LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Oops! Your bias is showing

A week before President Trump’s State of the Union speech, the conservative organization Campus Reform sent a correspondent to interview students of New York University, asking if they watched the yet-to-be-given speech. The students responded to the not-yet-delivered speech in typical liberal campus fashion. They said it was racist, unfitting for a head of state. They hoped his proposed agenda would be overturned. When the correspondent asked them if it was OK when President Trump led the Republicans in a “Build the Wall” campaign chant, they said it was typical and offensive.

This could have been duplicated at a majority of today's American college campuses where independent thought is no longer preserved and cherished. Tragically it is seeping into all levels of education.

As President Reagan warned, “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. It must be fought for, protected and handed down to our children or one day their children will wonder what it was like in the United States when men (and women) were free.”
