We Must Reverse the Infantilization of Higher Education

Last week, I experienced the infantilization of the campus for the first time.

I run the Center for Free Enterprise at Florida Southern College, where we emphasize that a realistic assessment of the world shows that free enterprise is the best way to help ordinary people. We had scheduled the well-known Manhattan Institute economist Diana Furchtgott-Roth to speak on “The Myth of the Wage Gap.” Because of that, a student targeted me for a dressing-down in my office.

Her main thrust was that the wage gap between men and women could not possibly be a myth. Everyone knows about this wage difference, she declared, so how could Diana Furchtgott-Roth call it a myth?

Hmmm... after a quick look at their website, they seem to be doing important work.  Thanks ranger!

There are some among us who live in rooms of experience we can never enter.
