  1. If all these problems existed at Purdue while this Senator Deery was the Deputy Chief of Staff, I wonder what he did to try to put a stop to them? I don’t recall Purdue ever being described as a hotbed of politically liberal faculty. Or did the problem not exist, and now he’s just another MAGgot politician pandering to the White Christian Nationalist movement by drafting a bill to solve a problem that doesn’t exist.

    1. “just another MAGgot politician pandering to the White Christian Nationalist movement” …sighs…

      Your response highlights why this bill needs passed. Enough people have wised up, and continuing to allow entrenched leftists (overt and subtle) free reign to indoctrinate and discriminate at public colleges and universities needs to stop. Hopefully this bill will assist in brining some sanity back into higher education, at least in Indiana.

    2. Even conservative college professors who agree there is a problem think this bill is the wrong solution to the problem.

      https://www.indystar.com/story/opinion/columnists/2024/02/23/senate-bill-202-conservatives-left-out-of-indiana-colleges/72705625007/

      It’s very convenient to blame colleges for indoctrination when maybe what’s happening is that kids get away from parents who’ve sheltered them for far too long and discover that what their parents told them isn’t always true.

    3. The untruths of parents are only getting replaced by garbage being taught by academics, Joe.

      “Appeal to authority” doesn’t have the same legacy clout that it used to.

      The presidents of two of the world’s most prestigious professors had to resign because the radicalized munchkins in their charge were calling for genocide and they couldn’t condemn it. Oh, and one of the two was a serial plagiarist. Still on the Harvard paycheck though.

      Tim and Joe are living definitions of how history repeats itself, and a new generation of Stalins inculcate their useful idiots. Tim can’t even explain the function of the judiciary branch correctly.

      And, in spite it all, I don’t think this will work, and I agree with Joe on this. But the idea that kids are “sheltered” and that somehow, the cloistered setting of academia exposes kids to ideas from academics–who themselves totally aren’t “sheltered” physically and intellectually as well.

      Come on Joe, even you can do better than that. The embarrassments at Harvard and Penn last December prove that even Hicksville Bible College is probably more open to free inquiry. But, rather than legislate viewpoint discrimination, we should just allow these schools to continue beclowning themselves to failure. As the little ones already are, and increasingly the well-endowed schools like DePauw are feeling the pinch.

    4. I didn’t say anything about schools indoctrinating, Lauren. I forget who said it, but they’re right – you don’t read what others write.

      Kids move away from their parents, discover the world is different than they were told, parents blame the college when whatever speakers the college lined up likely has very little to do with anything … compared to the learned experiences of the kids in dorms or in parties. This has been happening for, I dunno, decades now?

      The same thing happens when kids move away from their small town to the big city absent the college experience. It’s convenient to blame it on college professors, though. Some people always need someone to blame.

      I spent four years at the school Senator Derry spent a decade employed at and can attest I went to absolutely ZERO of any of the events the school put on, nor can I think of a single thing any school employee said to me that changed my worldview or politics. I wandered in voting Republican and left voting Republican.
