Opinion Liberal academics isn't the problem, it's 'conservative nihilism'
http://www.latimes.com/opinion/readersreact/la-ol-le-thursday-letters-20170727-story.html"SNIP.........
To the editor: Regarding this opinion piece, Ronald Reagan probably would not be considered conservative enough in today's Republican Party, yet Fredrik deBoer contends the problem is liberal academics. (Re “This trend won’t end well,” Opinion, July 24)
Today's conservatism is nihilism.
Trump is practicing “burn it down"”while the GOP rejects the scientific method.
Republicans don't believe colleges are valuable because science and skepticism are counter to their orthodoxy. And yes, this trend won't end well.
