Why would someone who held those beliefs go into those fields? To me, it shows that gender and minority studies are political entities that shouldn't exist. I know their academic contemporaries secretly think so. They exist as vehicles to give degrees to people who couldn't cut it at the colleges they are attending if they did not exist. Fat chance of getting rid of them, though. The only entity taking on the University educational disaster in a direct way is Horowitz over at "Front Page." I considered him too extreme three years ago, but not anymore.

Because they're interesting? Deal with stuff that hasn't been studied before? Don't want to leave it all for the marxists? If you disapprove of affirmative action, forget pursuing a degree in African-American studies. If you think that the nuclear family proves the best unit of social well-being, stay away from women's studies." Dumb statement. Why would someone who held those beliefs go into those fields?
