Elise Stefanik has penned a new book, Poisoned Ivies: The Inside Account of the Academic and Moral Rot at America’s Elite Universities, which should attract our attention, if only because it represents her attempt to build upon her widely seen performance at congressional hearings that led to departures of prominent academic leaders. But what really caused me to take notice was this review in the Chronicle of Higher Education by Alex Bronzini-Vender, who is still an undergraduate at Harvard. I’d say he’s a bit unfair to progressives in his characterization of certain ideas as “woke.” But it’s in the service of getting us to think hard about what Stefanik is doing, and its a bravura performance for someone still in college.
