Midge Decter continues...

"[Clinton] is the grade inflation president: Not very good is good enough for him. And good enough for the best universities in the land. And good enough for all too many of us in other places. He is the deconstructionist president. Words have no fixed meaning, and anything is as true as anything else. It all depends on which meaning you wish or need to use..... Bring him to heel and the message will be it's time for the country to clean up its act. In other words, it's time for the teachers to teach, for the parents to parent, for the nonsense that nowadays passes for higher education to return to its former obscurity in the cafes of Paris. Time for the educated young women to take the chips off their shoulder [sic] and admit how many they long to reinstate men into a place of primary significance in their lives, and yes, time for porn to be returned to the dusty shelves from which it has been taken."

Away with uppity chicks, porn, and deconstruction - the ills of the postmodern world!
