Hard Knock Life - Princeton's bête noire of gay marriage, Prof. Robert George, lands a lot of quotes in David Brook's NYT op-ed on academic discrimination against conservative graduate students. In the humanities and social sciences, Brooks argues, liberal academics are either openly hostile or simply uninterested in the subjects that ignite the minds of young neocons. The advice: either keep your views in the closet or expect that most will turn you away. Not that that is all bad -- as Harvard's Harvey Mansfield recently said of two doctoral students who couldn't find jobs, "I guess they'll have to go to Washington and run the country."
