and my goodness---ask how many times ann coulter or other conservative speakers have been chased off campus, shouted down/not allowed to speak, or had things thrown at them?
An why are they shouted down/chased out? They state stuff that is totally bogus. They would have you and I believe a total lie, when the evidence is found through an internet search on a smartphone. Many college students, have access to these devices. Do you like being lied to your face? Neither do those college students. When the evidence is found within one minute that Ann Coulter and others are full of shit; they are taken to task for it. Just like.....ANYONE...else on a campus that stated something stupid or untruthful. These people, if they don't realize they are on at location of 'higher learning' and not 'billy bob's farm ranch in Iowa', their idiots to begin! Why are people like Bill Clinton and Bill Nye cheered at? You could argue that they are both liberal. But yet, conservatives in the audience are ALSO cheering them. Its because these two individuals, like others, understand their audience is not a 'pack of high school drop outs', but young people whom are intelligent and have some college time under their belt already.

did you all hear the news about uc Irvine getting (i think) ~1200 people (and about 60 faculty) to sign a petition banning the American flag from certain areas on campus.
I did hear about it. Thought it was silly. Knew it would not hold up in a 1st amendment court case if it did pass. Fortunately it did not pass. The question would be, what was the problem that created the need to sign a petition?
I had no problem with those that wish to fly the confederate flag. I viewed those as still 'rebelling' from their parents. A normal human behavior. I myself had a good cloth American flag properly hung up on my wall. I knew students that had different flags of different nations. I even knew some that had fantasy and sci-fi flags.

if anyone actually believes campuses are not "liberal bastions", they are severely deluded.
Here are some conservative schools.
If you are searching for conservative schools, they can be found. I know of one, Pensacola Christian College.
You are against those 'liberal bastions', but yet, do not even know what your talking about. The definition of liberal:
1. favorable to progress or reform, as in political or religious affairs.
2. (often initial capital letter) noting or pertaining to a political party advocating measures of progressive political reform.
3. of, pertaining to, based on, or advocating liberalism, especially the freedom of the individual and governmental guarantees of individual rights and liberties.
4. favorable to or in accord with concepts of maximum individual freedom possible, especially as guaranteed by law and secured by governmental protection of civil liberties.
5. favoring or permitting freedom of action, especially with respect to matters of personal belief or expression:
a liberal policy toward dissident artists and writers.
6. of or relating to representational forms of government rather than aristocracies and monarchies.
7. free from prejudice or bigotry; tolerant:
The root of the word, Liberalis, is Latin for 'Freedom', 'Of Freedom', the 'process of being free'.
So if I understand you right, your against people being free to learn things......
