TEACH IN AT ST. OLAF
My friend and colleague, Scott Johnson, caused quite a stir today at St. Olaf College. Read about it here. What does this have to do with the ideological imbalance in continuing legal education courses? I'm glad you asked. It seems that there is an ideological imbalance at the Nobel Peace Conference, too. Perhaps they will start a weblog entitled "Nobel Peace 49 to 1." If the conference organizers were smart, they would have welcomed the conservative alternative with open arms. Then they could have claimed (falsely) that the conference was ideologically balanced.
The controversy at St. Olaf illustrates one point I have been asserting. The presence of a single conservative alternative does not mean that a set of course offerings is ideologically balanced.
