Today’s “higher” education is a misnomer. I’ve never seen so many educated diots without a lick of sense..

America’s higher education ceased being high at about the same time the 60’s campus radical revolutionaries lit up their roaches and dropped their first acid cubes. The race for higher highs and lower lows was off and they never looked back. In fact, the bottom opened up and our society is now circling the drain.

It’s about time he turned his attention to the leftist meltdown.

What’s with this picking on Martha Stewart, anyway? In the same time frame as Martha Stewart, a rather ordinary-looking overweight black woman named Oprah became a billionaire media sensation. How did they “commodify” Oprah? A sane observer would conclude that America is the land of opportunity, but you can’t say that on a college campus, for it has been determined to be racist! /s

If this nonsense is confined to the faux ethnic and gender studies departments, that’s one thing. But if it spills over into schools of science and engineering, it is truly the end of higher education.

Her doctoral dissertation

It is a good thing...The Commodification of Femininity, Affluence, and Whiteness in the Martha Stewart Phenomenon.

It really is time to start laughing at these clowns, not the ones who write such a dissertation, but those who judge it "meaningful" and don't throw it in the trash with a laugh.

Listening to the Post whine is classic. Not many other newspapers did more to bring us to this state we are in now.

George Will used to be a conservative. Now he’s a Uniparty hack, willing to craft a concatenation of nonsense to further the interests of a corrupt, illiberal, movement to create a New World Order at the expense of US sovereignty, wealth, and security. He is no better than the CPUSA he nominally abhors.

Students on Columbia University's Multicultural Affairs Advisory Board suggested trigger warnings for persons who might be traumatized by reading, say, Ovid's "Metamorphoses," wherein some myths portray bad sexual behavior. But a feminist blog warned that the phrase "trigger warning" itself needs a warning attached to it because it might remind people of guns. But, then, the word "warning" might [substitute word for "trigger"] fright. So, today give thanks that 2015 has raised an important question about American higher education: What, exactly, is it higher than?

George Will at his best...

“I am much afraid that schools will prove to be the great gates of hell unless they diligently labor in explaining the Holy Scriptures, engraving them in the hearts of youth. I advise no one to place his child where the scriptures do not reign paramount.”

— Martin Luther
