Letter: Conservatives losing steam for a reason
April 15, 2015
In response to Robert Dunn’s Letter to the Editor, “Conservatism continues despite struggles.” Politics is not a war. I do not assume that you can and are able to speak for all conservatives but this continues to be the issue with the conservative agenda. You are not in a war! To compare the plight of conservatives to D-Day is irresponsible and disrespectful to everyone who was there that day.
Conservatives have put themselves in this position.
It appears that it is quite clear what has happened to conservatives on college campuses today. Students and staff associated with colleges have been educated. The “leftist dogma” you refer to is codified in documents such as Student Codes of Conduct and Handbooks on campuses across the nation because it is best practice and ensures that everyone is treated equitably across all sectors of the university setting.
Instead of attempting to bring people back to the “truth” why don’t you listen to what everyone is attempting to teach you? Racism, sexism and homophobia are all real things. People have to deal with these issues on a daily basis. Why wouldn’t a university attempt to stop these acts of hate and/or ignorance before they happen? Everyone should be protected from discrimination, oppression and marginalization. So if the “leftist dogma” you refer to is what protects students in university code then I say bring on the “political correctness” and “leftist dogma” and let everyone be free to be who they are with the protection of the university.
