But, but, if we promoted ideological diversity (we can imagine the author whining), that would mean promoting people who obviously don't deserve it. We'd be giving conservatives something they couldn't earn on their own - that's not fair, is it?
Maybe we should cast ideological diversity in terms of affirmative action, just to watch them all tap-dance furiously...
Of course, getting back to what the leftist here originally wrote, I think anyone with a half would brain should realize that things are exactly the OPPOSITE of what he claims, re: "marketplace of ideas."
The simple fact of the matter is that the liberal beliefs have failed in the real world where the marketplace of ideas actually exists. Nobody can put them into place anywhere by academia and not starve.
So these leftists, possessing neither marketable skills OR ideas, gravitate toward the one safe haven: academia.
And the "City of Evil."
