Now one wonders what will be the fate of the tipsters? They are obviously traitors to the cause. It is heartening to see that FIRE was tipped off by insiders at U of D.

I know because my daughter has been subjected to a dialogue by an ESL Cuban TA at her state university who keeps sending her submissions on “cosmopolitanism” and “little loyalties" by an author named Nathan who wrote AnyU back for redaction until my daughter regurgitates the party line. Mind you—-this is ENGLISH WRITING CLASS. On the other hand, her International Political Economics professer, a man of some erudition despite his liberal tendencies, actually engages in dialogue and discourse with her! So the leftist agitpreppies are using English writing classes and dormitory RAs to infect the students with Leninist principles.
