Student protests against the presence of military recruiters at colleges and community colleges are on the rise. So are angry--sometimes violent--reactions from conservative students and campus police. Read Ryan Grim's report on the turbulence roiling campuses nationwide.

Understanding the Aims of the Theocratic Right--Oct. 21/22
Today, the religious right is more powerful than ever. Yet few people outside the Bible Belt understand the movement's deeper aims and objectives. This pioneering seminar will explore the uncharted territory of what happens when current events are conflated with biblical prophecy and the world is seen as an arena for the ultimate struggle between God and Satan. How this framework is currently informing US policy, both at home and overseas, will be discussed by the expert panel featuring Nation writers Chris Hedges and Esther Kaplan along with Chip Berlet. Michael Northcott and Frederick Clarkson. Staged by the Open Center in NYC at the CUNY Graduate Center on October 21 and 22. Co-sponsored by The Nation.
