Everyone who reads this blog (I am generously assuming that I have multiple readers...) knows that I am mystified by academics who respond so well to thoroughly establishment figures when they talk about transformation and radical change. How will the Director of a government-funded and foundation-funded STEM Education Initiative, a person with countless establishment awards, saying all of the buzzwords that establishment figures cherish, actually shake anything up?
Well, consider the Trump campaign. Marvel at all of the social conservatives who are flocking to the campaign of a casino owner who is on his third marriage. Look upon the cultural conservatives who rail against east coast elitists as they cheer for a Manhattan billionaire. Look at the people who consider this billionaire the voice of the common man.
Now do you get it?
