No one who calls themselves an academic should ever fold to a "loyalty oath," no matter what vague risks to funding they might face. It goes against everything higher education and academic freedom stands for.

Evening viewing recommendation? Watch THEY LIVE (1988).

A subversive science-fiction satire, Carpenter's antiestablishment classic boasts one of the greatest fight scenes ever, as well as Piper's immortal line: "I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass... and I'm all out of bubblegum."
