If you don't believe me, well, you've got your head in the sand and your hands in your ears. Those who were proposing the bill. Who would vote against such a thing when the only argument they were given against it was that if you didn't want the costs of hats to go up a couple dollars, vote no. Our intellectual diversity is strikingly spare. We host liberal speakers almost without fail.
Most campus activism surrounds causes on a strongly liberal agenda.
We learn and live in a sea of unadulterated liberalism, and it is hurting us. A university which does not contain intellectual diversity is one that has lost one of its most potent teaching tools. It has lost the exchange and growth that students engage in amongst each other. For every lesson to be learned in the classroom, there is another to be gained by talking with those around us, by discussing our ideas and the events which shape our lives. At Brown though, there is an overpowering lack of foils against which we can dispute our liberal ideals.
