Not at all. The situation is far, far worse now. Universities are now simply engines for indoctrination. Witness how many people who are now denied the right to speak, to address groups due to their beliefs which run contrary to the "groupthink" that passes for discussion these days. Universities were/are supposed to be places that challenge, that encourage thought and debate. How does that occur when only people of the "left" are allowed to speak? Everyone agreeing with each other is NOT learning. It advances nothing. People simply join together to shout down dissenting voices.
Eric Arthur Blair was right. His "1984" is becoming more and more prophetic. This particular thread goes some way towards proving it.

Maybe the Brisbane unis haven't caught up to the Melbourne unis yet.
There was some discussion on this in the media and amongst friends and colleagues some time ago. It's even in primary schools, an area I have had some experience in. It appears that people expressing their views in a forum are now shouted down by people with an opposing view.
I wont post it up as it will be political.
