The ironic thing for me personally is that this good midwest family sent a sister to Boston to fight the good fight with only a Big Ten education. I've tried to lure her back to Chicago many times.
Some of the worst garbage spun by the Leftists in the Life Sciences at Harvard and Columbia is required reading for students in some State Universities. For example, a son of mine at one of our Ohio Universities was required to read a book by Gordon Allport on the nature of "prejudice." That fact prompted me to introduce Gordon Allport to Conservatives not acquainted with the man, as one of the examples in the essay, Myths & Myth Makers In American "Higher" Education.
To a one-worlder--and former Communist fellow-traveller--like Allport, family loyalty, religion and patriotism, were all "prejudices" that interfered with the enlightenment, he sought. Taxpayers should not be promoting his work, but without knowing it, they are.
