When Professors Are Not Civil

George Leef

In today's Pope Center piece, Jay Schalin writes about two recent incidents where leftist professors publicly rebuked students for offering opinions with which they disagreed.

I don't think the leftists have a monopoly on political anger, but don't we often hear from them that it's the Right (conservatives and libertarians) that's  just boiling over with anger?

Faculty members ought to lead by example, but these professors (at Iowa State and Davidson) certainly have not.
