The Left Wing Book Burners

Check out an opinion piece in the Yale News that discusses the liberal crushing of dissent on campus. Apparently in the more progressive universities, expression of opinion is free, but only for those who have the correct opinion:

When their ideas are challenged or attempts are made to encourage intellectual diversity on campus, liberals tend to hurl epithets that have a chilling effect on discourse. Passion for one's ideas is well and good, but shouting others down with irrational cries of "racist" and "McCarthyite" is hardly liberal at all.
