[lbo-talk] How Much Do College Students Learn, and Study?

[Carrol Cox]

My question marks referred mostly to the period 1945-1980: decades in which
the attitudes of the vast majority of undergrads were identical to the
attitudes in the '80s.

The media has always lied about the '60s. After all, YAF really took off in
the '60s And SDS + fellow travelers was  VERY tiny element of campuses, even
at the height of its membership.

There is some awfully powerful false glamorization of some alleged golden
age going on in this thread.

It was the zeitgeist Carrol. 

Cocaine (the power drug) replaced marijuana.

Talk of leveling the playing field was replaced by talk of "getting yours."

And the po-mos replaced talk of history and revolution with a-historical
anthropological talk of how everything was relative.

And the unions were crushed.

Joanna: "at the point where a concern for justice was entirely replaced by a
concern for power (early eighties), . . ."
