I found this interesting-—and with all of the new “residents” it will only get worse.

Like this is something new. In the fall of 1980, I took my senior seminar in "Comparative Political Systems" at Indiana University. It should have been called "Soviet Communism Here and Now," as the professor spent the class touting "workers controlling the means of production" and other BS. He'd obviously never worked a day outside academia. I was working my way through college doing commercial construction, and I knew what would happen if you tried to turn he "means of production" over to the guys I worked with.

I wish I'd had the balls to agree with the professor, advocate turning the "means of production" of grades over to the students, voting ourselves A+ grades, and ending the farce of a class.

Now, 35 years later, I realize too many of my colleagues bought into it and they hold high political office in both parties.

I wonder if the psycho academic Amy Bishop is mentioned in the P&P class?
