These philosophers and Ayn Rand are discussed in philosophy only for amusement.

I take it you are referring to universities. If so I'm not at all surprised. No wonder - most faculties, (especially philosophy) in most universities are filled with marxists, and they have a litmus test for new hires. They definitely do not want any diversity of thought.

I believe Mark Levin is trying to break that stranglehold in colorado by helping to pass a law that would change the hiring practices.

We should give him all the help we can.

What about Harvard's new policy of fee forgiveness to students' families under $40,000 and increased search for gifted students? Seems like this should gall the liberal profs and the Rawlsians since it is oriented toward the gifted rather than the minimal functionality line. This needs to be viewed as aid to the gifted student rather than aid to the poor family in order for this to be seen as properly upsetting.
