Florida to monitor university political views

"...the cards are stacked in the education system, toward the left and toward the liberal ideology and also secularism — and those were not the values that our country was founded on. Those are the values that we need to get our country back to." -- lobbyist Barney Bishop. [Source]
What Bishop gets wrong is that liberal ideology and secularism are EXACLTY what this country was founded on. That's what "separation of church and state" and "all men are created equal" were about.

True, there were compromises from the outset, but American liberalism represented a radical departure from European orthodoxy. Bishop's talk about "the values we need to get our country back to" sounds great, but it's 180 degrees wrong.
