An Important Insight From Adam Kotsko

Adam Kotsko says:

I think that if he had just said, “Gosh, you guys caught me—I guess I counted wrong,” the world would have literally ended. So actually, we should be thanking him for this.

Who and what he's talking about is explained here.

Make sure to follow the link to the Inside Higher Ed report. There are some gems, including this one:

Dear Mr. Jaschik, Greetings! This was good article on the Horowitz book.

May I offer a further follow up piece of info? When Mr. Horowitz was offered info about a conservative professor winning the prestigious CASE/Carnegie Professor of the year award, no mention in his publications nor did acknowledgment occur. BUT, Mr. Horowitz complains about the lack of conservative professors on campuses.

Yes, I am the recipient of the award, but I found it curious that in Mr. Horowitz's pursuit of "conservative" professors, he ignores those who build full science departments from the ground up as well as implement advanced technologies into classroom teaching-as well as write on conservative issues related to abortion, cloning, etc.

It seems that Horowitz hates professors in general -- conservative, liberal or whatever. He simply doesn't have any use for education, critical thinking or sincere, hard working people.
