This is one reason why I think the elite schools are done where the humanities are concerned. By conventional wisdom it’s a bad idea to go to anything less than the “best” school you can get into, but I think that if a person has ideas about taking their discipline in a different (preferably hopeful) direction, the last thing they need is to spend four years fighting off brainwashing and abuse while incurring ruinous debt.

Makes me wonder about the fate of businesses which insist on hiring only from the ivys.

Good point. The "elite" schools are counting on retaining the prestige factor forever, and that's exactly the environment in which the enemy wants to ensconce itself. But the counter-cultural fact is, none of the elite schools are sacred. In many areas where the elite schools are not doing outright damage to society, you can still get a better education by other means.
