The Tea Party shows up in semi-higher education, at least per Inside Higher Education.
The thing I found interesting was local communities voting for their local community college (junior college) school boards.
Hat tip to the Instapundit.

More local involvement in local affairs just HAS to be a good thing. It won't be right all the time, but that is what progress allows for. For years we've decried the "silent majority" and now that via the Tea Party movement and other awakening public expression groups, we are finding the majority not so silent. It would be wrong to criticize that change in societal direction. Rather, we need to find ways to fertilize those grass roots and otherwise encourage them to flourish. It is what America is based on.
ReplyDeleteI find it exciting...encouraging...stimulating.....people will have to think carefully about their beliefs...because others will have differing ones and are much more free to express them. Out of it all HAS to come progress.....evolution......
