UCLA Students Urged to Expose 'Radical' Professors

rts008 writes to tell us Reuters is reporting that a conservative alumni group is working hard to expose 'radical professors'. The group is a creation of 2003 UCLA graduate, Andrew Jones, who stated that he runs the organization on his own with $22,000 in private donations. From the article: "Jones told Reuters he is out to 'restore an atmosphere of respectful political discourse on campus' and says his efforts are aimed at academics who proselytize students from either side of the ideological spectrum, conservative or liberal. 'We are concerned solely with indoctrination, one-sided presentation of ideological controversies and unprofessional classroom behavior,' Jones said on his Web site." The tactics used by Jones and his group are raising quite a few questions, however, offering to pay students for recordings or teaching materials that could provide 'evidence' against professors in question.

Re:They're not "conservatives".

I believe the definition of conservative would more accurately mean those seeking preservation of the status quo. Depending on the society in power at the time, that may mean preserving slavery, segegation, dominance of a single racial group, sex, or class, etc.

Why do you push unaccepted definitions? Use a dictionary.

Gotta love it when you are attacked for speaking your mind. Did we just teleport back to the 50's or what?
