Boone is an island of ASU academic groupthink surrounded by a sea of sane mountain folks.

on the subject, last week I vsited Hot Springs NC. It too is an interface for the sane and insane
there were bumper stickers pasted up all over “no frackin’ way”
hence, my new tag line
I was hoping that the sanity of the community might have a greater effect on the university. Nope. I looked at their website — their mission is to create “global citizens” and they have the usual useless “studies” coursework, including classes on body image and queer icons. I have a son who is off to college in two years. We’re going to have to be very careful about where he goes. I miss my college days in the ‘70’s: a faculty full of old-fashioned liberals and a handful of communists, but real academic and personal freedom on campus. And very few wacky students.
