NO CODE: Terry Eastland of

NO CODE: Terry Eastland of the Weekly Standard reports that an official at the Office of Civil Rights at the Bush Education Department has sent a letter asking that universities stop using "civil rights" as a justification for the Orwellian, First Amendment-bashing speech codes that so many of them have adopted in recent years.
It's about time, I say- if we can't prevent crazy professors from espousing their bearing-little-relation-to-reality theories, something should at least be done about a system in which someone can be threatened with expulsion for calling someone a "water buffalo."
