“But liberal education is another matter: that is a use of “liberal” far more ancient and more pure, a true understanding of liberty, which is freedom to live within the compass of God’s ordinances, not freedom to doubt and demolish. Liberal education is the intellectual training of free men.”

-Russell Kirk, The Conservative Mind

Dr. Kirk never spoke truer words than those quoted above. Yet, all across this great land, there has never been more of an absence of a "liberal" education. Forgotten are the days of learning, forsaken are the years of scholarship and rejected is the university's proper function as a training ground for the mind. These functions lie abandoned, strewn about the refuse heap of history like pitiful remnants of a bygone, dignified age. And what are we given to replace them? In place of learning, we receive indoctrination. In place of scholarship, we receive activism. And in place of training the mind, we are tossed the dessicated corpses of rotted Marxist ideas and expected to make intellectual sustenance from their bones. In such an abyss of cognitive famine, what else can one do but weep?

But to weep is to admit defeat, and defeat will only bring the endless biting hordes of the parasitic Left down in dreadful triumph. So what, then, is the frustrated intellectual to do? Why, he must throw his head back and laugh in exultation at the madness of what passes for learning, and he must show himself equal to defeating that conception of learning by sheer force of will. There is no other option when the stake of society lies so completely in the hands of its newer generation.

Ah, but hear the buzz of the parasites as they flock toward the hated mass of strength? Why, they say, you are lying! We are not biased! We are more open-minded than you, oh small-minded guardian of tradition! They sling ad hominem attacks such as "racist", "sexist", "homophobe" and "xenophobe" without relent or pity, as though these words are the dreadful condemnation of God, issuing with terrific potence from the heavenly gates: "Go from me, I do not know you." They demand proof of your accusations. They cry for you to produce the evidence for your claim against their wickedness. After all, it is just that even the worst should be considered innocent until proven guilty.

In the capacity of providing that evidence, I have started this blog. I intend to show that every last member of the academic Left, from places as exalted as Professorships to positions as humble as mere students, is complicit in the systematic destruction of the educational process.  I will produce the evidence in this trial of the educational elites, and they shall finally see the collapse of their endless tower of babble. I shall systematically skewer, with all the force of my wit, their pontifications and complaints against the established order. If you are of strong stomach, read on and learn the horror as I present you with the first example of this nonsense.

At the College I attend, there is a group which claims to support the gay community. At the beginning of this fall semester, this group released the following invective-laced email into the campus community - an email which must be brought to light so that all can see its twisted logic:

Dear Concerned/Marginalized Peoples, 
(An interesting salutation, to be sure!)

In the last semester, there has been an alarming and overwhelming tide of
racism, classism, sexism, homophobia, and transphobia on this campus. 

-Men of color (especially Black and Latino) being forced to leave
campus/quit school (Author's note: Due to poor grades, in many cases. Affirmative action has consequences.)
- [Articles] denouncing homosexuality as a sin (A valid opinion), attacking take back the
night (Tasteless but harmless), and professing a belief in reverse racism/discrimination/oppression (You mean "Marginalized" people can be racist too? Perish the thought!)
- A backlash, against students of color calling out whiteness (which is
*fundamentally premised upon RACISM*) - (Ah, lovely, so simply by being white, one is now a racist)
- Homophobic/Transphobic actions/words at [school events] (If by "homophobic/transphobic", you mean using "gay" in a derogatory fashion, which is a well-accepted idiom.)
- Rising tide of HATE SPEECH in freshmen dorms that is NO LONGER BEING
REPORTED to the campus via all-campus emails - (Yes, God forbid that free speech should exist without the Stalinist Political Correctness crowd controlling it!)
- Increased police presence on campus specifically targeting
students/people of Color (Frequently because these groups are being the more disorderly)
- Campus climate of HATE and UNSAFETY specifically for
oppressed/marginalized peoples (How vague can one get? What, precisely is "Hate" and "unsafety"? And who counts as "oppressed" and "marginalized"?)
- Increased EPISTEMIC VIOLENCE in the classroom (In other words, people are being forced to think critically about their ideas. Shame, shame, shame!)
- Reports of racially based assaults (Only reports?)


The problem should be readily apparent. You may watch for other examples on this site. I promise you, my readers, that they will come very quickly.
