| Description | On the Web site of an unofficial alumni organization at the University of California, Los Angeles, there are profiles "exposing" the university's "most radical professors" who "actively proselytize their extreme views in the classroom." These professors are described as "brainless" and are berated for never having left the "fantasy world of college."
In the face of legal action by UCLA, the Web site recently dropped its offer of a $100 bounty to any student who provided evidence of a professor's liberal bias. The Web site is one example of professors being attacked for their purported beliefs. There are other disturbing examples today and throughout history.
In Colorado and Indiana, as a result of widely publicized student allegations of left-wing bias in the classroom, several professors have received hate mail and at least one received a death threat. The number of organizations across America whose purpose is to monitor professors has been growing, and they each employ similar scare tactics.
