Oh, my gosh. There is a web site devoted to it. I’m pretty sure that it’s satirical, but with these people it’s hard to tell. Either way, it’s pretty funny.

Stanley Kurtz has a review of Evan Coyne Maloney’s documentary on political correctness run amok on college campuses:

I was struck by the scientist who said that her students were able to figure out her politics simply by noting what she did not say. Just by teaching her subject, without adding extraneous leftist political harangues, she had revealed herself to be a closet Republican. You won

More grounds for impeachment, I’d say.
