Easy 100 bucks

As noted by Tom Tomorrow, idiot conservatives are apparently offering $100 to UCLA students if students rat out their professors as being 'radical', which probably translates as meaning a professor mentioning something about Bush being a moron.

UCLA Alumni Group Is Tracking 'Radical' Faculty - Los Angeles Times
A fledgling alumni group headed by a former campus Republican leader is offering students payments of up to $100 per class to provide information on instructors who are “abusive, one-sided or off-topic” in advocating political ideologies.

The year-old Bruin Alumni Assn. says its “Exposing UCLA's Radical Professors” initiative takes aim at faculty “actively proselytizing their extreme views in the classroom, whether or not the commentary is relevant to the class topic.” ...it has named an initial “Dirty 30” of teachers it identifies with left-wing or liberal causes.

Oh, I wish I was in school again: I would report every professor I ever had, especially the right-winger ones. Why not? If the Bruin Alumni gets inundated with so many reports, phoney or not, that it cannot even process them all, perhaps this inane idea will die a quick, painful death.

Update, Tom is on the case:
The Young Republican who’s running a witch hunt to expose the rampant liberalism of the UCLA faculty has a website, here. His email address is bruinalumni@bruinalumni.com
