Antioch College truly deserved to close. You can glean this much by reading an op-ed in Saturday’s Washington Post by alumnae Megan Rosenfeld, defending her alma mater. Some highlights:

“We need people who have learned — in addition to history and science — to question authority.”

and

“If George Will hates us, we must be doing something right.”

But the salient point comes in the middle of the piece, when Rosenfeld cautions that it’s too simplistic to blame the school’s liberalism for its collapse. She’s surely correct–schools that teach students to question authority as a prima facie value, and cast themselves as George Will reactionaries are destined for success.
