Attention Corner readers. Uncle Stan wants YOU, to help wipe out leftist bias in the academy. That means all of you. But especially if you live in the Northern Philadelphia suburbs or Bucks County; or downtown San Diego, Imperial Beach; or downtown Chicago, the West Side of Chicago, or the west Chicago suburbs; or Northeast Youngstown, Ohio, Warren, and part of Akron; or South Texas, including most of Hidalgo County and McAllen; or the Las Vegas suburbs; or the Northeast part of Augusta Georgia; or Northwest Georgia, especially Rome, parts of Columbus and Marietta; or East Georgia, especially Athens, most of Augusta, and Savannah; or Western Michigan, especially Muskegon and Holland. If you live in any of these places, then you live in the district of one of the ten Congressmen on the House Subcommittee on Select Education. Even if you don’t live in these districts, a letter or phone call from you could matter. So please see my piece today reporting on the contentious congressional hearing I appeared at last week and consider writing or calling a committee member with the request that he support the creation of a permanent supervisory board for programs of Middle Eastern studies and other area studies. Despite years of complaints of bias in the academy, there may never have been a congressional hearing on the subject. This may be the best chance we’ve had to actually do something about the problem of campus political correctness. Congressional action on this issue would send a very big message to the academy as a whole. So please consider writing to a committee member, especially if you live in his district.
