Defining People

October 25th, 2010 § Leave a Comment

In The Chronicle of Higher Education, Thomas Benton writes, “People resent professors even more when they seem to attack the institutions that give people’s lives meaning, such as the military, the church, and the traditional family.”

Many things can be said about this remarkable statement. For now, just one.

Thank you, Thomas Benton, for letting us know that those who critique “the military, the church, and the traditional family” are not “people.”
