Hancock’s latest outrage is up on Deseret News:

Vulgar Elitism and Empty Populism

Here is a quick teaser:

A college professor recently defended speech codes and regulations that discriminate against moral and religious conservatives on campuses by explaining that “students have been indoctrinated for the first 18 years of their lives by their parents and by their churches; we only have four years to undo the damage.” This professor’s words express a common attitude, not only among academics, that is rarely stated with such candor. It expresses perfectly what I mean by “vulgar elitism.”
