Arizona Legislature Considers Bill to Destroy Higher Education in the State (Leiter)

Apparently some members of the legislature are jealous that Kansas is the laughing-stock of the Western World, and want to offer some competition:

College students in Arizona may be able to opt out of required reading assignments they consider personally offensive, under a bill approved on Wednesday by the State Senate's Higher Education Committee. The measure would allow students to decline assignments that "conflict with the student's beliefs or practices in sex, morality, or religion." Critics say the legislation is too broad and could undermine the integrity of courses.

Gee, perhaps the "critics" have a point.
