Allah and Talibani at Yale

Yes, the alma mater of William F. Buckley has enrolled a former official of the Taliban and considers itself lucky to have landed the former terrorist.

Are there no limits to how arrogant and out-of-touch America's Ivy League schools can get? Last week it emerged that Sayed Rahmatullah Hashemi, former deputy foreign secretary of the Taliban, is now a student at Yale while at the same time the school continues to block ROTC training from its campus and argues for the right of its law school to exclude military recruiters. King George's troops played the music to "The World Turned Upside Down" as they surrendered at Yorktown. Perhaps the Ivy League should adopt that tune as they surrender all vestiges of common sense.

To give you an idea of how far the academy has fallen, Sayed Rahmatullah Hashemi has a fourth grade education and is pulling a 3.3 gpa from Yale.
