Academia is heading off the Left cliff. Can it be steered to safety?

We've seen fires and riots in recent years, but it's unlikely that tensions on America's college campuses have yet reached their peak. As students return to campus for the 2017-2018 academic year, be prepared for more chaos that will crowd out learning.

There will be more canceled lectures, more censorship, more protests, more vandalism, and more violence.

For conservatives disillusioned by the increasingly incomprehensible and toxic brand of leftism rising in academia, it's dangerous to simply dismiss this behavior as the sad inchoate spasms of immature youth. This is a serious movement grounded in a clear and dangerous philosophy.

The anti-liberal mindset of today's campus liberals has precipitated the rewriting of our political vernacular, the effects of which have already rippled into newsrooms, corporations, and political offices.

Why are conservative student organizations routinely referred to as "hate groups" and bastions of "white supremacy?" Why, on campuses, is it "racist" to wear sombreros on Cinco de Mayo or host Egypt-themed fraternity parties?
