Just as, in the
past, they hired a "token black" to keep people from thinking they
were racist, now at least one VERY liberal school is "seeking": a
"conservative professor" for its staff. There are many universities
that are VERY liberal, but none more so than CU. Their search for a
"conservative professor" tells me that this is simply a PR stunt. If
they REALLY wanted one, they know where to look. Look in their files they keep
on people they consider "kooks." You know, the ones they've refused
to hire for many years because of their views. People like Thomas Sowell or Walter E. Williams. But
they would never hire Sowell or Williams because they couldn't "control" him.
They're looking for someone who is "barely" conservative would do and
say what they tell him, while they CLAIMED he was a conservative. (Bud
