David Brooks: "Donors who are offended by what’s happening on campuses today shouldn’t stop funding universities. They should fund pluralistic programs that offer an alternative to and a critique of the currently prevailing ideology."
Elite liberals are either Charlie Brown always believing he's about to kick the football or the Washington Generals, the team that takes the court every night happy to lose to the Harlem Globetrotters.
But Brooks is important as a guide—just do the opposite of what he recommends.
You have to be completely deluded to believe that the Social Justice takeover of academia would consider "pluralistic programs" anything more than a speed bump, a minor inconvenience to be ignored or dismantled the next time a sacred minority cries "Harm!"
People opposed to the Social Justice takeover have 2 ways to fight it: either withhold cash and/or vote for politicians who refuse to keep subsidizing pseudoacademic scholarship that is ideological activism in disguise.
Cash and votes are the only weapons here, everything else is more impotent liberalism, happy to march from defeat to defeat.
