Words to live by

â€œI just think this is the worst type of governmental meddling. It makes the assumption that students who are attending colleges and universities need to be coddledâ€¦ that theyâ€™re not able to determine right from wrong.â€

— Missouri House Minority Leader Jeff Harris, D-Columbia, during debate regarding the "Intellectual Diversity"Bill, HB 213, which would require universities to report to the General Assembly the measures they are taking to insure "intellectual diversity."
