Did 'they' take over, or did 'we' abdicate that field to 'them'?

I maintain it is as much the latter as it is the former. And for that, shame on 'us'!
The hippies turned into professors, got tenured, and trained herds of lib teachers. They just emerged around you and other straight-thinkig educators like psilocybin mushrooms in cow patties after a rain.
