Saturday afternoon roundup - education edition

The university, once a linchpin of Western civilization's seemingly unstoppable advancement, has now become an agent of its rot.

Eileen F. Toplansky at The American Thinker looks at the question of why post-American students turn out so unable to think or calculate.  Answer: the preoccupation with identity politics.

Paul Mirengoff at Power Line says a committee has been formed at Dartmouth to look at grade inflation.

Jerry Seinfeld doesn't like to play college campuses.  They're "too PC."

Ed Driscoll at PJ Media looks at the back and forth ensuing in the wake of Edward Schlosser's Vox piece on how he's a libbo yet it's his lefty students who "terrify" him.

David French at NRO on the ire of the jackboots raining down on Northwestern's Laura Kipnis - a libbo feminist who dared stray from the orthodoxy.

There will be a quiz.
