyone write a rebuttal? Was it obvious who posted the article? Where I 
have worked, everything had to be pre-approved, with a set posting date. 
Even if you were selling a car or announcing a co-worker having a baby. 
Where I'm at now, there are no rules. Postings go up that have no relevance 
to anything. One proud parent was putting up articles from a newspaper 
whenever his son won a wrestling match. That stopped when someone put up 
articles whenever his son lost. (Adopting lil' devil look. Best $7.50 I 
ever spent, the losing articles were ripped down pretty quickly and I 
needed 15 papers before the parent gave up.)

No big deal. You said you were just visiting. Heck, I don't know what your 
views are.
