The Campus Peril to Western Civilization

This article by Jacob Howland is worth reading in regards to the education students are receiving at universities.

Here are some quotes:

"But the cheerleading on American campuses for terrorists ... has made it clear that the collapse of higher education imperils Western civilization itself. Without real higher education, we would forget the past and stumble blindly into the future. Without universities worthy of the name, there would be no civilization."

"...far from equipping students to preserve and extend civilization, American universities—especially elite ones—have been teaching them how to destroy it."

"It is that our nation’s most esteemed universities, and many others to boot, have defrauded their students. They’ve cheated them of a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to receive a real education: one that opens their minds to the deep pleasures of learning, and to the precious inheritance of knowledge and wisdom that has sustained civilization for millennia."
