My older daughter had been attending the University of California, Irvine, with a major in psychology. (UCI is the home of Francisco Ayala and militant anti-Semitic  Muslim students whose Jew-hatred is ignored and therefore de facto endorsed by the administration.) This has been all over the news for many months.

After a semester of “study” (I looked at the books she was being forced to read, and it was all pitiful speculation encased in endless references and high-sounding academic language) she decided that she did not want to waste her life on this stuff, and transferred to a course in medical nursing, where she could do something worthwhile with her life.

Oh NOES! A student being forced to read books with references and academic language in it! The world comes to an end, I tell you!

Maybe its just me but I was amused by the fact that in his very next comment he praises a cartoon as the turning point in his life. If only psychology books were available in cartoon form as well!

You might be interested to know that it was this daughter, when she was five years old in 1994, for whom I bought a cartoon video entitled “The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe,” with no idea who C.S. Lewis was.

Thus began an amazing series of events that transformed my life
, infinitely for the better, as I was liberated from 43 years of the hideous darkness of atheistic nihilism.
