Professors Lose Right to Debate
Arizona lawmakers have decided college professors should not be taking positions in their classes that advocate or oppose any one side of a social, political, or cultural issue that are part of a partisan debate.
Today, it seams that every issue is a partisan issue. This would lead little to be discussed in our nation’s universities.
This would mean that professors could not discuss Darwinism because politicians have turned it into a partisan issue. The history of recent events such as the war in Iraq and the terrorist attacks on 9/11 could not be discussed, because the actual events are up for debate by a partisan forum. Of course, religious debate is out of the question. I suppose religious studies professors will be out of the job.
Sadly, religion has become a partisan issue. A person’s religion molds the very foundation of their understanding. Because of this fact, almost all subjects, from mathematics to aesthetics, have become partisan issues.
Your political heroes have made it their new goal to stupefy the nation by stifling debate in our universities.

Wasn't Socrates put to death for teaching students to debate issues that were perceived by the government to be undeniable truths. I wonder what what form of punishment will be in place for our teachers that do the right thing.
This bill was approved 4-3 in the Senate Government Committee. The bill must still go before the full Senate and would need approval from the House and the Governor.
