I don't really understand your theory of gravity here. No one theorizing about race and gender is at the top of anything that filters down to my niece, and they are not reading Marcuse and Foucault.

Look, their Presidents testified in front of Congress and they said what they said. Which was nuts. Argue with that record and get back to me.

I am not defending those presidents, who hardly covered themselves in glory, but it is simply nonsense to suggest that the dominant view anywhere in academia is that October 7 was Israel's fault. Every school has its provocateurs, but none is run by them.

The Ds are at least now admitting out loud what we all knew before: Govt work is a trade - security for lower pay. Okay. That's fine.

This not a Democratic idea. This happens because taxpayers don't want to pay taxes, and so governments negotiate with workers to give them things that don't cost money, like job security. No one thinks it's the best way to run an organization, but no one wants to pay taxes either.

Personally, I'd pay govt workers on par with the private sector, and make them fireable just like the private sector.

And then you'd be unelected for raising taxes, and you'd sit in a diner and tell anyone who came near your table about how everything would be better if you were in charge.

(The increased pay for good people would make up for the lost multiplier of giving loads of salaries to mediocre people.)

Isn't it pretty to think so.
