DISPATCHES FROM THE EDUCATION APOCALYPSE:

Instapundit - The Real Reason Yale Professors Are Leaving Trump’s America.
“We Study Fascism, and We’re Leaving the U.S.,” a Wednesday New York Times headline read.
At the heart of the issue is a redefinition of the word “fascism” in such a way as to make it sound like it means the same thing as “patriotism.” 
  • These Yale professors — and a good many people who think like them — find the American assertion that this country, with its quasi-sacred founding and its insistence on the rights of man given him by God, is an exceptional one a troubling concept. 
They seem to equate “Make America Great Again” with Adolf Hitler’s “Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Fรผhrer.”

Flashback: The Left’s fear of fascism under Trump is the ultimate example of projection.

UPDATE: NYT’s ‘Fascism’ Narrative Is So Tiresome It Has Become Self-Parody.

  • As George Orwell famously wrote, “The word Fascism has now no meaning except in so far as it signifies ‘something not desirable.’”
