Who are the 100 most dangerous academics?
Have you heard about this book? Author David Horowitz lists 100 (well, 101) academics whom he says “spew violent anti-Americanism, preach anti-Semitism, and cheer on the killing of American soldiers and civilians—all the while collecting tax dollars and tuition fees to indoctrinate our children.” Yowza.
So far, I’ve only found a list of historians mentioned in the book but am trying to find a complete listing somewhere.
My hope is that someone from Virginia Tech is on the list. Otherwise, I’ll feel sort of robbed that I didn’t get a “dangerous” education. (Other than, you know, on Fraternity Row.)
For the record, the only intolerance I saw at Tech, other than intolerance towards frat boy broadcast majors who skip class a lot, was the engineering department’s insistence that women couldn’t hack it as engineers, despite the fact that my girlfriend Mary Ann did quite well in the program and afterwards. I suspect the professors’ attitude had a lot more to do with why Mary Ann was one of the few women in most of her classes.
The only semi-political cause I saw at Tech that stirred up more than 10 or so people (of a student body in the tens of thousands) was student parking, which was capable of generating marches and protests.

Sorry, no Va. Tech professors. No Kenyon ones either. I guess I somehow became
an America-hating liberal all without any indoctrination from my college
professors.

I totally had a class with Professor Estrada–and the class was definitely not about burning up jewish people or soldiers. Guess that makes me one of the infected.
Man, the economics of book publishing these days …
