Redefining Reality

and the conservatives complain about liberals trying to change the meanings of words:

Targeted by Conservatives for Teaching Philosophy
House bill aimed to restrain academic scholars with legal threats
by Jacqueline Marcus

Of what use is a philosopher who doesn’t hurt anybody’s feelings?—Diogenes

One may view the history of philosophy as a history of heresy.—Walter Kaufmann

In the Florida legislature, House Republicans on the Choice and Innovation Committee recently voted to pass a bill that threatens to restrain academic scholars. The law would allow students to sue teachers for beliefs that do not concur with conservative perspectives. If, for example, professors argue that evolution is a scientific fact instead of a theory, and if they don’t devote equal time to creationism, under this bill, initiated by conservative David Horowitz’s campaign, students can sue the professor for being biased.

i know that this generation is no different than the last, but this latest example of the sheer arrogance of college students who think they shouldn't have to be exposed to viewpoints that conflict with their own still shocks me.
