“The die was cast ‘way back in the ‘60s when college administrators bowed to the radicals and let them take over the universities.”
Without a doubt!
I remember reading a book by one of those radicals saying that they thought they would never get away with occupying administrators’ offices and buildings. When the administrators caved to all their demands they couldn’t believe that it was so easy.
And it’s been like that ever since. It’s what happens when the so called adults let their spoiled rotten kids take over.
We’ll be paying a big price for this abdication of responsibility.
American universities have always had a crisis of authority, going back to their founding as denominational schools in the colonial era. The old-style churches assumed their institutions would turn out Protestant like the churches themselves were, but Protestantism being more political than theological, what they actually ended up with was post-Protestant politics without the Biblical trappings.
