Wingnut Awareness Week

Adam Doster has written a reflection of Terrorism Awareness Weeek called "Wingnut Awareness Week: Neocons Beat the War Drum on College Campuses." Particularly insightful are his closing remarks on Conservatives and schooling:

"[Nicholas Hahn's remark] reveals how conservatives view the role of higher education. It is not an impassive search to deepen, broaden, and complicate our understanding of the world, but a commodity that should titillate or anger. And that makes sense: Calm, rational people do not rush to join irrational demagogues—at home and abroad—who beckon us toward never-ending war."
