Glad that guy is not teaching my kid.

The longer I go at this gathering of news, the more I am convinced that the biggest cancer in our country is our non-scientific academic elite. The opposition to it is completely ineffectual, and the Pols who understand the problem can't get at them or change the hiring procedures to bring in any different viewpoints.

The only one out there tilting at this academic windmill with any consistency is Horowitz of "Frontpage." He fully understands the problem. But he is very combative, and is easy to smear.

It's not the education of the college kids that gets to me as much as their input into our intellectual life. What they think, the media pushes. The vast majority of these people are Chomskyites who believe the USA is the root of all evil. These are the real villains in our debate over how to handle the radical Salafi Jihadists.
