Guy named Arthur C Brooks on Morning Joe. Sorry about watching that even briefly. It's on Lawrence when I go to bed, and I just turn it on to the previous channel while I'm feeding the pets and making my coffee.

He's from Harvard, and it turns out he's conservative, and those were his actual words, that there is way too much activism currently and for the past few years on college campuses. He wants those young people to sit down and shut up and listen to their professors and find their spouses. My paraphrase. And he and dear Joe are talking about how few college professors are conservative. Well there's a reason for that, same as there's a reason more education is associated with moving to the left.

Anyway, that woke me up a little faster than I really like being woken up, and I'm now going back to the pets and the coffee. That particular little statement and conversation just annoyed me enough to say something about it.
