I went to Duke from 1975 to 1984 receiving three degrees along the way. Terry Sanford handed me my Ph.D. diploma and then retired the next day. Terry Sanford put Duke on the map.

Now? Terry Sanford weeps and I continue to be ashamed of my alma mater. Was already concerned and then, in 2006, the university bought into the false accusation of a local black ho Crystal Gail Mangum and screwed over the lacrosse team and its coach. Just like so many times since, including today in Minneapolis, the narrative was set from the beginning and "It's not about the Truth"

I have three diplomas on my wall and Duke is dead to me.

BTW, for those who may have missed it, they made Mangum out to be a saint. Just like Floyd and Martin, etc. She's now in jail for the murder of a subsequent "boyfriend".

My oldest daughter is a recent Duke grad. She hated it, particularly the last two years. You wouldn’t believe some of the crazy antics she had to endure and she was in Pratt. I guess what goes on at Trinity can only be described as insane.

Our other daughter is at Notre Dame (like her mom & dad) and not having a great time either although it’s - surprisingly - not quite as crazy as Duke. I think this is just a horrible moment of time to go to college generally, but it seems to be worse at blue-chip schools. The Ivies? Just forget about it.

Maybe all things considered, some place like Hillsdale would be better presuming you’re not working towards a science or engineering degree.

Duke should be required to post a 100,000,000.00 bond if it is going to require students to take an experimental vaccine.
