the International Studies in Higher Education Act

Have you heard about this new bill passed in the House, "HR 3077: the International Studies in Higher Education Act" Basically it says that any university international studies departments that doesn't show more support for American foreign policy will risk their federal funding! Holy crap! That means if you are a professor and you say that the Iraq war was a bad idea, the gov't comes in and takes away your funding. Basiclaly the House has turned our colleges into a propaganda machine. If this bill gets signed into law, American education will go into the crapper. I'm sure that the next stage will be to cut the funding for any science department that claims that Global Warming is real.

I think this is one of those grey areas. I'm sure that the government can, but I think it'd be a gross violation of civil rights to punish people for excercising their right to free speech.

I'm stealing a phrase from colonel here, but Damn those Repugnants...
