The Progressive movement in America has apparently declared Open Season on conservatism. The most recent example of radical leftist policy against conservatism took place at Florida Atlantic University. A group of students desired to start a college chapter of the conservative organization known as Young Americans for Freedom or YAF. This desire led them to request an organizational meeting with a YAF state director, the meeting was attended by several like minded students.
During the meeting University president David Blank interrupted the meeting and demanded that the students adjourn and vacate the room. In a press release issued by YAF, the YAF State Director, requested an additional 15 minutes to complete his presentation, the President permitted the students to remain but became visibly angry upon hearing the views of the YAF state director moments later. The following excerpt shines more light on the subject:
"Upon hearing Diaz address the liberal bias on the FAU campus, Blank stopped the meeting again and boorishly ordered the students to vacate the meeting room. Blank the shut off the room lights, tore down the group’s promotional posters, and called the campus police."
The events proceeded to worsen as Blank called the campus police, which arrived and immediately began checking student ID's, other officers escorted the YAF state representative to his car. The following statement was issued by Daniel Diaz, the YAF state representative, who attended the meeting:
“If we were a Marxist, Socialist or Liberal group they would have let us finish our meeting, but the university officials and police harassed us because we are conservatives. This was the exact liberal bias on campus that I was discussing in the meeting that these future YAFers experienced firsthand. The university is no longer a place of open discussion and freedom of expression, but a breeding ground of intolerance for conservative beliefs.”

The incident at FAU, is only a small example of the all out attack on conservative beliefs on college campuses throughout the United States. The attacks are a result of the ultra-liberal philosophies of college professors who are free to ignore curriculum and instead use state funded classrooms for their bully pulpit. Students that do not tow the liberal line are often ostracized and subjected to criticism as well as talked down to. The arguments often proposed by these Marxist, anti-capitalist, anti-American ideologues are all too often without reason and logic. In many instances, the fact that their arguments cannot hold up to objective analysis so disturbs these progressives that they will fail students simply because their opinions are different. This coming from a group that constantly preaches TOLERANCE.
A recent documentary has exposed the hypocrisy of the progressive movement and it's attack from within our education system. I highly recommend this video and suggest that every American, especially parents of children that may soon be attending a college or university.
