MARANTO, SON OF CRAZY DAVEY HOROWITZ

In another waste of valuable op-ed space, the WaPo let Prof. Robert Maranto whine about the relative dearth of conservatives in the Academy. This is the reply I made in the comments for Maranto's piece:
American universities have been hospitable to conservatives since at least the 1930s. Prof. Maranto should familiarize himself with the Southern Agrarian Movement.Commenter pali2500 mentions John Yoo, Leo Strauss and Condi Rice as examples of 3 conservatives who found a welcome home in the academy. I would add Richard Pipes, his son Daniel, F. A. Hayek, Ludwig von Mises, Richard Weaver and Wilmoore Kendall.
