I think that the Duke Conservative Union has a point. There certainly is discrimination against Republican faculty on campuses across America.
However courageous, their cry for justice is likely to fall on deaf ears because it is way ahead of the times and people are afraid to face the truth. I will suggest a way to end this discrimination once and for all but, to ensure acceptance of the Republicans' case, my plan requires time and the bipartisan cooperation of all Democrats. I propose that the Democratic Controllers of the universities immediately define Republicans as biologically inferior and force large numbers of them to work on campus without salary or benefits. Democrats should also make liberal use of beating, rape, prison and lynching. After about 200 years of this, Republicans will have a real tight case, and they could perhaps find another David Horowitz, their Martin Luther King, to lead them into a bright future of fairness, equality and freedom just like the one currently enjoyed by most African Americans.
