George Yancey is Professor of Sociology at the University of North Texas. His books include What Motivates Cultural Progressives?: Understanding Opposition to the Political and Christian Right.

Yancey issues a clarion call to those of us in higher education that we must do a better job practicing the political tolerance that we so vigorously preach. -- Marie A Eisenstein, author of "Religion & the Politics of Tolerance: How Christianity Builds Democracy"
