“Economic analysis is the first principle of Marxism. Professors who were genuine leftists would have challenged the entire economics-driven machinery of American academe the wasteful multidepartmental structure, the divisive pedantry of overspecialization, the cronyism and sycophancy in recruitment and promotion, the boondoggling ostentation of pointless conferences, the exploitation of graduate students and part-time teachers, the subservience of faculty to overpaid administrators, the mediocrity and folly of the ruling cliques of the Modern Language Association.” FirstsLanguagePrinciplesTeacherEconomicModernStudentsEconomicsStructureDrivenGenuineAnalysisFollyFacultyProfessorsMediocrityAssociationGraduatesExploitationRulingConferencesMachineryPromotionMarxismPointlessLeftistsAdministratorsPart TimeCliqueRecruitmentGraduate StudentsPedantryOstentationSubservienceCronyismModern Languages Book:Vamps & Tramps: New Essays Source: Vamps & Tramps: New Essays

“I think evolution should be taught as an accepted principle. I say that also as the daughter of a school teacher, a science teacher, who has instilled in me a respect for science. I think it should be taught in our schools. I won't ever deny that I see the hand of God in this beautiful creation that is earth.

Or, if our neighbor copies something down, we sneak it from him, stealing what he himself may have heard imperfectly, and add it to our own errors of spelling and opinion.” IfsHumansMayTogetherUnderstandingHuman BeingsPoorPayRaceAttentionOpinionPrinciplesTeacherHeardStudentsFellowsAddErrorsNeighborStealingCuriousHuman RaceCopiesDiscourseLecturesPupilsSneakSpellingLecturerChatter Author:Georg C.
