Title: Bullying on College Campuses
Topic: Bullying
Discussed by Sterling Burnett
with Heartland Institute (www.Heartland.org)

The hypocritical environmentalists just won’t quit. This time they’re going after college professors. Dr. Sterling Burnett is the current Managing Editor for the Environment and Climate News with the Heartland Institute.  He is here today to discuss a Congressman’s recent letter to seven university presidents demanding information concerning funding sources for certain researches at their university. The letter was an attempt to bully professors who dare to question Obama and his administration’s stance regarding man-caused global warming.

Dr. Burnett says Representative Raul Grijalva, a Democrat from Arizona, didn’t simply ask to view the records; he demanded them “as if he controls them and they have to obey his every wish”. Listen in as he details the information Grijalva demanded in his letter. How will this affect future studies? Will professors and scientists be wary of contradicting a US President or the environmental left concerning man-caused global warming?

Also revealed in this interview: Representative Raul Grijalva (the letter writer) received nearly $80,000 from environmental groups for his campaign. This is just the amount that has been discovered so far. Does this mean he is in bed with them? Dr. Burnett won’t go so far as to say that. However, he does point out, “Once you start casting stones, everyone’s glass house gets broken.

What Representative Grijalva is doing to these professors is nothing short of bullying on the playground. The difference is that he is messing with people’s lives – their livelihood – their careers. There is no excuse for this type of behavior. Period.

Dr. Sterling Burnett’s op-ed on this issue can be found [here].

So many people are afraid of offending homosexuals, but what about Christians who are bullied for standing up for their Biblical beliefs? GLAAD has been using bullying tactics for years to obtain sympathy and gain “rights”.

It’s time for Christians to stand up to their bullying and fight for what we know is right according to God’s word. Listen in as Dr. Michael Brown, author of A Queer Thing Happened to America, explains further.

with Dr. Michael Brown www.AskDrBrown.org

The word “queer” is not what most people call homosexuals anymore. Dr. Brown decided to use the word “queer” in the title of his new book for a specific reason.

He explains why and what he thinks will happen in America does not awake a new spiritual awakening.
