You would never know it, given my writings here, but I used to be an enthusiastic, totally unabashed believer in higher education. 

I thought that, for all its flaws and quirks, American higher education institutions contributed far more to society than the trouble they caused and the expense they cost. 

What a difference a few decades make. 

Academia has been liberal for over a century, although there used to be room for centrists and even a few conservatives. But even with the political bias, most academics had a reverence for reason, a commitment to finding the truth, and certainly didn't expend all their effort into indoctrinating students. 

Research, science, debate, and creating public-minded adults were ideals, even if the ideals were rarely fulfilled. 

We are a long way from there to here, and the underlying cause of the degeneration is that the "long march through the institutions" has reached its goal. The anti-Westerners figured out that the long-anticipated revolution predicted by Marx and his followers was never coming, so they set their sights on becoming the Establishment and creating a revolution from within.
