David Limbaugh’s latest column, Arrogant Censorship, is a good read. It fisks a high school principal’s ignorant liberal bias against conservatives.
It speaks to something I’ve been saying for a long time: some liberals have become so liberal, and are so surrounded by—encased—in a liberal mindset (particularly in academia and mainstream media), that they no longer even know they’re liberal anymore—they just think they’re normal. Ask a fish “How’s the water?” and the fish replies “What water?”
Anyone who’s been following my Ward Churchill series of blog posts (I’m up to Part 9 now) should read this, and compare.
An incident at Hudson High School in Massachusetts provides an object lesson in the occasional arrogance of liberal bias.
A group of students decided to form a conservative club as “a counterweight” to the majority political viewpoint at the school. Student Chris Bowler put up posters to publicize the club’s first meeting in December.
Within hours, school administrators reportedly removed the posters because they contained a link to the Website of High School Conservative Clubs of America (HSCCA), a national organization for high school conservative clubs. HSCCA’s Website included links to videos of beheadings by Iraqi insurgents, and the high school would not allow even an indirect reference to those links. It also blocked access to the HSCCA’s Website on school computers.
“The material was way beyond what I believe the school should be advertising,” said Principal John Stapelfeld. What? Just because the school permits students to use its facilities to promote something doesn’t mean the school itself is endorsing it. In fact, just because the local club listed the HSCCA’s Web address doesn’t mean it endorses everything HSCCA endorses.
