More proof<\/a> of the collapse of American universities and Catholic universities in particular.  As a result of the abdication of authority on the part of administrators, 'Catholic' universities have become anti-Catholic leftist seminaries, hotbeds of cultural Marxism.  Am I exaggerating?  Read Rod Dreher's interview with Professor Esolen and see for yourself.  Here is the message that has to go out to parents thinking of sending their children to Providence College (PC !), or DePaul, or Georgetown, or Notre Dame, etc.:<\/span><\/p>\n

What advice would you give to young Christian academics? To Christian parents preparing to send their kids to college?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s long past the time for administrators at Christian colleges to abandon the hiring policies that got us in this fix to begin with. We KNOW that there are plenty of excellent young Christian scholars who have to struggle to find a job. Well, let\u2019s get them and get them right away. WE should be establishing a network for that purpose \u2014 so that if a Benedictine College needs a professor of literature, they can get on the phone to Ralph Wood at Baylor or me at Providence or Glenn Arbery at Wyoming Catholic, and say, \u201cDo you have anybody?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Christian parents \u2014 please do not suppose that your child will retain his or her faith after four years of battering at a secular college. Oh, many do \u2014 and many colleges have Christian groups that are terrific. But understand that it is going to be a dark time; and that everything on campus will be inimical to the faith, from the blockheaded assumptions of their professors, to the hook-ups, to the ignorance of their fellow students and their unconscious but massive bigotry. Be advised.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

There is little or no point in writing  letters of protest to the administrative and professorial crapweasels that oversee and enable this leftist insanity.  They will ignore your respectful objections and go back to calling you racist, xenophobic, homophobic, etc.  To these willfully enstupidated shitheads you are just bad apples at the bottom of Hillary's "basket of deplorables."<\/span><\/p>\n

What you have to do is cut off their funding.  If you are an alumnus of DePaul or PC — how felicitous the abbreviation! — refuse them when they ask for donations.  And let them know that you will not send your children there.<\/span><\/p>\n

That will get their attention.<\/span><\/p>\n

I believe it was Lee Iacocca who said, "When money talks, ideology walks."  We need to give leftist ideologues, especially stealth ideologues like Hillary, their walking papers<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

You may enjoy the way I lay into<\/a> the blockhead president of DePaul.<\/span><\/p>\n
