That was then. This is now. The ‘70s are long gone. I was in a hippy dippy open high school for a while, and then a genius school run by priests. The priests respected my Orthodox Jewish practices and faith, although they took strong issue with my refusal to study consistently or do homework. The hippies, kids who used to be my friends, were horrible. There was almost no homework or studying.
Yeah, after the 70s is about the time things started going ‘round the bend. I don’t think I would like to spend ten minutes in most of the universities we have now.
One experience from college always stands out in my mind. I had a leftist history professor. We had to write a review of a book. I knew she liked the book. I hated it, and ripped it to shreds. I got an A on the paper, and her note: “I don’t agree with you, but you did a great job in presenting your case.”
