The liberal academic elite, what with their multiculturalism, environmentalism, feminism, atheism, and political correctness, are ruining everything! This is the subtle analysis of Todd J. Zywicki, the Dartmouth trustee and a law professor at George Mason University, captured on YouTube. The academic left in the modern university is compared to the Spanish Inquisition, an orthodoxy that stifled opposing (in this case right-wing) opinion. Zwicki's speech rant displays some pretty angry, hateful and yes, vicious stuff. According to an Inside Higher Ed report, he says some of his comments were taken out of context, he was speaking from notes, and he was unduly casual and informal. Perhaps, but then what does he really think?

And the Spanish Inquisition? Didn't they introduce waterboarding?
