House urges end to liberal bias on Pennsylvania campuses

The right's view of "bias" is anything that criticizes America. Their idea of fair and balanced is inflicting their partisan view on everyone. The idea of making college classrooms "patriotic" is scary. I don't quite understand Rep Cohen's comment. Perhaps it was taken out of context?

House urges end to liberal bias on Pennsylvania campuses: "The group plans to distribute a book called 'Unpatriotic University,' which tells readers that colleges are full of 'anti-American rhetoric, and [shut out] conservative points of view both in classrooms and on speakers' platforms.'

Much of the Pennsylvania bill was borrowed from the Horowitz group's 'academic bill of rights.'

Rep. Mark Cohen, D-Philadelphia, referred to the Horowitz group and said the resolution is just 'an attempt to respond to a national movement. ... We're just trying to fall in line.'"

If you go to "asmokedfilledroom," youi'll see that Mark made it clear that he was opposed to the resolution. I think that was maybe your confusion?
