I know the professor the article speaks about, and his book with its criticism of academia is like preaching to the choir here on FreeRepublic, because so many of us have paid attention for years to so many sources that have critiqued the ills in academia.
That does not make the report from the Martin Center useless, if we take it upon ourselves to take the best of what we get here and share it outside of FreeRepublic as widely as we can.
If, rejection from any particular recipients is likely if you share the FreeRepublic source, then share the original source; sometimes it can change how what you share is initially received and thus more likely to be read.
I try to use FreeRepublic that way with everything, to expand the reach of what we share here.
And yes, I use FaceBook and other blogs, and yes FaceBook has me tagged as “Very Conservative”. Maybe they think that is a “warning” to others. I wear the tag proudly.
“Professor Warren Treadgold, who teaches history at Saint Louis University. “
Finally, a libarts prof worth of the title “Professor”.
I’ll bet his classes are a delight to attend, his tests are not easy, and his students are not SJW dumbasses.

Prof Anthony Esolen was chased out of Providence College by an administration approved leftist student gang, he translated Dante’s Divine Comedy, teaches this missing classic cultural curriculum from 10 great ancient civilizations. He says in the 1930s, Thomas Dewey at Columbia Teachers College stripped out the core Western Civilization curriculum which teaches WHY we exercise core values in public life. Esolen says “I’ve got the textbooks to prove” that this curriculum was used in high schools before Dewey purged it. But by the time of Why Johnny Can’t Read in the 1950s, there were no more teachers who’d been trained in Western Civ. One doesn’t give what one doesn’t have. This made us vulnerab!e to the Frankfurt School invasion of the New Left’s Herbert Marcuse to “make Western civilization stink” in 3 generations of college classrooms.
