Campus
protests have not reached the extent of those of the Vietnam War
But
daily across the nation they continue to soar
Ground
zero was the icon of journalism Mizzou
Where
to some surprise there is an urging of free speech by the ACLU
Under
the guise of the race card a free speech Iron Curtain is beginning to descend
If
conservative views are espoused the left wants those views to end
The
mantra on college campuses now seems to be
We
support free speech as long as you agree with me
Even
with a motto of Lux et Veritas at Yale
Students
were blocking a free speech study with spit on attendees to impale
A
mind closed at the age of 18 to discourse of opposing ideas is a mind wasted
Deprived
of the succulent fruits of knowledge never to be fully tasted
Unable
to process challenges of life or be able to advance without force or muscle a
point of view
Mere
robots condemned to held back in the closed mind queue
With
parents and taxpayers increasingly not wanting to pay the tuition bills
For
students leaving college with little employable and reasoning skills
