Santa Clara, an Alumnus Would Like a Word
Four generations of Corrigans have been educated by the Jesuits at Santa Clara University. Naomi Epps Best's expose of her graduate class was gobsmacking, sordid and sad ('Santa Clara University's Crazy Idea of Human Sexuality,' op-ed, June 7). I applaud her for courageously revealing the profane underbelly of the 'critical theory' method of teaching. She has helpfully revealed what is happening behind the portieres in these classrooms.
As William F. Buckley Jr. relayed in his seminal book 'God and Man at Yale' (1951), 'the alumni haven't the slightest idea what is going on' at these schools. That raises the question: What role do I have in what is taught on campus? Buckley again chimes in about alumni, writing that the school 'is glad to settle for their money and to eschew their counsel.' Here's the deal: No voice, no money.
