EXCERPT: Students at Portland State are not being taught to think, Rather, they are being trained to mimic the moral certainty of ideologues.  Faculty and administrators have abdicated the university's truth-seeking mission and instead drive intolerance of divergent beliefs and opinions.  This has created a culture of offense where students are not afraid to speak openly and honestly.
