Moonbat Professor Explains Halloween

Posted by Dave Blount at October 31, 2007 8:13 AM

It must be Halloween, because academics have been creeping out of their lairs, blinking at the unfamiliar daylight, scratching themselves in unseemly places, fumbling around like zombies, and condescendingly explaining our culture to us. Assistant Professor of Cultural Anthropology and African & African American Studies Anne-Maria Makhulu of Duke University lectures that we celebrate witchcraft out of a desire for equality:

When people say they believe in magical forces, they believe in magic that can make the world equal and just in circumstances where it's not […] witchcraft is about recuperating what is ethical, just and moral. We need enchantment in our lives because our world has become disenchanted. We need faith that promises something bigger and better than what we have.

Of course, acknowledging God is out of the question.

I'm guessing that what is "ethical, just and moral" to Prof. Makhulu might look a lot like militant moonbattery to others. She is a member of the Duke 88, a frighteningly large group of irresponsible Duke professors who formed a lynch mob that publicly clamored for the heads of the racially railroaded lacrosse players.

Makhulu is teaching a course on magic and capitalism. Talk about voodoo economics. By the way, tuition at Duke is $35,856 a year.
