Activist defends students from ââ?¬Ë?leftist’ professors

Critics of higher education may argue that today’s college campuses are being overrun by leftist professors bent on indoctrinating their students. But nobody is quite as in-your-face about it as Horowitz, 67, a ’60s-radical-turned-conservative-activist who has spent the past few years crisscrossing the country to warn students: ââ?¬Å?You can’t get a good education if they’re only telling you half the story.ââ?¬Â Horowitz is having an effect. He has had success in Congress pushing his Academic Bill of Rights, a statement of principles that he says reflects his goal to both remove political agendas from campus life and ensure that no students are discriminated against because of political or ideological leanings.
