Right Wing Christian Fundamentalists should celebrate the incursions of post-modernist kookiness onto Ivy League campuses. To paraphrase a New York expression, "Whaddya done for me lately??" Are we sending our kids to these marxist breeding grounds for the next generation of the Communist International?? I certainly hope not. Hopefully, we're sending our kids to Capitalist/Theonomist schools like Christ College (the President of which was my Poli-Sci instructor, once upon a time). So how does this kind of "eye-of-newt" foolishness harm us, on the Christian Right? Answer: it doesn't. They were stealing our tax dollars for the subsidization of socialist indoctrination; now they'll be stealing our tax dollars for socialist indoctrination and wicca festivals, fer cryin' out loud. A few more parents will (hopefully) get fed up with this kookiness and pull their tuition-paying kids right out of these Ivory Tower bastions of Liberalism. Another reduction in the economic demand for tweedy marxist professors who would otherwise have to get a real job.
When the Leftist-dominated Ivy League traipses happily down the donnybrook trail of institutional self-destruction, why should right-wing Christian Fundamentalists care? And to the extent that we do care, why should we not hoist a beer (grape juice for our Southern Baptist brethren) and celebrate another small victory??
"Cess-pool of Leftist 'higher' educational Marxism embarasses itself to all concerned parents by endorsing rank silliness for purposes of 'religious diversity'. Christians... complain??"
Nah. No complaints here. Let the Left abort half their children and teach the other half to entertain whatever fool idea pierces their MTV-fogged brains. Meanwhile, the extreme Christian right (Orthodox Presbyterians and Calvinist Baptists) will continue to turn to homsechooling in ever-increasing numbers, where children are taught the important things: how to read the Bible, how to read the Constitution, and how to field-strip a semi-automatic rifle. Fast-forward two generations and let the chips fall where they may.
Never read Robert Anton Wilson (to my knowledge). Lovecraft consumed many an hour when I was 13-14, though. The last massive fiction serial I read was David Wingrove's 7-book Chung Kuo series. Critically reviewed as "a combination of all the best parts of Dune, Taipan/Noble House, and the Foundation trilogy... yet exceeding them all. Perhaps the definitive sci-fi masterwork of all time." Highly recommended.
