When did you attend college and where? I would have my serious doubts about most of the Liberal Arts universities of today teaching anything but anti-American Marxist tripe

Princeton, class of 2001. I made a point of choosing classes that I thought would cover the great works I wanted to study. I also made a point of studying with professors I knew to be good and actually interested in teaching. Of course, as critics point out, the Princeton course catalogue does contain some doozies such as "Race, class and engendering power" or other such tripe, but you don't have to take these classes. For every one of these, there's a "Bible in Western Cultural Tradition" class. Choose wisely, and you can get a good education.

Sure, some professors at some universities function as liberal thinktanks. But Horowitz likes to paint the world in black and white and take things to extremes. It's the same as when he was a radical leftist activist. He can do nothing halfway. Witness his ads in student papers and his glee at these papers being attacked.

Here's a piece I wrote on Horowitz while I was a student: http://www.dailyprincetonian.com/Content/2001/04/02/edits/497.shtml

I agree that one can get a good education if he or she chooses professors and classes wisely. I am a University of Arizona graduate, Aerospace Engineering, class of 1977. I have sadly watched as the U of A has slid from an institution of excellent academics reputation (all colleges) into a far left, politically correct institution that basically doesn't excel at anything except basketball and some science research.
