Taliban Man at Yale: University officials are embarrassed — but not embarrassed enough...

Are there no limits to how arrogant and out-of-touch America's Ivy League schools can get? Sayed Rahmatullah Hashemi, former deputy foreign secretary of the Taliban, a student at Yale while at the same time the school continues to block ROTC training from its campus and argues for the right of its law school to exclude military recruiters. King George's troops played the music to "The World Turned Upside Down" as they surrendered at Yorktown. Perhaps the Ivy League should adopt that tune as they surrender all vestiges of common sense.

Yale's decision to admit Mr. Rahmatullah is particularly jarring given constant reminders of the Taliban's crimes — both past and present. as President Bush visited Afghanistan, its TV news aired fresh footage of beheaded bodies being paraded through a street. The men had been murdered because they opposed local Taliban and al Qaeda terrorists.

It's been more than half a century since William F. Buckley mocked the wooly-headed thinking he found at his alma mater in "G-d and Man at Yale." Now we have Mr. Taliban Man at Yale. If that doesn't cry out for mockery, nothing does

Does anyone want to bring up the ChiCom Man at nearly all American Universities? The Chinese have infested American instructions like a plague.

The Ivies are the root of the elites in American government, media, and other areas.

These “elites” have shown themselves for many, many years to be completely out of touch with reality, and the results speak for themselves, loudly, with events in Afghanistan.

It’s long past time to reject Ivy League elitism in government.

nothing new, they have been educating our enemies for over 100 years:

Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, who led the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941, was a special student at Harvard from 1919 to 1921.
