Debbie and I have traveled extensively around New England and witnessed the freak out on campuses in the region. It is unlikely that many colleges, other than the venerable Hillsdale College and a handful of business schools and more conservative schools in the South, will ever recover from the culture war in America. In his letter, reposted on LewRockwell.com, Tom Woods decries the lunacy on college campuses. Episodes of such lunacy include calls for the death of a Supreme Court Justice, blaming the slap of Chris Rock by Will Smith (both black) on white supremacy, and nonsensical COVID regulations.
