God help us ...
Once upon a time, America's universities were places in which students were taught to think. No more. American universities have become institutions in which students are force-fed Marxist claptrap and are indoctrinated by PC hooligans.
If stories like this don't set your blood to boiling, then you really don't give two squirts 'bout what's happening in the good ol' U.S. of A. these days (from the December 3, 2007, National Review):
"The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) recently won a small victory for freedom of thought. According to FIRE, students at the University of Delaware underwent a series of 'treatments' (the university’s term) designed to inculcate in them, among other things, a new understanding of what constitutes a racist: 'A racist is one who is both privileged and socialized on the basis of race by a white supremacist (racist) system. The term applies to all white people (i.e., people of European descent) living in the United States, regardless of class, gender, religion, culture or sexuality.' In other words: To hell with what you actually think; if you’re white you’re a racist, and if not you’re being oppressed. Thanks to FIRE’s efforts to publicize the program, it has now been canceled. But we trust that more subtle efforts to brainwash students continue in strength — and not just at the University of Delaware."
