[Egregious Philbin]

In ideology, the Frankfurt School eschewed the economic aspects of Marxism and promulgated a substitute based on Marx's 1843 preachments. Later labeled neo-Marxism, the program called for the destruction of religion, the family, education and all moral values, along with the capture of the intellectuals and the instruments of mass communication such as press, radio and films. To this it appended a new Freudianism, which reduced human relationships to rampant sexuality and the grossest pleasure principles -- a program its secret founder boasted "will make America stink."

A paragraph of nonsense! This guy offers himself as an example of the failure of American Education! Marx's Economic and Philophical Manuscripts, the "preachments" to which he refers, were written in 1844. Not an accurate description of the Frankfurt School anyway. What are "the grossest pleasure principles?" If he doesn't approve of Freud, then why use one of his phrases, unintelligably at that, to critize him? After we get rid of the NEA can we also do away with journalists who dabble in philosophy and critical theory?
