This week's smallest violin award goes to the extremist-dominated Ohio Senate. In an attempt to coddle the feeble-minded and College Republican alike, four of your Republican Ohio senators are beginning to promote a conservative students' bill of rights that will essentially gag professors in their own classrooms. The new legislation, in the vein of most Republican divertive drivel, seeks to address a problem that doesn't exist. It seeks to put caps -yes, you read right -on what professors can say in state university classes. It also seeks to create a grievance system (go ahead, wipe your tears away -I'll wait) for students who feel their mean old sissy liberal professors have discriminated against them. Oh, sob, sob, sob. My far right friends, here are four big government Republicans making it so you don't need to raise your hand and debate professors anymore. Heck, you don't even need to drop the class because the professor is a jerk who grades based on your beliefs. Now, you can just have them fired for thinking the wrong thoughts. Now that's progress!
