Celebrating The Self

Mr. Powers asks whether SDSU should sponsor the Vagina Monologues.  I say SDSU can do whatever it wants.  Whether it is wise or not, perhaps hear Robert George speak on liberal education and then ask whether something like the Vagina Monologues actually helps us in our quest to educate free people ruled by reason, not desire.  While you are at it, the entire event in which George participated, a Manhattan Institute symposium on Allan Bloom's Closing of the American Mind, can be seen here.  If nothing else, take some time and hear Mark Steyn speak on music and culture.  It is remarkable if only because it contains one of the worst introductions I have ever witnessed.  Do yourself a favor and skip the first seven minutes of the video and get right to Steyn. I have previously linked to Steyn's New Criterion article based on this talk.
