Lack of a meaningful dialogue on any PC topic is accepted in higher ed. No demand for 'dialogue' existed prior to your efforts to provoke it. How courses in law, history, ethics, economics, anthropology and political science could not trigger such discussions staggers the imagination. But those charged with the discovery of ideas in society have not fostered imagination. Those in the academy have suppressed imagination by arresting the inner minds of their charges with inviolate PC hype.
Higher education is no longer the birthplace of ideas.
Blatant hypocrisy passes without objection. When our vote-counting former VP began his teaching career at Columbia University this year, not only were outsiders excluded, the students had to pledge not to reveal what they learned from his Goreishness. Then again, Columbia is home to a sexual harassment policy that would make Genghis Khan blush. Harassers are declared guilty and punished without the right to confront their accusers. Even a cursory look at the curricula of universities is disturbing.
