What an Upper!: Marc Levin at Frontpage Magazine tells the tale of Professor bell hooks (yes, bell hooks) giving a commencement speech at Southwestern University. It's not a pretty story. "Unlike most commencement speeches that are optimistic and unifying, hooks' condemned many members of her audience, urged them to disregard the future because caring about the future is a capitalist construct, bemoaned the so-called patriarchy, slammed the war on terrorism, and equated conservatism with murder." The only good part was that "she was widely and repeatedly booed by a stunned audience of parents and graduates". She was lucky no one threw anything.
