Here is an article on racism by Richard D. Lamm that the University of Denver refused to publish due to its controversial content.

I suggest that those groups whose culture and values stress delayed gratification, education, hard work, success and ambition are those groups that succeed in America regardless of discrimination. I further suggest that, even if discrimination was removed, other groups would still have massive problems until they develop the traits that lead to success.

A shocking notion. Holding a culture or even more disturbing, an individual human being, responsible for their own behavior...

We must not let our sensitive college students read such heresy!

Democracy best not left to the people.

Alicia Romac of the pro-cap group Citizens for a Greater Bennington said she wished the decision had been left up to elected officials. "It's special interests interfering with what's best for the community process, and I don't think that's really the best way to run a government," she said.
