Been There, Done That…

Because he’s good at publicity, many are aware of David Horowitz’ Damascine conversion from red-diaper baby to conservative gadfly, but this morning’s Insight has an interview with Ronald Radosh, a formerly leftist historian who has seen the light as a result of his experiences and research (including his book on the Rosenbergs).

Good for a read, particularly his description of the radicalization of academia, most particularly in the English and History departments–a situation with which many parents are too unaware as they send their kids off to college for their political reeducation/indoctrination.

He also mentions what a hive of leftists the historical societies have become, particularly pertinent in the situation with Michael Bellesiles shoddy (and probably biased), if not outright fraudulent scholarship on gun usage in America.
