In today's State News, The Michigan State student newspaper,
columnist Nate Sherman opines

"Leftists have tried fervently since the 1960s to subvert American
culture by promoting cultural heresies, which really only amount to a
form of subversion. These cultural heresies include but are not
limited to: Radical feminism, sexual deviancy, multilingualism and
atheism."

Now you damned multilinguals out there know where you belong. You are
known by the company you keep. We're watching you!
