Trusting the Religious Right and Liberal Academia

Submitted by Linda Cooper (Canada), Dec 28, 2002 at 15:12

Dear Mr. Pipes,
Your article concerning the liberal academia in the United States was good. However, you did not list your reasons for why you think it has developed this way. How did this happen?

Also I am interested to know how you feel about the support of the Religious Right. Do you trust it? Are we "strange bedfellows" at this time only to be their enemies if we defeat the PLO?...Your insights would be appreciated. ...

Thank you,
L. Cooper

For reasons why the university is so monotonously left-leaning, see "I Love Iraq, Bomb Texas" by Victor David Hanson, Commentary, Dec. 2002.
