"A stench of orthodoxy spreads across the American campus"

And it smells likefreedom.

— If “freedom” smelled of rank, rotted fart, I mean. Otherwise? It just smells like rank, rotted fartish orthodoxy.

“The philosophy of the classroom in one generation will be the philosophy of government in the next”. My man Abe Lincoln said that. Too bad only the socialists have truly taken it to heart.

  1. To be fair, they also do idiocy.

    I mean, it’s not like there isn’t a choice.

    Dude! The drivel contained in the exam that professor Williams cites is astounding. But, it sounds like you’re mainstream kind of post-modern, long-march-through-the-institutions fare. Heck, I’ll bet it’s based on some of Billy Ayer’s stuff, if only in a derivative fashion. And, of course, given the “gravitas” of being 100% correct “college coursework” means that, although of no real educational value, it is credential approved…

    This bullcrap should be added to their phony-baloney “matrix of domination”…

    How does one keep a fart so that it can rot? I’ve been told glass bottles are out because they don’t let the fart breathe, but others have told me that if the fart can breathe it can also escape and kill people.

    Or maybe they weren’t talking about farts. Maybe they were talking about Charles Manson.

    So, how ’bout that lovely Angry Studies prof that Insty linked earlier? I’m so glad that the exemplars of nuanced thinking are around to explain to us that our use of “their” language is completely unacceptable. What I wouldn’t give to see Prof Lewin go head-to-head with Jeff for an hour regarding ownership of language and the use of arbitrary rules to tilt the rhetorical playing field. We could put it on Pay-Per-View!

    (Personally, I thought that the Animal Rights BBQ sounded like a pretty good time.)

    Looking on the bright side, when the revolution does happen it should be pretty easy to outsmart the enemy.

    I thought the idea of school was to be lectured to by someone who understands the subject. Dr. Ellen seems a bit confused by her own admission, wouldn’t you say?

    To her credit, the good professor has brought more publicity to the College Republicans than they could have dreamed of. I hope they’re enjoying a very successful Coming Out Week.

    Re: Dr. Ellen’s bio – what a profoundly useless person. “B Ark” material, to be sure.

    I think the telephone sanitizers would have kicked her out an airlock before they broke orbit from Golgafrinch Prime.
