God and [Congress] Man at Duke: Rep. Walter Jones Leads the Fight against Liberal Bias on Campus, by John Plecnik

The issue of liberal bias on campus may seem trivial during an election year dominated by concerns of homeland security. However, September 11^th has taught us that in facing great challenge nothing can substitute for strong, moral leadership. Perhaps former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani put it best during his speech at the Republican National Convention. “On September 11, this city and our nation faced the worst attack in our history,” recounted Giuliani. “At the time, we believed we would be attacked many more times that day and in the days that followed. Spontaneously, I grabbed the arm of then Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik and said to Bernie, ‘Thank God George Bush is our President.’”

<>Thank God, indeed. But President Bush is only eligible to serve ‘4 more years.’ Though this generation has been blessed with Bush, will it produce such presidents? The future leaders of the free world are finding their causes on campus. They prepare for exams, not elections. While politicos debate on Fox News and CNN, they study and go to class. Ivory towers dictate their experience…if liberal bias prevails, who will take up the torch. The hearts and minds of our future hang in the balance.
