The Hidden Ruler of American Intellectual Life
Farah's biography is just stunning because he led a life of a parapetetic third world revolutionary propagandist. And then it somehow despite his ideas failing everywhere he tried to implement them and the third world revolutionary societies, he's been pulled as a key influence in the American educational system. So I think it's just such a unique symbol of of of idiocy of the American intellectual class that they would take someone with such an abysmal track record, elevate him into an American hero.
