Marxist professors or sensitive students? is the question debating between two columnists in the Times today.
Does it have to be either/or? Can't they all be nitwits? Yeah, they can.
The "crazy marxist" corner bases its argument in data showing overwhelmingly liberal-leaning departments at universities - as evidenced by political contributions and self-identification. But those views shouldn't seep into the classroom. Right, I'd agree. Why does the available data support that profs are politicking in the classroom?
The "sensitive students" camp cites the same stuff I'm talking about and blames, rightfully, pissy students and, worse, knee-jerk, scardey cat administrators. They are the worst.
So who's the baddy? Or should we just seal off colleges completely and hope they come out alright and readjust later?
