Welcome to the blog!

This blog is dedicated to the deconstruction, de-funding and destruction of the humanities and social sciences at the university level in America.

The humanities and social sciences have declined precipitously enough so that their academic and intellectual standards are nonexistent.

In this time of budget crunches, it is essential for legislators, regents and trustees of universities to take a hard look at the weak scholarship that continues to be promoted at their institutions.

States that fund universities should insist on a massive reduction of these fields and, ideally, insist on eliminating them rather than use scarce taxpayer dollars to reward students for spending 4 (or more) years as they pretend to study this twaddle.
