Thank you for this brilliant piece on which you so eloquently call out the state of the academy. As the mom of a student studying Latin and Greek in high school and seeing firsthand how these languages have developed his mind, his ability to think and to debate. Perhaps these schools should not only simply offer classical languages, but encourage students to take a class or two and think for themselves. An enriched mind is never a bad thing.

The ivy covered institutions are being revealed for the charlatans they have become through time. Truth requires diligence and honor.
