Climate of Fear Part 19
Conservative writer and speaker David Horowitz was assaulted last night while giving a speech at Butler University. (via Michelle Malkin) I read Horowitz's book Radical Son a few years ago and in it he details why he stopped being a radical leftist and eventually voted for Reagan. One of the main reasons was the radical left's toleration for violence against innocents, including the suspected murder (by a member of the Black Panthers) of a woman Horowitz knew.
Also, a violent protest by students at UC Santa Cruz interrupted a career fair and drove several military recruiters off the campus.
Students had to present identification at the door and reporters asking to enter were screened. That didnt stop the student protesters. About 75 of them pushed their way in, carrying signs and a banner that said "Military Off Our Campus."
Around 11 years ago when I was looking at colleges I toured UC Santa Cruz's campus. Of all the universities I toured, UCSC was the only one where the tour guide was obviously not very bright. Her tour, which included pointing out the co-ed bathrooms, convinced me that it was not the right institution for me and I never applied.
