By agreeing to teach at Summit Christian Ministries I know I’ve found fertile ground for recruiting plaintiffs in my own personal war against academic fascism. But I also need help from older citizens – those who were educated before the era of political correctness and diversity. Fortunately, my friends at the National Association of Scholars have come up with a new program that will help.
The Argus Project is one of those ideas so good and so important I wished I had thought of it myself. The idea is that there is so much lunacy in higher education that those fighting it need an entire army of eyes in order to respond effectively. All you need to do to become a part of the project is to send an email to NAS with the subject line “Argus.”
Last month I saw a sixty year old man drinking beer at a pizza place at noon. When I walked in he recognized me and offered up some unsolicited advice on how I could be a more effective columnist. But he could do a lot more good if he would stop drinking at noon and instead surf the website of his alma mater or, if he did not go to college, his local university. Then, after become a part of the Argus Project, he could feed information to the NAS or to me directly in order to help us all become more effective in restoring dignity to higher education.
The same could be said for the seventy year old retiree who told me that he did not envy what I was up against in my battles on our nation’s campuses. If you really do think I’m fighting an uphill battle then, please, lend a helping hand.
Older generations of Americans have simply worked too hard – and many veterans have fought too hard – to now resign themselves to defeat. They must fight while they can and make sure that younger generations understand that they owe it to them and to themselves to preserve the freedoms that came at such a cost. Freedom is, after all, a process. It is not merely a result.
In a nutshell, I need grandparents who will supply the information needed for future litigation. And I need parents who will raise young warrior plaintiffs. Of course, I’ll supply the lawyers. I’ll even supply the Rolaids for college administrators. |
