I’m just now reading Heather MacDonald’s The Burden of Bad Ideas: How Modern Intellectuals Misshape Our Society. The sources of this idiocy, according to MacDonald are the Charitable Foundations dedicated to revolutionary change in the culture. They are pouring money on the universities and spurring on all the programs that won’t pass the common sense “smell” test. Tom Wolfe calls these people the Charming Aristocracy. God help us.
Great column, Mary, as usual.
