WWTCD: That’s What Would The Corner Do. Tomorrow I’m on a panel at the Young America’s Foundation’s 25th anniversary student conference in D.C. The topic, so very broadly, is “25 Years of Campus Battles and Successes.” Here’s the thing: It’s a panel, it’s one of the last things they hear, at the end of their week. So one needs to be at her shortest, snappiest, and wisest. (So easy at 4 on a late July afternoon!) What brilliant things would you say? What brilliant things would you want to hear? As I get older (stop laughing. one of you is. i hear it) , I confess, I wish I had spent more time on my Aristotle and Thomas (I was no slacker, mind you, but I had my distractions) rather than trying to change the world (campus) while I was in school. That said, I’m glad I fought some of those higher-ed battles I did when I was an undergrad, I do think there was a point to it all still. So, anyway, her’s what I have in mind for you: If you were going to pep talk college kids about battling on campus, what would you say? And more theoretically, what is the point of campus activism–of the conservative variety? (WWRKS–What Would Russell Kirk Say? I’m sure I would be wise to quote from GAMAY!) I’m curious to hear what you’all have to say. And, natch, I’ll share later.
