#1 Technically I am against such a ban. Academia is just the place where such discussions should take place as long as there is level playing field and both sides are presented. I dont think that a math teacher needs to opine his/her personal view on the GWOT in order to teach math. But there is a place and time for everything. I went to many colleges and I count on one hand the number of instructors that I could pin down their political leanings. Today it seems that Academia has to declare their politics first and then teach the subject. To warp a phrase from Laura Inghram Shut up and teach.

#3 I think the problem they're addressing here is also one of the bands of fascisti running around under the banners of political parties, beating up people who don't agree with them. It's not quite as pronounced as the problems at good olde P.U., but then, things in Punjab are always more pronounced. Instead of actually going to classes, they're striking, demonstrating, staging processions, obstructing traffic, and having fistfights.
