Liberals Are Stifling Intellectual Diversity on Campus : A Debate

Infobase, (film distributor.). Intelligence2 (Added Author).

Summary: What is college for? To many, it's a place for personal and intellectual growth, a setting that provides students the opportunity to explore new ideas and philosophies that challenge their beliefs. But is it really? Recent cancellations of politically controversial speakers, rescinded honorary degrees, and scrutiny of certain university groups have raised concerns that liberal intolerance pervades the nation's campuses. Are liberals shutting down speech and stifling intellectual diversity on campus? Or is this simply a myth propagated by conservatives, based on the preponderance of liberals at universities rather than intentionally discriminatory actions?
