As good a forum as any to say I don't mind hearing of college graduates having trouble finding jobs or having to pay back huge loans. If they are ignorant enough to sit through classes in ( )-Studies, having Western classics, or anything for that matter, deconstructed in the context of race/class/gender/sexual orientation and hatred of the patriarchy, if they never have a job paying more than minimum wage, it's not going to keep me awake at night. Places where "students" have huge demonstrations because something offended their tender sensibilities.

You realize of course that the 60's Marxist urban terrorist Angela Davis was a professor at the University of California (where else?), Santa Cruz, in its History Consciousness Department (you can just imagine what that course was like), and former director of the university's Feminist Studies (surprise, surprise) department. Create maybe one million clones of her and you have the faculties of probably the most prestigious public universities in the nation, including Harvard, Yale and Brown, to paraphrase a 20's song. Students and parents bellyache about huge debts, but what are the debts for? Being indoctrinated? How is that useful in life? Bill Ayers, although now retired, fits the bill perfectly.

There's actually too much choice for undergrads, esp. on the 100-200 level.

Frankly you get Liberal Arts grads, even in Literature, who have never read an Eternal Author: Aristotle, Voltaire, Homer, Smith, Marx, etc. Just Maya Fucking Angelou and a "Survey of 1970s Feminist Culture featuring Lavender Jane Loves Women".

The Alumni and State Governments need to reign this shit in.

having Western classics,

Most of them have never read one. If they did, quite a few would compare ee cummings to Virgil or Sappho and realize who is more eternal and important.

The sad thing is we've been telling liberals for a long time that their ideas are failing the society, and they need to go back to being more conservative and not just call everyone a racist upon disagreement. They never listened, and now we all get to live in society that is hell bent on ass backwards communist ideologies from which nations like USSR fell apart.

another excellent quote from that article:

Scott C. Johnston, who graduated from Yale in 1982, said he was on campus when activists tried to shut down a free speech conference, "because apparently they missed irony class that day."

Pathetic

They will suck every last drop of it out of that toothpaste tube. Why stop a winning formula?
It's going to take some making them stop.

I think in Germany when sensible people get the upper hand again. They will understand the 50's era McCarthyism.
And Liberalism will one day be a crime punishable by death. Less you want to be hauled off for prison for talking about foreign invading rapists, and live in a government that protects Rapist murders and arrest those that speak out against it. Liberalism, socialism and your general run of the mill Democrat will be a Criminal worldwide within 5 to 10 years. And the worst detriment to world peace at home and abroad.
