    How do all you other hipsters feel about this? I just can't find any room in my heart for people who would spread conservatism, especially since those people oppose affirmative action while asking for it for themselves.

    one gives benefits to people on tthe color of their skin and of the sexual organs they possess...the other wants EQUALITY....

    'Scuse me, but how exactly do you consider this "conservative":

    Sounds like a good idea to me.

    perhaps equality, academic freedom, and diversity ARE conservative ideals...not liberal ideas. That would be interesting.

    I don't really see the rampant conservatism here... I'm not really a fan of affirmative action anyway.

    That's some good shit, right there. Me thinks it should be adopted by our educational system.

    Yeah, I don't see how it's conservative or liberal, it's pretty much just some smart shit.

    This is not conservative in the slightest. It is however a direct indictment against the rampant ideology-driven and hyper nationalist ethos with which this administration has blanketed the national public debate.

    This movement isnt seeking equality, its seeking free and pluralistic openness in the practices of universities, which quite frankly have increasingly become centres of wrote regurgitation of the prevailing political doctrine of the times. Students, as demonstrated in countless fora across the internet, clearly have not been taught the basic principles of reasoned examination of empirical data through which the reality and truth of any matter may be grasped.

    Not particularly, however it makes me despair that responses such as yours have to resort to glib and snide remarks rather than sticking to the issue under discussion. Such responses only reaffirm the dumbing down of our education system as does the increasing practice of personal attack when intelligent counter-argument proves too difficult.

    affirmative action
    What a joke...
    I always loved this story...

    Affirmative Action Bake Sale
    written by Dr. Walter E. Williams

    In early February, Bruin Republicans organized a campus cookie sale, but not your ordinary cookie sale. They offered cookies at different prices depending on the customer's race and sex. Black, Latino and American Indian females were charged 25 cents for a cookie while their male counterparts were charged 50 cents. White females were charged a dollar. White males were charged two dollars. Asian males and females also were charged two dollars a cookie.

    Actually the "Students Bill of Rights" looks good. But wait, someone with "Conservative" veiws backs this so it must be bad.
