10 Academic Non-Sequiters

Nobody can miss the point like a well-paid, federally subsidized scholar. Here are ten who tried and failed again in 2010:

1. An academic who believes that Social Security is sound;

2. Professors who still believe that the woes that afflict higher education can be solved through federal intervention;

3. A BC sociologist who sees the major problem in the Middle East as—Israel;

4. A Central Florida political scientist who can’t believe people would think President Clinton was left-wing;

5. A Berkeley prof bemoaning phantom budget cuts;

6. A Yale economist who compares global warming skeptics to Hitler-appeasing Neville Chamberlain;

7. A Notre Dame philosopher who tried to sell libertarians on welfare rights;

8. Back to Berkeley to find a lawyer who can’t understand why Americans like Red Lobster;

9. A University of Arizona prof showed the value of reading by not perusing her state’s new immigration law before denouncing it; and

10. A Lynchburg College art professor who worked Stalin into a D-Day sculpture even though old Joe was nowhere near Omaha Beach.

Malcolm A. Kline is the Executive Director of Accuracy in Academia.

I dunno about a non-sequitor, but isn't the very phrase “Accuracy in Academia” a misnomer, an oxymoron?

Copy and paste of titles is a good way to avoid embarrassing onself with such an unfortunate mistake.

Of all the things that liberals talk about needing ‘reform’, academics is one that is not on their list but that truly needs major reform.
