George Gilder, in Life after Google, on the pockmarks of self-congratulatory progressive education: "Credentials are the way the old academic order perpetuates itself and its hierarchies. At vast expense, the universities channel students into echoing corridors of an increasingly reactionary educational establishment that imagines that socialist nostrums, identity politics, chemophobia, sterile hedonism, druidical sun-henges, totemic windmills, and great walls of batteries are progressive. To lure them out is a revolutionary act." (Loc. 3250)#
