Institutional decay

In the good old days, youngsters used to go to university to learn and be exposed to people from different backgrounds with different views. The row over the Rhodes statue shows how the times have changed; and that’s a row promoted by an African guy who comes across as a racialist of the worst sort with a sense of entitlement.
    Yes, the row over the Rhodes statue – that’s Cecil Rhodes, not Caesar Rhodes, as some academic underachiever thought – proves that students go to university now to have their childish prejudices reinforced and to lurk in “safe” areas where they won’t be required to think for themselves. Very sad, really.
