One Argument for Old Age Is That I Won't Live Long Enough to See These Morons Do Their Full Measure of Damage
It it were just Evergreen College, which was always a sort of Antioch / Hampshire College nuthouse anyway, I could write it off. But this is going on at Yale and Wesleyan and Amherst and Middlebury and the Claremont colleges. The list goes on and on. Ken White, who has been on the front lines of free speech defense for years, has recently said there are many reasons to be optimistic. In particular, the Supreme Court has been virtually absolutist in its defense of free speech over the past decades. But someone said something to me that I have never forgotten -- the Supreme Court tends to reflect the values of college kids two generations earlier. Without massive new medical interventions (which are unlikely under the coming Sanders-Warren socialized medicine regime) I don't expect to be around to see it.
Too bad Dante is not around because he might have written a nice circle of hell for Evergreen President George Sumner Bridges. I can't tell if this guy is a complete idiot or if everything we hear from him is some sort of hostage video with him speaking under duress, perhaps with SJW's hiding in his office closet to enforce conformity.
