"Accuracy in Academia"

Caught this in a pro-Horowitz article:

“Houston, we have a problem,” said Sol Stern, an education policy analyst at the Manhattan Institute. According to Stern there is a real need for legislation, like the Academic Bill of Rights, to end political indoctrination. He notes that in New York City where he resides, even the names of schools are politically biased.

“In Brooklyn, there are two schools named after Paul Robeson,” Stern said. “The last Republican to have a school named after him was Teddy Roosevelt.”


NY schools named after Republicans:

PS 121 NELSON A ROCKEFELLER

FIORELLO H. LAGUARDIA HIGH SCHOOL OF MUSIC AND ART AND PERFORMING ARTS

PS 205 FIORELLO LAGUARDIA

PS 014 SEN JOHN CALANDRA


PS 160 WALT DISNEY

And don't forget JOHN WAYNE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Damn you, New York liberals! We need more stuff named after Rockefeller and LaGuardia!
