Sorry, the topic of "commies on the campus" and the absurd little
article here is pretty much done as far as I am concerned. If you agree
with this deranged woman - well, that's up to you. If you believe that
there is some huge "Jonestown" like leftist cult that has taken over
colleges and universities, that is up to you also. I do not share your
concerns. Education is never perfect, but on the whole I think it's
pretty balanced. Sure, there are some flakes out there and you will
continue to use them as a proof that you are right. Your flakes are
Berkeley and my flakes are Bob Jones. If you are dreaming about bringing
up whole generations of Alex P. Keatons, I hope you don't wake up with
the sheets wet.
As for the do***entary and the so called review - sorry, but I just
can't take that seriously. It's like something out of Marvel Comics....
