ISI: Antidote to Leftist Rot In Higher Education

We all know how leftist rot permiates and perpetuates itself at college campuses today. The left's thought-police are stifling a generation to explore critical, free, thinking. That is why I am mentioning how blessed and lucky we are to have the Intercollegiate Studies Institute, a conservative organization for college students and academics.

To quote them:

"The Intercollegiate Studies Institute (ISI) is a non-profit, non-partisan, tax-exempt educational organization whose purpose is to further in successive generations of college youth a better understanding of the values and institutions that sustain a free and humane society.

Founded in 1953, ISI works "to educate for liberty" — to identify the best and the brightest college students and to nurture in these future leaders the American ideal of ordered liberty. To accomplish this goal, ISI seeks to enhance the rising generation's knowledge of our nation's founding principles — limited government, individual liberty, personal responsibility, the rule of law, market economy, and moral norms.

A National Campus Presence Through its integrated program of lectures, conferences, publications, and fellowships, the Institute annually works with hundreds of thousands of students and faculty from coast to coast. An array of free publications and other resources is available to students and teachers."

This ideal is so rare. It needs to be fostered and nurtured. Visit ISI: http://www.isi.org/ .
