Don't forget the part where he implies that these kids are only automaton mouthpieces for the eeeeevil right wing.

Also, and I mean no offense, but when did Bucknell become an "elite" college? Maybe it's my West Coast ignorance kicking in.

Bucknell is basically a small liberal arts and engineering college for suburban east-coast kids who don't get accepted by an ivy-league school. The student body is about as homogenous as you can get (or at least it was in the mid-80's when I graduated). The faculty, however, is just to the left of Chairman Mao. So you get this weird dynamic where the children of conservative bankers, lawyers and doctors make themselves feel good about themselves by attending multiculturalism rallies, sporting Sandinista T-shirts and speculating about when Capitalism (always capitalized) will inevitably come crashing down. During my time there, I was called a "Nazi", a "fascist," "Hitler-youth member" and a "right-wing fanatic" - - and that was by my professors. So much for opening young minds.

Yeah, Bucknell is elite. Ivy League. I'm a blue collar guy, lived in central Pa my whole life, and Bucknell was always the place in the backyard that no one here could afford to go to. That's why it's really refreshing to see this story coming out of this place......
