There's a lot of talk about humanities majors, but I think it's telling that this is happening most at elite universities, and also with those that study Law. These tend to be very smart students, who will in the future go into Big Law. How do you fix that problem?
elite university does not mean smart students IMO, but putting that aside, Vosem made a good point about McCarthyism sort of worked so maybe we need to bring back tribunals on unamerican activites and loyalty oaths for certain professions
