Best Henninger Ever?

In case you missed it, this could be the greatest Dan Henninger column ever and that is saying something (even better than the "Let Them Eat Wind" column).  Just a few tidbits to entice you to RTWT...
No one could possibly count the compromises of intellectual honesty made on American campuses to reach this point. It is fantastic that the liberal former head of Berkeley should have to sign a Maoist self-criticism to be able to speak at Haverford. Meet America's Red Guards.
and
Years ago, today's middle-aged liberals embraced in good faith ideas such as that the Western canon in literature or history should be expanded to include Africa, Asia, Native Americans and such. Fair enough. The activist academic left then grabbed the liberals' good faith and wrecked it, allowing the nuttiest professors to dumb down courses and even whole disciplines into tendentious gibberish. 
as I said, RTWT.
