From The\u00a0Tom Woods Letter<\/a>:<\/p>\n

I just got an early Christmas present from, of all people, rapper Talib Kweli.<\/p>\n

This is the guy who tried to have what I guess he thought was a conversation with me about state nullification. I pointed out the ways the abolitionists used states\u2019 rights to fight against slavery. He had obviously never heard this before.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll be shocked\u00a0to learn that he didn\u2019t exactly respond with, \u201cThat\u2019s really interesting. Hey, whatever works to fight slavery, I\u2019m on board with!\u201d<\/p>\n

Anyway, here is his gift to me:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After a thousand people pointed out his error, he fell back on the old Soviet line, which I don\u2019t think anyone has seriously advanced since the 1960s: why, the Wall was an \u201canti-fascist barrier\u201d!<\/p>\n

\n<\/span>Now a few readers will try to spoil my fun by saying, \u201cWoods, who cares about this guy? Why bother?\u201d<\/p>\n

Well, (1) because it\u2019s innocent fun.<\/p>\n

And (2), as any of you who have seen him interacting with our folks on Twitter well know, the guy is certifiable, accusing people of all races of being \u201cwhite supremacists\u201d and \u201cNazi lovers.\u201d So this couldn\u2019t happen to a more deserving guy.<\/p>\n

Now I\u2019ll grant: Talib\u2019s is a special case of educational malpractice.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>But we\u2019ve all suffered from it.<\/p>\n

The fact that grown flower children are now in effect demanding the foreign-policy advice of Henry Kissinger and Hillary Clinton likewise suggests something is seriously wrong.<\/p>\n

How about learning from me, and from other professors I trust?<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the solution to educational malpractice.<\/p>\n
