Want to see something interesting about David Horowitz's group that promotes academic freedom?
Matthew LaClair could be considered a muckraker when it comes to right wing indoctrination in the schools. When he was a junior he recorded his teacher trying to religiously indoctrinate his fellow students, and as a senior he detected factually incorrect things in his "American Government" book that promoted the conservative ideology.

So, what are David Horowitz and his allies at Students for Academic Freedom doing to support this defender of Academic Freedom?

Take a look for yourself:
%3BLH%3A70%3BLW%3A800%3B&domains=studentsforacademicfreedom.org%3Bfrontpagemagazine.com&q=%22matthew+laclair%22&btnG=Search&sitesearch=studentsforacademicfreedom.org

The search engine's response speaks volumes about the Right Wing's true agenda when it comes to academic freedom.

1. Here's what the right wing means by "academic freedom":
They mean "freedom to confine classrooms exclusively to their particular conservative/religious propaganda."

3. David Horowitz and his ilk don't want to talk about him
If they are so much about defending "academic freedom", then shouldn't they be going after conservative attacks on it as well?

4. I have always hated this guy...
...Horowitz is a tool.

I am always looking for interesting things on Mr. Horowitz, so if you find anything else, please post it on his "wiki" page (Mr. Horowitz's "wiki" page)

Thank you for posting this.
