For a vivid example of how American colleges promote “narrative” over fact, look at the recent gang rape hoax at Duke University. Remember all those pot-bangers demanding that the lacrosse players, who were eventually cleared, be expelled or even castrated? Remember the Duke professors who said they didn’t want the accused players in their classes? Remember all the televised talking heads who broadcast commentary as though the accused had already been convicted? Today, they are no more apologetic about abusing wrongfully accused men than Tawana Brawley or Al Sharpton. If failure to teach critical thinking is a problem in secondary schools, today’s colleges aren’t interested in curing that.
