With three semesters gone, the list of dubious academic achievements of 2008 is a long one but we will try to whittle it down to:
• Lionizing Weather Underground terrorist Bill Ayers, himself a tenured professor on, among other outlets, the website supportbillayers.org;
• Demanding a federal bailout by the U. S. Congress, the outgoing Bush Administration, the incoming Obama government or any combination of the above while sitting on billion-dollar endowments;
• Insisting on academic freedom for professors while their students fail to answer basic historical questions;
• Denying political biases while using class time to get out the vote for Barack Obama;
• Annual productions of The Vagina Monologues that claim to elevate women while reducing them to body parts;
• Playing the Race Card while still failing to attract black students, leading to, concurrently, an explosion in courses on racial studies and increasingly urgent pleas to boost minority enrollment;
• Birthing plots to bankrupt the nation financially, politically and culturally—from federal bailouts to UN programs and treaties to laws that grant homosexuals the same privileges that married couples enjoy;
• Pushing for nationalized health care despite the well-documented failure of same;
• Maintaining the fiction of global warming in the face of plummeting temperatures; and
• Turning prime academic real estate over to radical Islamic groups under the guise of “tolerance.”
