"Progressive" Mind Control Takes on Conservative Teacher

The Seattle Times reports:

Ed Swan considers himself a basic social conservative, opposed to gay marriage, affirmative action and the notion that affluent white men are responsible for a lot of social injustice.

The Washington State University student also opposes abortion and wrote "diversity is perversity" in the margins of a textbook.

Swan's attitude prompted his professors in the WSU College of Education to order him into diversity training, and almost caused Swan, 42, to be kicked out of the teacher-training program.

He fought back by contacting the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, a Philadelphia-based group that battles political correctness at universities.

"They want liberals out there teaching kids," Swan complained about the College of Education. "To me, it seems mainstream opinions got me in trouble."

Officials for the university say they are taking a fresh look at the criteria used to determine whether prospective teachers are fit to lead a classroom full of children.
