Philosopher, husband, dad, teacher, "leftist," potty-mouth, and pedagogical chaos agent. Aspiring to be the C.M. Punk of higher education. Distinguished, or so I'm told.

  1. I don't know if it's my proudest parenting achievement, but convincing my kids that I possess "Dad Magic" has to be up there.

    (When I can do something effortlessly my kids can't do at all— like change TP—and I don't want to explain how to do it for a variety of reasons, I just use my Dad Magic.)

  2. It is like having a team of Ph.D.-level experts in your pocket only insofar as it stole staggering amounts of text from Ph.D.s (including me). Other than that, it’s still nothing more than asking autocorrect how to make a burrito.

  3. P.S. I’m not saying that Hillsdale or Hillsdale faculty shouldn’t have a view on human flourishing or that they shouldn’t share it with students. I think they should!

    The issue is when that view is the only view on offer. Students everywhere need a range of views to consider and learn from.

  4. This report is WILDIN’.

    “Hillsdale” is literally the 10th word of the report proper, and that’s only if you count “18-year-olds” as three separate words.

    If we don’t take virtue and flourishing seriously in higher ed, we’re going to lose it to ideologues.
