The funny thing, of course, is that the Times publishes communist cartoonist Ted Rall's work, including his cartoon last week that poked fun at the very same report, "How to tell if your teacher is a leftist."
I've long become familiar with the left-wing response to evidence of left-wing bias and radicalization of major institutions: ridicule. Ted Rall's cartoon previews the Times editorial board's commentary on the report, "Little Evidence of UC Crisis."
I've been reading the report, "A Crisis of Competence: The Corrupting Effect of Political Activism in the University of California." It's basically like preaching to the choir in my case, but of course, I'm surrounded by progressive academics at my college. The Times editors find fault with the evidence of bias cited at the "Crisis of Competence" report. And in fact, it's indeed less quantification than inference from evidence. But folks only need to spend time on a campus these days to understand that entirely one-sided ideological environment.
