Summary
Modern higher education standards are being ruined by the wokeness taking over America. Look no further than Arizona State University, where its School of Journalism just announced a new major dedicated to becoming an “influencer.” Victor Davis Hanson and Jack Fowler on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” examine Congressman Ro Khanna’s policy priorities for a Democratic House majority, including Medicare for All, living wage mandates, and cutting off aid to Israel. They describe how the progressives are hypocritical elites, operating as capitalists while pandering to anti-Israel hard-liners. Addressing the public exhaustion with anti-police hostility, Hanson then shares insights from his own career as a classicist, detailing the blatant racial preferences in hiring and ideological rot that ultimately drove him to resign his university tenure. He describes how the woke and DEI standards across America are running higher education into the ground, and influenced his decision to resign his tenure at age 51.
