I witnessed all this start to snowball at universities in the 1990s. The problem is that what Zakaria calls for is not going to happen because the ideologues are too deeply entrenched at all levels of the university system in faculty, administration, and admissions. They will protect their careers. Faculty will only hire new faculty that support their ideology. Only pressure from outside the existing university system can correct this.

It is possible to eradicate this nonsense top-down. It will never work bottom-up. But when common sense has even infiltrated CNN, there is hope that the real decision makers eventually get emboldened to take real action.
