re: #103 Decatur Deb

To maintain the record, the OTHER Charles Johnson is a fellow of the Claremont Institute and graduate of one of the (not quite associated) Claremont colleges.

Most of the Claremont Colleges are great institutions. My spouse is a Harvey Mudd (ranked up with Caltech and MIT for science & engineering) alum, Pitzer is very well regarded among environmental and natural scientists, and Scripps is one of the top “women’s colleges” in the nation. Most of the Five Campus community tries to distance itself from Claremont McKenna (Rage Furby’s “libertarian think tank alma mater” which has its own rich history of pay-for-A scandals and grade inflation) as much as they can.

Harry Jaffa, the Goldwater speechwriter and libertarian “philosopher” who co-founded the Claremont Institute, taught at Claremont McKenna.
