... there is this note:

"Until now, campus political bias has been like the weather: everybody talks about it but nobody does anything. Well now we have. We have sparked a nationwide campus movement to restore intellectual diversity to our college campuses. As a result of our efforts, students on fifty-nine campuses are forming chapters of a new organization, Students for Academic Freedom to accomplish this task. We have set up a national office and coordinator in Washington and have petitioned legislators to enact an Academic Bill of Rights that will insist on intellectual diversity in the university curriculum. We have created a website at www.studentsforacademicfreedom.org to be a clearing house for this national coalition of students working to restore academic integrity and academic freedom to our college campuses. You can help.

"Every dollar you give will be used to finance this effort. We are placing ads for the Academic Bill of Rights in college newspapers. We are challenging the required reading programs that assign only radical texts to incoming freshmen. We are challenging the political harrassment of conservative and religious students in the classroom, and the general abuse of the university for political agendas including professorial "teach-ins" that provide one-sided lessons about war and peace. We are demanding that diverse texts be included in the curriculum and that speakers programs include conservatives as well as leftists and liberals. In a word we are working to democratize our university campuses and produce a regime change in the academic one-party state.

"Please give to our efforts and give generously. Support our students."

======================================================================

The right wing funds this group, witness of that is Horowitz's message. They have no intention of spurring academic freedom on campus. Their aim is to rid academia of liberal voices.

Get with it--follow the money.
