Professor Julio Pino, of whom I have written before, has once again brought embarrassment to Kent State University.

At least the president of the university, Lester Lefton, condemned the behavior of Pino.
Of course, Pino will not be fired over this incident because of his free speech rights. What is appropriate, however, is that all universities do some self-reflection on the kind of radical, left-wing activists they have hired to teach our children in the classroom. Professors like Pino and so many others around the country have brought so much disrepute to higher education that a diploma (at least in the humanities) has become something of a joke.
"So many others"? How many, relative to the total number of university faculty? Do they really dominate education, or are they just loud, easy to spot in a crowd, any convenient for the purveyors of several brands of doomsday to talk about?
ReplyDeleteCharley,
ReplyDeleteVisit most any humanities department on a university campus. Finding them is like shooting fish in a barrel.
"Finding them is like shooting fish in a barrel."
ReplyDeleteThat is not a quantification, nor a percentage. One shark? Or 500 pirhana? If they are all confined to the humanities department, they would be conspicuously absent elsewhere.
