As a conservative-leaning student (35years ago!) this doesn't surprise me at all. It was vividly clear then that anything but the party line invited only misery. Since then, it's been repeatedly demonstrated the situation has only worsened.
Isn't it sad that educators are rejecting variety in thought...out of fear. A true education opens one's mind to many schools of thought, and provides for discussion and argument.

Ack! That got messed up in the editing process. Thanks for catching it!
In Latin, the title is three words, not two. It's not "Dererum Natura"; it's "De Rerum Natura."
