Anita

Hill’s televised testimony that Clarence Thomas sexually harassed her

is credited for ushering in the Year of the Woman. But it also has

another, less visible legacy.

Right on the heels of FX’s The

People v. O.J. Simpson, the HBO film Confirmation offers another

opportunity to relive a depressing ’90s spectacle—in this case, Clarence

Thomas’ Supreme Court hearings. Anita Hill’s televised testimony that

Thomas sexually harassed her, and her poor treatment at the hands of the

all-male Senate Judiciary Committee, are often credited with raising

awareness of the issue of workplace sexual harassment and ushering in

the so-called Year of the Woman, the 1992 election of four women to the

Senate. (Confirmation premieres April 16 and stars Scandal’s Kerry

Washington as Hill and The Wire’s Wendell Pierce as Thomas.)

But

the Thomas hearings have another, less visible legacy. A small group of

prominent Washington women rallied around the nominee; they were headed

by the late <b>Ricky Silberman,</b> a friend of Thomas’ who, like Hill, had

worked with him at the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Calling

themselves Women for Judge Thomas, they pointedly demonstrated that not

all women, simply by virtue of their sex, were ready to don an “I

Believe Anita Hill” pin.<b> This ad-hoc bunch—which included Anita Blair,

Barbara Ledeen, and the late Barbara Olson—went on to form the

Independent Women’s Forum, a D.C. nonprofit devoted to waging war on

mainstream feminism. </b>

Back

in the 1970s, Phyllis Schlafly and her allies had whipped up fears of

unisex public bathrooms and female military conscription in order to

help kill the Equal Rights Amendment</b>. After that, groups such as

Schlafly’s Eagle Forum and Beverly LaHaye’s Concerned Women for America

railed against reproductive rights and gay rights and championed

traditional gender roles.<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);"> But among conservative women’s groups, the IWF

was something new. If you squinted, its members—enterprising, educated

professionals—looked like they could belong to the National Organization

for Women. Instead, they had an extreme loathing for the feminist

movement. </span>

<b>The IWF argued that second-wave feminism had solved

the problem of sex discrimination</b>. In a 1997 interview with now-defunct

conservative magazine Insight, Blair, who was by then IWF president,

said that current feminists were “playing out their own Freudian drama

on the policy stage, saying, ‘Well, my first husband walked out on me,

or I never had dates in high school, so all men are bad.’ ” A 1997 IWF

press release called National Pay Inequity Awareness Day “a cruel hoax …

designed to brainwash girls and young women into believing that they

are victims.”</font></p><p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"> The IWF’s Elizabeth Larson, in the organization’s Women’s

Quarterly magazine, called sexual harassment an issue drummed up by “a

growing number of women, many spurred on by Anita Hill’s example … [who]

find it more profitable to litigate than to work.”<b> After the 1994

passage of the Violence Against Women Act—spearheaded by then-Sen. Joe

Biden in what was widely seen as atonement for his mishandling of the

Thomas hearings</b>—the IWF argued that the legislation should be repealed

or receive zero funding;<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 153, 0);"> IWF spokeswoman (and ’90s right-wing It Girl)

Laura Ingraham referred to VAWA as feminist “pork” with a “tear-jerker”

title. </span>The group also took on affirmative action, headlining a Women’s

Quarterly article on the topic “That’s No White Male, That’s My

Husband”—a phrase that revealed a lot about IWF constituents’ racial

identities and loyalties. (“You can’t have white guys saying you don’t

need affirmative action,” Ledeen told the Washington Post when asked why

the anti-feminist IWF had organized as women in the first place.)

<b>In

1995, NOW President Patricia Ireland, in a considerable understatement,

called it “a little startling” that the new and tiny conservative

upstart IWF, with fewer than 2,000 members, was garnering media coverage

to rival that of Ireland’s mass-membership organization</b>. <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">It surely

helped that stalwart right-wing donors including Richard Scaife and the

Koch brothers were funding the IWF, and that its<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 102, 0);"> well-connected roster

included former National Endowment for the Humanities chairwoman (and

wife of Dick Cheney) <b>Lynne Cheney,</b></span></span><b> Who Stole Feminism? author</b><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 153, 0);"><b> Christina

Hoff Sommers,</b> neoconservative writer (and wife of Norman Podhoretz)

Midge Decter, and Wendy Lee Gramm and <b>Mary Ellen Bork, married,

respectively, to Texas Sen. Phil Gramm and rejected Supreme Court

nominee Robert Bork. </b></span>

<b>Hill was often dismissed as overreacting to a joke about a pubic hair on a Coke can.</b>

<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">While

much of the IWF’s campaign against feminism was waged in the media, the

group also took the fight to Capitol Hill; the IWF testified before

Congress against the Violence Against Women Act and affirmative action,

and filed amicus briefs opposing the enforcement of Title IX and the

coeducation of the Virginia Military Institute</span>.
</font></p><p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><b>After the election of

George W. Bush, the IWF’s clout grew as its members received posts

within the new administration, among them Elaine Chao as labor

secretary,</b> Diana Furchtgott-Roth as chief of staff of the White House

Council of Economic Advisers, and Blair as deputy assistant secretary of

the Navy. <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Most absurdly, two<b> IWF members, then-president Nancy

Pfotenhauer </b>and board member Margot Hill, were appointed to the

administration’s National Advisory Committee on Violence Against Women.</span>
<b>
Despite

engaging in serious business, the IWF’s spokeswomen never appeared to

take themselves too seriously; they loved to bait feminists but always

with a smile. Blair said, “There’s a telltale way to find a liberal

feminist: It’s the nasty wrinkles around her mouth that she gets from

frowning. You’ll probably find my side with laugh lines.</b>” “We have no

angry agenda,” Grace Paine Terzian, then publisher of Women’s Quarterly,

told a journalist in 1995. When Wendy Kaminer wrote on right-wing

challenges to feminism in the American Prospect the following year, the

IWF’s Elizabeth Lurie responded in a letter to the editor that she had

found the piece “howlingly funny.” All of this forced cheer was intended

to highlight the contrast between the IWF’s anti-feminism and its

caricatured version of feminism, which, according to<b> Hoff Sommers in a

1996 60 Minutes profile of the IWF, had come to mean “that you’re

chronically offended, that you’re looking for oppression and bias under

every tree.” 
</b>
Plenty of people still see Hill as fitting this

description, even 25 years after the Thomas hearings. Although she

accused Thomas of repeated graphic descriptions of pornographic films,

including scenes of rape and bestiality, and of detailed boasts about

his own sexual prowess, Hill was and is often dismissed as overreacting

to a joke about a pubic hair on a Coke can. Indeed, IWF managing

director Carrie Lukas recently described Hill’s allegations against

Thomas as “rather PG-rated.”

Of course, the IWF exists not

because its founders thought Hill was overreacting but because, as

friends of Thomas, they thought she was lying. In the years since—when

downplaying the existence and impact of sex discrimination and of

gender-based crimes such as harassment, rape, and domestic violence—the

IWF doesn’t suggest that all women are lying. The group has frequently

suggested, however, that women who speak out about these issues are

whining, and should stop playing the victim, and ought to pull

themselves up by their bootstraps. In that sense the IWF, whose current

mission is to “improve the lives of Americans by<b> increasing the number

of women who value free markets and personal liberty,” has ties to

Thomas that are not merely personal but philosophical as well.</b>

The

women of the IWF continue to stand by Clarence Thomas, and he by them.

After Silberman’s 2007 death, Thomas sat down with the group’s Michelle

Bernard and Charlotte Hays to talk about his friend for the IWF

newsletter. “Sometimes at IWF we are accused of being anti-women and

anti-feminist, because our mantra is that all issues are women’s

issues,” his interviewers noted. “I wouldn’t worry about that too much,”

Thomas responded, proceeding to describe his own experiences being

called “traitor” and “Uncle Tom.” “When I am criticized, I take it as a

compliment,” he said. “If I weren’t relevant, they wouldn’t talk about

me. <b>Don’t worry about it. You just wish them good health and do it with a

smile.</b>”</font></p><p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><b>

As chairman of the National Endowment for the Humanities from 1986 to 1993, she wrote and spoke about the importance of teaching children about the leaders, events, and ideas that have shaped our world, and she worked to provide opportunities for educators to gain the in-depth knowledge that lies behind outstanding teaching. Cheney has worked to bring tales of the American past to a wide audience, writing articles about history for numerous publications on topics ranging from women’s suffrage in the West to the way Americans celebrated the country’s centennial. She has also turned her attention to children and their families, writing six bestselling history books for them, including “We the People: The Story of Our Constitution” (Simon & Schuster, 2008). Her most recent book — an in-depth biography of James Madison, titled “James Madison: A Life Reconsidered” (Viking, 2014) — is a New York Times bestseller. Cheney is currently writing a new book on the Early Republic, focusing on the Virginia Dynasty (George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and James Monroe).</font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></div><div>

</div><div><b>...N</b><span style="background-color: rgb(249, 249, 249);"><b>o one worried much about the College Board having this de facto power over curriculum until that organization released a detailed framework—for courses beginning last year—on which the Advanced Placement tests on U.S. history will be based from 2015 onward.</b> When educators, academics and other concerned citizens realized how many notable figures were missing and how negative was the view of American history presented, they spoke out forcefully. The response of the College Board was to release the sample exam that features Ronald Reagan as a warmonger.</span></div><p style=""><font style="" size="4" face="Times New Roman"><span style="background-color: rgb(249, 249, 249);">It doesn’t stop there. </span><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">On the multiple-choice part of the sample exam, there are 18 sections, and eight of them take up the oppression of women, blacks and immigrants. Knowing about the experiences of these groups is important—but truth requires that accomplishment be recognized as well as oppression, and the exam doesn’t have questions on subjects such as the transforming leadership of Martin Luther King Jr.</span></font></p><p style="background-color: rgb(249, 249, 249);"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The framework requires that all questions take up sweeping issues, such as “<b>group identity,” which leaves little place for transcendent individuals.</b> Men and women who were once studied as inspirational figures have become examples of trends, and usually not uplifting ones. The immigrant story that the exam tells is of oppressed people escaping to America only to find more oppression. That many came seeking the Promised Land—and found it here—is no longer part of the narrative.</font></p><p style="background-color: rgb(249, 249, 249);"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Critics have noted that Benjamin Franklin is absent from the new AP U.S. history framework, and perhaps in response, the College Board put a quotation from Franklin atop the sample exam. Yet not one of the questions that were asked about the quotation has to do with Franklin. They are about George Whitefield, an evangelist whom Franklin described in the quote. This odd deflection makes sense in the new test, considering that Franklin was a self-made man, whose rise from rags to riches would have been possible only in America—an example of the exceptionalism that doesn’t fit the worldview that pervades the AP framework and sample exam.</font></p><p style=""><font style="" size="4" face="Times New Roman"><span style="background-color: rgb(249, 249, 249);">Evangelist Whitefield, an Englishman who preached in the colonies, was a key figure in the Great Awakening, an evangelical revival that began in the 1730s. Here, however, he is held up as an example of “</span><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">trans-Atlantic exchanges,” which seems completely out of left field until one realizes that the underlying notion is that we need to stop thinking nationally and think globally. Our history is<b> simply </b>part of a larger story.</span></font></p><p style=""><font style="" size="4" face="Times New Roman"><span style="background-color: rgb(249, 249, 249);">Aside from a section about mobilizing women to serve in the workforce, the sample exam has nothing to say about World War II, the conflict in which the U.S. liberated millions of people and ended one of the most evil regimes in the history of the world.</span><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);"> The heroic acts of the men who landed on Omaha Beach and lifted the flag on Iwo Jima are ignored. The wartime experiences that the new framework prefers are those raising “questions about American values,” such as “the internment of Japanese Americans, challenges to civil liberties, debates over race and segregation, and the decision to drop the atomic bomb.”</span></font></p><p style="background-color: rgb(249, 249, 249);"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Why would the College Board respond to criticism by putting out a sample exam that proves the critics’ point? Perhaps it is a case of those on the left being so confirmed in their biases that they no longer notice them. Or maybe the College Board doesn’t care what others think.</font></p><p style=""><font style="" size="4" face="Times New Roman"><span style="background-color: rgb(249, 249, 249);">Some states are trying to get its attention. </span><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">The Texas State Board of Education, noting that the AP U.S. history framework is incompatible with that state’s standards, has formally requested that the College Board do a rewrite. The Georgia Senate has passed a resolution to encourage competition for the College Board’s AP program.</span><span style="background-color: rgb(249, 249, 249);"> If anything brings a change, it is likely to be such pressure from the states, which provide the College Board with substantial revenue.</span></font></p><p style="background-color: rgb(249, 249, 249);"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Some 20 years ago, as chairman of the National Endowment for the Humanities, I made a grant to a group to create voluntary standards for U.S. history. When the project was finished, I had standards on my hands that were overwhelmingly negative about the American story, so biased that I felt obliged to condemn them in an op-ed for The Wall Street Journal called “The End of History.”</font></p><p style="background-color: rgb(249, 249, 249);"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">I learned an important lesson, one worth repeating today. The curriculum shouldn’t be farmed out, not to the federal government and not to private groups. It should stay in the hands of the people who are constitutionally responsible for it: the citizens of each state.</font></p><p style="background-color: rgb(249, 249, 249);"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Mrs. Cheney, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, writes about history.

</div><div><p style="background-color: rgb(249, 249, 249);">What is American Patriotism? What are its special roots? How can it be maintained? In his new book,</p><p style="background-color: rgb(249, 249, 249);"><a class="eResources" href="http://www.aei.org/publication/making-patriots-2/" style="background: transparent; text-decoration-line: none;">Making Patriots</a><i> (</i>May 2001, University of Chicago Press), Walter Berns addresses these difficult and urgent questions. Like all countries, America sometimes requires the devotion of its citizens and even the “last full measure of their devotion.” Yet America is not like all other countries. It is founded on the concepts of equality and democracy–tenets that encourage individuality and autonomy far more readily than public spiritedness and self-sacrifice. How do self-interested individuals become patriots? Panelists will discuss this paradox and consider how American patriotism can be revived as we enter the twenty-first century.</p></div><div></div><div>1996</div><div>
</div><div><p style="background-color: rgb(249, 249, 249);">True or false:</p><ul style="padding-left: 2em; background-color: rgb(249, 249, 249);"><li style="margin: 0px 0px 1em;">The American Revolution “called into question” relationships between man and woman and parent and child.</li><li style="margin: 0px 0px 1em;">The Great Depression ranks with the American Revolution in “its effects on the lives of Americans.”</li><li style="margin: 0px 0px 1em;">“At the beginning of the 20th century, Western nations enjoyed a dominance in world affairs that they no longer possess.”</li></ul><p style="background-color: rgb(249, 249, 249);">According to the revised version of the national standards for history, all of the above are true. They are presented as established fact–despite the questions they invite: If the American Revolution called patriarchy into question, why did the status of women remain unchanged for so long? How can the Depression, an economic crisis of limited duration, possibly rank with the Revolution that led to the creation of America? As for the status of the West vis-a-vis the rest of the world, the U.S., a decidedly Western nation, is the world’s foremost military power. And what of the profound influence of Western civilization? With people around the world developing Western forms of government and using Western economic arrangements, how can it be claimed that the West’s dominance has not endured?</p><p style=""><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">The standards as revised are an improvement over the original. The often tendentious teaching examples have been excised–one called for students to discuss Tip O’Neill’s statement that Ronald Reagan was “a cheerleader for selfishness”. </span><span style="background-color: rgb(249, 249, 249);">And there have been important additions, such as those that make Soviet culpability in the Cold War clear. But the result is still not a model for what we should be teaching in our schools. Although Diane Ravitch and Arthur Schlesinger Jr. assured us on this page (“The New, Improved History Standards,” April 3) that the revised standards “do not take sides,” in fact they do–they treat matters that should be debated as though the argument is over.</span></p><p style=""><span style="background-color: rgb(249, 249, 249);">According to the vocabulary of the standards, for example, it has apparently been decided that pressure for economic, social and political change coming from liberals is properly designated “reform,” but when it comes from conservatives, it should be called “reaction.”</span><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);"> The Progressives emerge as the most admirable figures in American history: “Students can be inspired by how fervently the Progressives applied themselves to the renewal of American democracy.” Perhaps so, but shouldn’t the standards present the Founding Fathers as at least equally inspiring?</span><span style="background-color: rgb(249, 249, 249);"> Coming nearer to the present day, the standards ask students to discuss “the sluggishness in the overall rate of economic growth” since 1973, an instruction that neatly overlooks the remarkable economic expansion of the Reagan years. One area in which the standards are especially one-sided is in their presentation of education policy. In the introduction, the authors of the standards promote the Clinton administration’s Goals 2000, which most Republicans find severely flawed. The standards embrace the idea of “equity in the educational resources” for all students as a “moral obligation.” Such a notion, while generally admired by liberals, is not thought much of by conservatives, who deny that student achievement is a product of resources expended. Iowa’s students regularly manage to achieve the nation’s highest test scores, conservatives point out, although that state spends only half as much to educate each student as do some others. The standards also endorse the idea of national standards, as do Ms. Ravitch and Mr. Schlesinger in their Journal opinion piece. Their argument goes like this: Because the standards are now objective and rigorous, they should be adopted by every state. But, as I have tried to show, the premise of this argument is in doubt. And if we have learned anything from the debacle of the original history standards (and the English/language arts standards as well), it should be that danger can lie in deciding to visit a single version of any subject on every child in the nation. That single version can too easily go awry, and the risks thus entailed are not worth any reward that might come even if a truly excellent national model were developed.</span></p><p style="background-color: rgb(249, 249, 249);">This is particularly so since the states are quite capable of excellence. Relying on citizens as well as on professors and education experts, a commission appointed by Virginia Gov. George Allen has developed straightforward, sensible history standards. Avoiding controversial interpretations, the Virginia standards are notable for their evenhandedness, asking students to “compar[e] conservative and liberal economic strategies,” for example.</p><p style="background-color: rgb(249, 249, 249);">The states do not, of course, always get it right. California’s decade-long adoption of “whole language” reading instruction is a case in point. Persuaded by various experts that phonics do not matter, California quit teaching children to sound out words–with the result that a recent assessment found the state ranking dead last in fourth-grade reading proficiency. The saving grace here, the blessing of state vs. national standards, is that there are kids outside California whose reading skills, thanks to phonics instruction, are still up to par. When a state makes a mistake, the damage is limited.
</p><p style="background-color: rgb(249, 249, 249);">Let me now confess, as I have before, that I have not always appreciated the wisdom of the framers of the Constitution in reserving authority over education to the states. Appalled that students in the U.S. seemed to know less about history every year, I concluded in the early 1990s that it might be possible to reverse this trend with national standards of the kind that exist in France and Japan, where every student in a given course nationwide has the same demanding curriculum as every other student. As chairman of the National Endowment for the Humanities, I signed a grant to help develop national history standards.</p><p style="background-color: rgb(249, 249, 249);">But the way those standards turned out showed that I was wrong. If we want to look abroad for a model, we should consider the highly regarded educational system of Germany. There, standards are developed exclusively at the state level, and it is no accident that they are. At the end of World War II, Americans imposed upon German schools the state-based system for which our own Constitution provides. The Federal Republic of Germany has demonstrated that system’s capacity for excellence. And so should we.</p></div><div></div><div>

</div><div>...<span style="background-color: rgb(249, 249, 249);">Changing the reward system of higher education is likely to take a very long time–and that’s the optimistic view. So, too, is it likely to take a long time for every state in the union to put in place history standards–and the tests to match them–that will ensure that youngsters in grade school, middle school, and high school gain essential knowledge of our nation’s past. The fact that the improvement of historical education in our schools and colleges and universities won’t happen overnight is no reason to quit the struggle. I certainly intend to keep working on it–and applauding the efforts of groups like the</span><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);"> National Association of Scholars and the American Council of Trustees and Alumni that have spoken out forcefully in favor of well-rounded general education. </span><span style="background-color: rgb(249, 249, 249);">But we should recognize that until long-term efforts succeed, American history will remain largely mysterious to many graduates of our finest institutions. They will continue to place Ulysses S. Grant at Yorktown–unless we come up with extracurricular ways to encourage them to know the men and women and events and ideas that have shaped this country.</span></div><p style=""><font style="" size="4" face="Times New Roman"><span style="background-color: rgb(249, 249, 249);">I began thinking about this when I read there were</span><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);"> teach-ins on our campuses, not very well attended events</span><span style="background-color: rgb(249, 249, 249);">, according to what I’ve read–and little wonder. They fit an old paradigm when this country was involved in a war with which large numbers of Americans disagreed, in which many, rightly or wrongly, thought vital American interests were not at stake. None of that applies now. This is not a war in which we get to choose whether or not to fight. Thousands of Americans were killed on the very first day of conflict here at home. We don’t have the luxury of not getting involved.</span></font></p><p style="background-color: rgb(249, 249, 249);"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">It’s time for gatherings of a new kind, it seems to me, in which we remind ourselves of exactly what it is we are defending, in which we talk about exactly what it is we have at stake. Let us talk to one another about freedom, asking, perhaps as a start, why the founders–Jefferson and Madison, in particular–were so determined that government would have no role in determining how people worship. We might take the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom for our text. Jefferson wrote it, Madison got it through the Virginia legislature. In this remarkable time in which we live, any of us can get it off the internet and see that for Jefferson the issue was not just religious freedom, but intellectual freedom. “Truth is great,” he wrote, “and will prevail if left to herself. She is the proper and sufficient antagonist to error, and has nothing to fear from the conflict, unless by human interposition [she is] disarmed of her natural weapons, free argument and debate.” Let us engage in conversations in which we explore how the clash of ideas has benefited this country and how the ability to follow a thought wherever it may lead has brought the flourishing of invention and business and art.</font></p><p style=""><font style="" size="4" face="Times New Roman"><span style="background-color: rgb(249, 249, 249);">We might also meet to talk about valor and use as one of our resources the web site of the </span><b style="background-color: rgb(249, 249, 249);">Congressional Medal of Honor Society.</b><span style="background-color: rgb(249, 249, 249);"> There are so many stories of heroism on it, so many stories of men throwing themselves on grenades or exposing themselves to enemy fire in order to save those near them.

</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">When 17-year-old Kuwaiti immigrant Ahmad Al-Qloushi handed in the final paper for his American government course at California's Foothill College last November, he never expected what happened next. The professor “verbally attacked me and my essay,” the freshman — an Arab Muslim — wrote in the online FrontPage Magazine, published by the conservative Center for the Study of Popular Culture. 1</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Al-Qloushi's assignment had been to demonstrate that the U.S. Constitution represented elite interests, excluding most people who lived in America at the time it was written. But Al-Qloushi refused to accept that interpretation, which had been put forward by authors the class had studied. During his high school days in Kuwait, he recalled, “Many of my teachers were Palestinian; they hated America, they hated my world-view, and they did their best to brainwash me.” Al-Qloushi decided that he had not left his home country to come to the United States “to receive further brainwashing.” 2</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">So he wrote the paper on his own topic — a defense of “the U.S. Constitution as a pioneering document, which has contributed to extraordinary freedoms” both in the United States and elsewhere. 3</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">But according to Professor Joseph Woolcock, the essay didn't meet his course standards. “When I read the paper, it became clear to me that it did not respond to the question,” Woolcock wrote. 4</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Remarks about women's science aptitude by Harvard President Lawrence Summers last January ignited protests from students and faculty as well as charges from conservatives that some liberals were trying to chill free speech on campus. (Getty Images/Jodi Hilton)   </font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Remarks about women's science aptitude by Harvard President Lawrence Summers last January ignited protests from students and faculty as well as charges from conservatives that some liberals were trying to chill free speech on campus. (Getty Images/Jodi Hilton)</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Faced with a failing grade and what he saw as Woolcock's attempt to intimidate him by demanding that he see a therapist, Al-Qloushi went public. (Woolcock says he only recommended counseling because of fears and agitation the student expressed during their meeting.) The Foothill College Republican Club, of which Al-Qloushi was president, told reporters Al-Qloushi had been harassed by a left-wing professor because he wrote a pro-American essay.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The story quickly became a hot topic on political blogs (Web journals) as David <b>Horowitz </b>and other conservative commentators leaped to Al-Qloushi's defense. But other analysts — including self-described centrist and conservative political science professors — argued that the freshman deserved his failing mark on purely academic grounds.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Steven Taylor, an associate professor of political science at Alabama's Troy University, wrote that he would have given the essay “a low score, maybe even a failing score” because Al-Qloushi “did not answer the question” and the essay was “fluffy and subjective.” According to Taylor, rather than constituting America-bashing, Woolcock's essay question “notes, correctly, that the Constitution . . . was written by the elites of the day and . . . limited democratic participation. Regardless of one's political point of view, there is no denying . . . these facts.” 5</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The dust-up is part of a new wave of campus wars between professors claiming academic freedom — the right to make educational and research decisions based on their professional expertise — and critics who argue that unchecked left-wing political bias at liberal arts colleges creates a threatening environment for conservative students and discourages them from expressing their views. The controversies usually surround such polarizing issues as the war on terror, the Iraq war, the increasing popularity of fundamentalist Christian views, the growing clout of feminists and gays and the Middle East conflict.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">“The fact that this student was failed . . . is an indication of how disingenuous Ahmad's professor is,” wrote Horowitz, president of the Center for the Study of Popular Culture, which has been leading the charge against liberalism among academics. He cites Al-Qloushi's article in FrontPage as evidence of the student's writing ability. 6</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Horowitz, a 1960s left-winger-turned-conservative, founded Students for Academic Freedom (SAF), which — along with similar conservative groups — publicizes such incidents to reveal what they claim is a nationwide campus climate that stifles conservative ideas. For instance, the <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">American Council of Trustees and Alumni (ACTA) — founded in 1995 by former National Endowment for the Humanities chairwoman Lynne Cheney, wife of Vice President Dick Cheney — publicized studies showing that a large majority of liberal arts professors have left-leaning views.</span></font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">r20051007-rightsmap.gif  </font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">According to ACTA and other groups, the silencing of conservatives is particularly dangerous in a post-Sept. 11 era and during wartime, because authority figures should foster patriotism during such times of crisis. A month after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, for instance, ACTA published “Defending Civilization: How Our Universities Are Failing America and What Can Be Done About It” — detailing more than 100 examples of allegedly dangerous, left-wing preference for criticism over patriotism on campus.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">“While America's elected officials from both parties and media commentators . . . condemned the attacks and followed the president in calling evil by its rightful name, many faculty demurred. Some refused to make judgments,” ACTA charged. “Many invoked tolerance and diversity as antidotes to evil. Some even pointed accusatory fingers, not at the terrorists but at America itself.” This response reveals an academia overrun by the left and “increasingly unfriendly to the free exchange of ideas.” 7</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">But many free-speech advocates argue that it's precisely in times of crisis — or when Americans are being sent off to war — that hearing all sides of the argument matters most. “A university in which students and faculty have any fear of reprisal for discussing controversial topics is one that is rendered impotent to address society's most crucial issues,” wrote Greg Lukianoff, legal and public-advocacy director of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE), in a letter protesting the University of New Mexico's investigation and discipline of a history professor who made a strong, unpopular comment about the Sept. 11 attack on the Pentagon. 8</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Republican lawmakers around the country, however, are heeding the warnings about a dearth of conservative voices on campus. In the past two years Congress and at least 18 states have considered legislation to combat what is seen as one-sided campus debate and to strengthen the hand of political and religious conservatives by introducing bills based on an Academic Bill of Rights (ABOR) developed by SAF.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">For instance, a House education panel — but not its Senate counterpart — has approved a “sense of Congress” provision urging colleges to ensure that students are not intimidated or disadvantaged because of their political or religious views. The House also approved establishing a national oversight board to ensure that diverse views are represented in </font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">...</font></div></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"></font></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
