Her article brought to light Academia’s real definition of “Free Speech” while simultaneously making said institutions look like ridiculous indoctrination centers (I mean, most Conservatives already knew this. However; the article is being covered in MSM and many people are outraged). America needs more brazen young Conservatives willing to point out when the emperor has no clothes.

I find, to effectively criticize Liberals (especially the professional academic lot) you have to utilize a certain degree of, well, subterfuge. Pander to their egos as you slowly lead them into discrediting their own arguments. They will always let their hubris get the best of them.

She has not. Because Harvard, or the elite institutions, do not have a monopoly on knowledge

Did Harvard ever have a monopoly on knowledge? Its undergrads aren’t the minds that make it famous. Like most Ivy Leagues, Harvard is infamous for poaching world-renowned researchers (and their groundbreaking research) from other universities – often state universities like Boulder or Berkley. The fact that Ivy Leagues devout so much energy to poaching top talent (and rebranding it as its own) is a testament of their failure as institutions.

Chris, if your research ever took the turn towards innovative and groundbreaking – a Nobel prize winning discovery (uh, no offense to the research you do now) no doubt, an Ivy League would be knocking on your door, attempting to purchase you (and your research). *giggles* I can just picture you shutting the door in their face.

This is a menace which is going to be hard to deal with, unfortunately.
