" They don&amp;#039;t miss a trick. A state Senate panel approved a measure Thursday banning courses at public universities that promote or discourage organizing efforts. It&amp;#039;s a reaction to MSU&amp;#039;s recent decision to take over some programs from the National Labor College. Republicans say those courses violate the proposed rule. &amp;quot;I believe in academic freedom, and you&amp;#039;re going to have difficult subjects that you&amp;#039;re going to cover at any university,&amp;quot; said state Rep. Al Pscholka, R-Stevensville, who chairs the panel that directs higher education funding in the House. &amp;quot;But this is a case where I think we&amp;#039;re almost encouraging labor disputes, and I don&amp;#039;t think that&amp;#039;s appropriate.&amp;quot; I don&amp;#039;t even want to think about courses in, say, Alabama that deal with slavery and the causes of the War Of Northern Aggression.
