I wanted to point out a few more things from that WSJ article on the hilarious case at Dartmouth, where a professor is going to file a discrimination lawsuit because some of her students had the unmitigated nerve to question some of her bizarre assertions in class.

The professor, who has left Dartmouth in a huff for Northwestern (watch out, Evanston!) lectured to her students such notions as that “Scientific facts do not correspond to a natural reality but conform to a social construct.” When the students started to do some of what professors usually say is the main objective of college — critical thinking — she blew a gasket and denounced them as “irrational.”

What kind of course was it? It was supposed to be a writing course. So, nutty as this is, you have to ask why Dartmouth would hire someone whose academic focus is on “science studies” (whatever that might be) to teach a section of freshman composition.
