TV actress Leah Remini renounced Scientology last week. I assume
she’s looking back on the past decade and wondering what she was
thinking. I know how she feels. I was also a member of a cult. It’s
called liberal arts.
Getting a BA in English lit and taking all the insane lefty electives
that surround it is a great way to spend tons of money getting
brainwashed. Before I went to college, I had common sense. I believed
women are fundamentally different than men and I didn’t think everything
is racist. It took them four years to convince me otherwise and about
twice that long to recover. (This was in the early 90s before LGBT
persecution took over the lexicon.)
Liberal-arts programs don’t point out why angry young men are being
irrational. They tell us we’re not angry enough. Professors believe the
customer is always right, so they provide kids courses on Sticking it to
the Man. We wanted to blow minds with radical ideas, but our professors
outdid us every time. I was sorta pro-choice as a teen, but my
professor went a step farther by telling us it was OK to have an
abortion up until a year after the baby was born.
All you needed to do to be outrageous in college was quote your
teachers. By the time you get your diploma, you are convinced the
Western world is run by rapists from the KKK. We learned to be offended
on behalf of others, and how they felt about the matter wasn’t even
important. If they didn’t agree with our crusade, they needed more
“education.” That’s the same cure for people who resist Scientology:
more Scientology.
