No Campus for White Men....or why we no longer need colleges in order to fail


If you don’t read another book this year, and I know that some of you are not readers of books, and I think that is to your detriment, but if you read only one this year, make it “No Campus for White Men”.  Subtitled “The Transformation of Higher Education into Hateful Indoctrination” it is a blistering, common sense “analysis” of the current craziness happening in our schools, and in our society writ large.

A play on the very good, somewhat disturbing movie “No Country for Old Men”, the author (Scott Greer) takes a hard look and what is becoming increasingly mainstream (and how that is happening), that would have been unthinkable just a few years ago.  Greer focuses on the growing obsession with diversity, victimization and identity politics on today's college campuses, and shows how it is creating an intensely hostile and fearful atmosphere that can only lead, ultimately, to ever greater polarization in American society.  What I found most fascinating was Greers’ ability to link  seemingly unrelated trends as "rape culture" hysteria and Black Lives Matter to an overall campus mindset intent on elevating and celebrating leftist-designated "protected classes" above everyone else while intimidating, censoring, and punishing those who disagree with this perversely un-American agenda (along the way, he gives a very clear vision of what amounts to modern “third wave feminism”, something I have never understood and the explanation of which cements in my mind that the modern day feminist is nothing more than a self-centered, loud mouth, leftist bitch with a bullshit, made up agenda).

In the end, the take away is that our colleges and universities are no longer educational houses, but rather factories for producing anti-American activist and agitators, with no skills to be, and no intentions of being, contributing members of society, of America.  Additionally, colleges are, at tax payer expense, promoting a renunciation and re-designing of America as a whole….into a vicious, tribal society.  No more the place where students go to grow up, get educated and prepared to live a grown-up life, colleges are increasingly becoming hotbeds of anti-American discrimination and generators of leftist hate.

I am beginning to think we can do without them.

  1. I remember when a collage education meant something. Now it just means you spent a lot of money for nothing but a boat load of debt with nothing to show for it.
