From NYM: The moral bankruptcy of academia

"As the controversies at Yale, Duke and Harvard captured national attention, professors from other universities haven’t had much to say in defense of liberty of thought and discussion either. This silence represents a collective failure of America’s professors of colossal proportions. What could be a clearer sign of our professors’ loss of understanding of the requirements of liberal education than their failure to defend liberty of thought and discussion where it touches them most directly?"

He gives three examples and then says: "This silence represents a collective failure of America's professors of colossal proportions."

B. What would you say to an opposing lawyer in court if he said that with grave moral rectitude?

From No Left Turns: On college admissions.

That was from 1997. 12 years ago. I did a search on 'current humans not suitable for our colleges and universities' and it turns out the top 25 Ivy League and close-to-Ivy-League universities had no less than 10% of their student body present and accounted for via Pell Grants. Harvard - 13%.

My question to you for both articles is: So? ... And, are you going to home-college your offspring to prevent defilement by lowlifes and those slanty-eyed people? I mean, it's a danged shame a body can't go anywheres without a lowlife loser nearby. "Sheesh" is all I haveta say.
