Emory University professor Mark Bauerlein contributes this excellent essay at Minding the Campus. His subject is what he calls “soft bias” on campus — that is, professors who never rant and rave like Ward Churchill, but nevertheless instill in students the idea that the only possible way of looking at the world is through leftist lenses. In particular, Bauerlein comments on a course taught at Harvard by the former president of Haverford College on “social justice” where the students got a steady diet of readings from the likes of bell hooks (sic), but nothing from scholars like Hayek (who famously argued that the very idea of “social justice” is nonsensical) because he was unfamiliar with them. If Professor Tritton had tried to find writers on the other side of the argument, it wouldn’t have been hard to do, but he didn’t bother.
