Psycho Hose Beast Commencement Speaker (one of many)

<Professor "bell hooks" (yeah, that's her name.) Never heard of her before, thank God.

At what point does having lunatics teaching our kids start to make anyone nervous? I am less thunderstruck by the fact that universities hire such people than I am by the blase' attitude of most of the public about it.

I can imagine the public reaction if we were to find that the operators of a nuclear power plant used newspaper horoscopes to adjust the reactor settings. What's the difference?

These academics are pumping poison into the brains of our future leaders, or at least our future voters, and no one cares. "Their opinions are as valid as any others, aren't they?" Bullshit. This is reality, folks, and in reality it is possible for someone to be dead wrong. If a medical school started teaching that diseases were the result of demonic possession, it would be derided and shut down. Why is political trash any different? Should rabid communists be censored by the government? Of course not. But it should be a cold day in hell before a college hires them to teach kids. Let them hold court down at the coffeehouses.
