Little wooden people

What John Ellis thinks of the 'special courses' at university such as gender studies, peace studies, heteropatriachal studies, etc:

Just as Pinocchio went off to school with high hopes, only to be waylaid by J. Worthington Foulfellow, minority students are met on the way to campus by hard-left radicals who claim to have the interests of the newcomers at heart but in reality prey on them to advance their own selfish interests. Of course, what black students need is the same solid traditional education that had raised Irish, Italians, and Jews to full equality. But that would not serve the campus radicals’ purpose. Disaffected radicals wanted to swell the ranks of the disaffected, not the ranks of the cheerfully upward mobile. Genuine progress for minority students would mean their joining and thus strengthening the mainstream of American society - the mainstream that campus radicals loathe.
 

The same Gramscian ideology is being fed to our Australian students. As a holder of four tertiary Qualifications, a teacher and a lecturer for more than a decade, I would counsel young people now to either get a job and work their way up, learn a trade (something useful) or if needs be go to university only if it is for engineering, medicine or architecture.
The university's have become recruiting grounds for the disaffected, the rebellious and the anarchists.
Avoid them to become a culture builder rather than a destroyer.
