@Much2learn As an example, here are a list of some issues where I think it would be desirable to have actual conservatives articulate their positions and engage in debate: immigration reform, election integrity, school choice, gun control, criminal justice reform, health care reform, defense, terrorism, cybersecurity, global politics, energy and environmental protection. Again, there is a big difference between a professor saying here’s my version of the conservative view and having an actual conservative there to defend his or her position. Several people on this thread want to focus on the fringe. I don’t think anyone is advocating for recruiting professors to teach creationism or advocate for white supremacy. I think the goal being described in the OP’s article is bring more conservatives onto the campus to engage in the core issues of the day.
