Keep exposing the devils, we are listening. David, I admire your courage tremendously in addressing racial politics from a common-sense point of view. The Left has so demagogued the subject, that meaningful dialogue has become virtually impossible, except in the pages of your magazine. Yours, Mike Baron David, I read your book and thought it very good. You mentioned there are only a handful of schools that are more conservatively oriented.
Small colleges are often somewhat isolated in communities that can be oppressively left.
Communal pressure in a small liberal-arts school is also greater than in a university. In a large university, the left often can be avoided. All of these are smaller schools. Students can get a good non-ideological education, however, even in a place like Berkeley, if they major in the sciences, or avoid departments like English, Comparative Literature, History, and all the ethnic studies centers. The same is true for most places.
