My daughter had to take a intro poly sci this term to complete her degree requirements; I thought it might be interesting, as she went through the course, to discuss some of the basics of Aristotle’s Politics vs. Plato’s Republic etc. No such luck: her teacher (adjunct, middle aged woman of color) spends each weekly session beating one lame idea to death—this past week it was the canard that people who are pro-life should be against the death penalty. Daughter has learned more from 15 minutes with Dad than she will in 48 hours with this lady. The one gratifying piece of information is that it seems the majority of the class recognizes the lameness of the course; we may have a future yet.

Did your daughter ask her what about those who believe in abortion? Do they believe in the death penalty?

academia is where non-productive, left-wing parasites go to hide, survive and breed.
