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. Multiculturalism, not math, not language and certainly not spirituality, is now virtually a universal requirement for a degree.
Students worship the pagan god of diversity.
In my own course on business ethics I require a book by white male Michael Novak on business and society. As a philosopher making the case for capitalism, he charts new territory. I have students who refuse to read the book. Others take offense. One student threw the book away after three chapters, so great was her umbrage.
