They call it “Conservatism 101,” a course on modern conservative thought and voices. And every time it arrives at a campus, it’s news.

The latest venue: Brown University. Conservative students asked for it. Now it’s on, with a reading list that includes Robert Bork, Ayn Rand, Milton Freedman, Charles Krauthammer.

For years, conservatives have complained that American universities don’t welcome their perspective. So what happens when their “101” shows up? Is it a bombshell? A bridge? An agenda? No big deal?

This hour On Point: Conservatism 101 goes to school.
