So you may ask, why these scholars rather than others who are arguably at least as harmful? Great question. The answer is that the most harmful scholars on this list were easier to identify since they chose themselves by creating a list of the top 15 most harmful books of the 20th century. To see why the scholars are harmful rather than the books, see their hysterical list at:

Always wary about the tremendous harm that scholars inflict upon the public, our bloggence recommends that these 15 scholars be invited to speak at your next gathering, where they can be if not enlightened, then properly ridiculed.
