Affirmative action for right wing faculty!
The same legislature is voting to forbid using race as a criteria in admission to those same institutions.

1. Too frigging funny...

2. if there was any question about Horowitz's intellectual honesty...
it's gone now. Not only is it quotas, but it's frivolous legislation.

3. Would such a law require.....
Democrats and Muslin instructors be part of the faculty of 'Christian' colleges such as Bob Jones University or Oral Roberts as well?

4. Have they no sense of decency? Have they no shame?
Of course not. No more than the original people propagandized by Goebbels v1.0 were.

v2.0, of course, having been designed to destroy the American Republic and has been quite successful, thus far.

So I expect "affirmative action for conservatives" to not only take off but reshape our universities in very much the same way as the Nuremburg Laws.

But much kinder and gentler. For the moment.

5. They also lack a sense of irony,
or maybe they have one but just don't care. Probably the latter.
