Dr. Kors says that he found a remarkable change in the universities between the early and late 60′s. Open bigotry, racism, and intimidation were practiced at the beginning of the decade – but not by its end.

But upon reflection, after looking at his arguments, you see that in fact the negative aspects were not eliminated, but rather both transformed and expanded. And like all bureaucracies, they never know when to stop.

The idea that college professors today assume falsely that the students have had 12 plus grades of American Triumphilism of which they must be shorn rings true. On entering college in 1970 I took the exemption exams and received 6 credits of American History without ever taking a class. Of course, I also was one of those aberrations that put on my country’s uniform at the same time.

This is a remarkable, eloquent, and frank analysis and I am glad that Wretchard chose to comment on it.
