On an Illiberal Education

. . .The Wall Street Journal editorial (April 20) commented on Reed College’s capitulation to student “bullies,” as it called them:  “This (campus protest) is about blocking the study of core texts of Western Civilization.  That Reed College would agree to this, and, especially under political pressure, is an insult to the meaning of a liberal arts degree”. . .

The Dark Secret of Saint Mary’s College

. . .a troubling exchange between two professors at my university, St. Mary’s College of California.  One professor mentioned a student who advocated Nazi eugenics as a viable social solution for America.  The other, unsurprised, said he regularly receives essays on race & gender theories championed by the alt-right. . .
