Over at the
New Criterion, Alan Charles Kors shares his dream of what he'd like to see slapped on page one of every university catalogue if academia were required to conform to the Trades Descriptions Act:
This University believes that your sons and daughters are the racist, sexist, homophobic, Eurocentric progeny or victims of an oppressive society from which most of them receive unjust privilege. In return for tuition and massive taxpayer subsidy, we shall assign rights on a compensatory basis and undertake by coercion their moral and political enlightenment.
Having done my share of years teaching university, I predict that this will happen on the day the bacon flies onto my breakfast plate unaided.
