David French: Who?s anti-intellectual?

By Alliance Alert

ADF Attorney David French writing at Phi Beta Cons: "Professor Pannapacker is correct that professors 'have become increasingly condescending, sanctimonious, and shrill' because they shut down the marketplace of ideas on campus. Large segments of the population are hungry for knowledge, but less hungry for the postmodern, race/gender deconstruction that dominates much of academic thought. What?s more anti-intellectual? Reading (or writing) one more screed against the patriarchy or reading seminal economic texts? The much-maligned Glenn Beck and his much-maligned audience have demonstrated more hunger for knowledge than many academics. He asks his audience to read serious works, and he recently blasted The Road to Serfdom back to No. 1 on the Amazon charts."
