Colleges Being Remade Into "Repress U"?

The Nation has up a sobering article from its upcoming issue about how colleges and universities are being turned into homeland security campuses, in the name of preventing homegrown radicalization. Quoting: "From Harvard to UCLA, the ivory tower is fast becoming the latest watchtower in Fortress America. The terror warriors, having turned their attention to "violent radicalization and homegrown terrorism prevention' — as it was recently dubbed in a House of Representatives bill of the same name — have set out to reconquer that traditional hotbed of radicalization, the university."

If "the game" is something Britney Spears has, I don't think I want to catch it.

They look reasonable enough to me.

I'm disgusted by what happened at the University of Delaware, and these guys are right to oppose it.

I've never read The Nation, but I'm guessing from context that it is conservative.
