Yale Okays Atrocities, as long as they are Anti-American

John Fund has an interesting piece on how far the faculties of Yale in particular [and Harvard gets dishonorable mention] have wandered from any contact with real-world accountability.

The contrasting tales of De Man and the Taliban senior commissar demonstrate that today's post-modernist sickness and malaise blind America's leading institutions from comparing and evaluating fascist regimes, whether religious or secular[Zimbabwe, e.g. or Cuba]. I guess the difference is the humanistic values of Nazism, which did assembly line exterminations, versus the Taliban, which flays its opponents alive. Evidently Yale prefers the latter form of "liquidation."

The serenely unaccountable [and in some cases unreachable] Yale denizens truly dwell in an ivory tower of ignorance.

[BTW, in the 1790s before the advent of the Second Great Awakening at Yale, the students would gamble and hold dances and drinking bouts in the student chapels.] Can another Great Awakening be in the Offing?
