There is a list of bogus “studies” programs which were developed across many campuses in the past 40+ years. “Studies” for Womyn, Afro-Americans, Chicano/a, “Ethnic” studies, “LGBTQ” studies etc. etc.

What they all have in common is a lot of bogus left-wing propaganda. You can’t be a professor in any of those fields without proving your left-wing credentials. Intellectual diversity be damned.

That is why a somewhat less extreme but still very liberal Larry Summers, as President of Harvard University, had to be excoriated and expelled when he challenged the execrable Cornel West to actually start doing some serious academic scholarship. Summers merely urged West to work on writing a book that would be worthy of his position as a “University Professor” (the highest rank for only 20 or so of the Harvard faculty of 1,000+). West had a meltdown at this “disrespect” (don’t you know this brotha is revered by Al Sharpton??) and the left purged Larry Summers to show what will happen to any university official who does not toe the line for all the bogus “studies” programs.

Expecting Cornel West to actually do the job he was being paid to do was only part of Summers' undoing. He tried to improve the lackluster School of Education at Harvard, too, again, meeting push-back.

But what sent the liberal arts faculty over brink was Summers saying that "there may be some biological differences between" the genders.

A woman biology researcher from MIT present at Summers talk, apparently an early Snowflake in academia, almost melted hearing Summers say that.

Paglia's common sense about some stuff isn't welcomed in "education".
