Partisan politics has no place in the classroom.

If you put your politicians up for sale, as the US does (alone in this among industrialized democracies), then someone will buy them--and it won’t be you; you can’t afford them.

Mr. Bush, I don't recognize the world you paint. I find your speech a form of sheer propaganda, having almost no relationship to reality. ...You can't 'stay the course' because you don't have a course.

Partisan politics has no place in the classroom.

I think it's really unfortunate that academics have been sidelined in most important policy debates.

I also argued before the war that the administration was underestimating Arab nationalism and Iraqi nationalism, that it was not going to be as easy to rule Iraq as they thought.

I don't accept the argument of people like David Horowitz that the government should impose some sort of predetermined political balance on academic research.
