Another NPR story was about professors at Southern Methodist University objecting to having the GW Bush presidential papers in a new library. They worry that Bush doesn't reflect the values of the University, and are afraid that diversity of opinion will be injured. (Apparently without any cognitive dissonance, too.) I'd have expected they'd be happy that there could be a cottage industry of researchers finding the roots of all the disasters he was responsible for (not all scholars would work through the terrifying "independent institution"). But perhaps they're afraid a researcher might find out Bush was right about something, and they don't want to think about that frightening possibility.
