And the author is just as responsible as those of us who have wallowed in our own self interest and the good life whilst allowing our young to be brainwashed by an educational system run and populated by far left opportunists, generously supported by tax payers, who have never had to take any responsibility for whatever they preach and have never had to live in the real world.
It isn't 'Academic extremism' at all, it's the unintended consequence of allowing academics to believe that they can bring up children better than their parents can and that they are the only ones worthy of deciding what is the best for our communities.
We have been conned and the biggest problem about that is that many of our own children now believe that teacher/professor is right and that Mom/Dad is wrong.
Welcome to the 21st century!
