Ohio Republicans Seek 'Academic Bill of Rights' -- 02/11/2005 Ohio Senate Bill 24 is said to be modeled after the "academic bill of rights" proposed by conservative activist David Horowitz.

The American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio says the bill would "censor" Ohio colleges and universities because it could be used to "curtail academic freedom and to encourage thought policing in our institutes of higher education." www.cnsnews.com /ViewNation.asp?Page=\Nation\archive\200502\NAT20050211a.html   (583 words)

Smythe's World # posted by Steve Smith @ 11:26 AM The great thing about the Estrada filibuster is that it has shown the Democratic minority in the Senate that they have a backbone. If he is having problems getting the support of one of the most conservative Democrats in the Senate, someone who boasted in her recent campaign for reelection how often she votes with the President, it signifies that his nomination may be in trouble. # posted by Steve Smith @ 2:46 PM As you might expect from someone whose expertise on the internet is limited to skimming Andrew Sullivan and Instapundit, "Michael Kelly" chimes in on the "diversity" of debate within the punditocracy, particularly as it pertains to blogs. smythesworld.blogspot.com /2003_02_01_smythesworld_archive.html   (77 words)
