A University of Oregon journalist has written a provocative op-ed about the absence of Republican and right wing professors on American campuses. We all know the US college system is a bastion of liberalism but Dan Lawton has a valid point. American freedom of expression should be prevalent in all venues and especially on college campuses where the exchange of ideas is a cornerstone of rational thought. Colleges are the ideal location for young minds to have their biases and beliefs challenged. As a liberal,  taking a government class from a conservative would force you to think outside of your box. It is healthy. Mr. Lawton attends one of America’s most liberal universities in beautiful Eugene and his perspective is perfectly presented.
