Charles Murray’s new book took dead aim at one of the cherished beliefs of the education establishment, namely that America should be striving toward universal higher education. On the contrary, Murray argued, we already put far too many students into college. Prof. David Kirp negatively reviewed the book in the liberal American Prospect.

So, how did the bout go? I write about the fight in this week’s Clarion Call. In my view, Kirp never laid a glove on Murray.
