If you play around on the NAS website for just a few minutes it’s easy to unveil this group’s real goal: bringing the conservative agenda to college campuses to target multi-culturalism, affirmative action and further the ultimate agenda of a “free market”-based society.  As always, FOLLOW THE MONEY.  

The NAS is funded by such conservative heavyweights as:  Sarah Scaife Foundation, Koch Foundation and the John Olin Foundation.  The article cites an education-focused website, “Minding The Campus,” which loosely claims that students have complained about their too-radical professors.  

Keep in mind that “Minding The Campus” is a subset of the Manhattan Institute, a conservative think tank that relishes the supply-side economics paradigm of deprivation for most and riches for a few.  This study is not a case of unbiased research and the Guardian should have done a little of its own to bring its readers a truer picture of the backstory behind this “study.”
