In an article titled “The Footnote, in Theory,” The University of Chicago’s Critical Inquiry has tallied up the theorists most often cited in the journal’s existence.

The winners, lest you can’t guess? As Accuracy in Academia notes, such leftist icons as deconstructionist Jacques Derrida, who discredited historical theorists such as Aristotle; Noam Chomsky of “anti-American dementia” (David Horowitz’s description); and, of course, Karl Marx.

Those absent from the list? Such theorists as Thomas Jefferson, Mark Twain, and C.S. Lewis.

“Footnotes,” the article’s authors tell us, “stand for a scholarly community.” And a notably anti-American, anti-Western, collectivist one at that!
