Phyllis Schlafly beats back the 136 half-feral cats who live in her kitchen just long enough to croak out a Dire Warning to young, impressionable college students: do not become English majors.
When I visit college campuses, students for years have been telling me that the English departments are the most radicalized of all departments, more so than sociology, psychology, anthropology, or even women's studies.
Which is pretty standard wingnut shrieking. But Schlafly is nothing if not willing to push the envelope:
That's why it was no surprise that Cho Seung-Hui, the murderer of 32 students and teachers at Virginia Tech, was an English major.
Phyllis Schlafly: a major voice of the contemptible, batty, right-wing lunatic fringe since roughly 1803.
