In the spring of 2006, as a member of the infamous Group of 88 tenured radicals at Duke, Prof. Anne-Maria Makhulu was trying to put the curse of “white privilege” on the Duke lacrosse team. Now she’s telling the world, with the complicity of the Duke News Service and The Herald-Sun, that witchcraft can help change the world, in a lefty, collectivized direction, of course. At least that’s the way i read this quote:
“When people say they believe in magical forces, they believe in magic that can make the world equal and just in circumstances where it’s not,” Makhulu said. For some, “witchcraft is about recuperating what is ethical, just and moral.”
“We need enchantment in our lives because our world has become disenchanted,” Makhulu said. “We need faith that promises something bigger and better than what we have.”
Imagine a college professor saying, “We need Jesus in our lives.” Nope. That would be insensitive.
