I worked with some friends on a volunteer project a few years back. It was a summer project where we helped a local middle school get some minor paint and fix-up projects done.

In one project we were painting some classrooms and their adjoining hallway.

The walls of the hallway, at about the level of the tops of the classroom doors, were (in addition to the general painting) being decorated with some famous poems.

A few of the words of one poem were changed because they mentioned guns. I commented to the project leader that it was a wrong and a dumb thing to do. They did not seem to have any care or concern for intellectual honesty. I was disgusted.

Strike another victory for the Orwellian leaders of academia.

You had paint, a ladder, and yet you did nothing. That's why we're losing.
