The year was 1966, and Ronald Reagan was running for governor of California. A major part of his platform was to “clean up the mess at Berkeley” and other college campuses across the state that were experiencing protests and strikes over issues that included the military draft, civil rights and women’s issues.
He faulted university administrators and faculty who “press their particular value judgments” on students, and for “a leadership gap and a morality and decency gap” on campus. Reagan suggested a code of conduct be imposed on faculty to “force them to serve as examples of good behavior and decency.” We need more of this kind of talk to counter the anarchists and hatred of Jews and Israel and support for terrorist organizations on today’s college campuses. Even more than talk, action is needed.
