Non Neocon

The Chicago Reader, a free weekly, ran an article that mentioned the course my wife is co-facilitating at Shimer College. The reporter does a decent job with her factual reporting on the course, but the headline is amusingly wrong:

Who's Buying Shimer?
A former student follows the money behind the new neoconservative bent at the local Great Books college.

My wife's friends had a good chuckle over the idea that she was neocon.

I don't know much about the other focus of the article, the "buying" of Shimer. It sounds like the college recently took on new funding and new board members. But the article does nothing to flesh out the neocon angle.

Perhaps in a certain ideological frame
all non-progressives look exactly the same.
