Buckley Jr.??? posted here...the conservative from Camden, S.C."<BR/> Your defense of the accuracy of that statement was to assert that G.Girl must have been thinking of another person entirely (the authors father) who did have some connections to Camden S.C.<BR/> In other words you merely explained, as gently as possible, the since there have been two William F. Buckleys (Senior and Jr.) it is cruel and unfair for us to expect Georgia Girl to be able to keep them straight in her mind. Apparently it should not matter that the one connected to Camden has been dead for decades and never wrote a book (afaik) whereas the other guy is alive today, wrote dozens of best selling books, and arguably could be described as one of the most influential polemicists of the late 20th century.<BR/> Someone asked whether or not I learned my lesson about attacking others.

Last I looked Princeton was the top ranked undergrad school. Check out the course offerings in its AAAS dept... .Laughable, pitiful ... pathetic!" <BR/>I don't think, Jack, that you are very familiar with as many colleges as you think you are if you think that others don't have the same problem of affirmative action hires for identity studies departments who will push agendas and make power plays when opportunity arises. The opportunity arose not too long ago at Harvard, and Larry Summers is no longer president, replaced by a feminist scholar. Duke's AAAS Professor Grant Farred is a visiting professor at Williams College this semester, spewing his postmodern race-sex-class crap at lectures and classes there. Princeton University gave him a PhD. Two of the more vocal of Duke's G88, Lubiano and Wood, hail from Stanford, armed with distinguished degrees. Houston Baker, arguably the most virulent of the 88, did his magic at University of Pennsylvania before he came to Duke, and now Vanderbilt has him. Do you know the great Cornel West, formerly of Harvard, now a celebrated member of Princeton's faculty and buddy of Al Sharpton? This thread has mentioned Kerri Dunn of Pomona who spray painted a racist phrase on her own car, claiming vandalism and stirring up the idyllic campus there. <BR/>The opportunity, indeed the perfect storm, arose at Duke and the opportunists came out of the shadows and the administration acted with temerity toward them. They are at many, many other universities and colleges, waiting for a ripe time to take action. You need to go beyond this board and read more widely about trends in higher education and incidents at colleges and universities around the country. Most race-class-gender power plays don't make the news, and those that do usually make the news in campus papers or publications focused on higher education, such as "The Chronicle of Higher Education." Harvard's presidential plight made national headlines and the frame-up at Duke was a media storm. Read deeper and learn more.<BR/>Your post condemns all Duke faculty, as if they all behaved as the outspoken of the G88 did. Repeatedly on this blog and others, recent alumna and parents of current Duke students have commented upon the incredibly good experiences and professors they and their children have had and are having. You are insulting all the professors at Duke in your post.
