Cirino's Senate Bill 83 is a step toward neutralizing liberal bias on campus: Ted Diadiun

State Sen. Jerry Cirino of Kirtland, sponsor of SB 83, said he spoke with many professors and students who did not want to testify for the bill because of their fear of reprisal, but one who did was Peter W. Wood, president of the conservative National Association of Scholars, who spoke on the need for this legislation. Wood cited "the effective prohibition of debate on contentious topics" and college authorities who "turn a blind eye to the bullying and shoutdowns that so often foreclose expression of disfavored views.” Cirino’s bill is a step in the right direction, writes Ted Diadiun in his column today.
