If you're above a certain age, the idea of college professors going along with something this (with the exception of this guy), is unthinkable. Correction: was unthinkable. Many believe in this garbage. Most just sheepishly go along with it without a word of protest. Mind you, many of the sheep are tenured, yet still can't muster up the cajones to speak out against it. Ultimately, it's not the dumb kids following some fad and exercising power trips who are responsible, it's the alleged adults.
