Perhaps you'd like to explain why Brown University banned a fundamentalist
Christian group from campus. And why armed guards are necessary when conservative
speakers like Ann Coulter and David Horowitz arrive on campus to speak. And why a
group of students of Columbia felt free to attack a speaker representing minutemen
who monitor illegals crossing our border. In other words, I don't believe your
the views you express here coincide with those of your peers or reality.
