since it is never late for a little nostalgia and often too early to start my next paper, I recently revisited this precious gem by Front Page.
I'm surprised women studies isn't in quotes, because free speech, comparative american studies and transgender are. To make the most out of this classic, I present you with this useful checklist.
Look around and check for each one of these that you frequently see:
-radical political and sexual indoctrination by the faculty and administration
-faculty and administrators helping students organize protests against their country
-sending 200 students or more to most major anti-war and anti-globalization protests across the nation
-a long history of hypocrisy on Middle Eastern policy (namely vitriolic anti-Israel teach-ins and education sessions led by Oberlin’s faculty, flyers advertising a week of pro-Palestinian propaganda by faculty and guest speakers on one hand and the president calling "zionism=racism" graffiti hurtful on the other)
-indulging in “hating whitey.”
-faculty approving an entire (emphasis mine) academic program called “Comparative American Studies” – which includes “queer studies” – the central focus of which will be how white males have oppressed all those of an alternate sex, race or sexual preference since before our country’s inception.
-orgies held on campus
-gay people. everywhere.
-a gay Muslim.
-queer activists who want to battle neo-conservative American leaders in a quest to prevent a new fascist American state. And then encourage students to have sex.
Now count your checks.
Depending on who you are, you can:
a) decide to apply to Oberlin
b) wish you attended Oberlin 10 years ago
c) realize you are not quite making the most of your RAU experience
d) congratulate yourself on not being a dumbfuck like the author of this article, or a Republican for that matter
also depending on who you are, I leave you with some good news or bad news. just think, what would Jean Pearce do?
