At trial, she was acquitted and she later ran for vice president of the U.S. on the Communist Party ticket. She also served as a professor at University of California-Santa Cruz's History of Consciousness Department and chaired the school's Feminist Studies Department before retiring.

I thought communists never retired.

As an unrepentant member of the Communist Party USA she supported the optimistic politicide of over 100 million people around the world.

This traitor continues to be the darling of the academic left. I hope this ends badly for her.

Optimistic about how nice the world would look after all the white people are shotgunned to death.

Now that the DemocRATS have made communism “wildly popular” in this country, I can see why there still are people who worship this ditz.

I really think schools of higher education shouldn’t offer majors unless there is some hope of getting a job using your skillset when you graduate.

A communist is hardly an “optimist”

What a pitiful, pandering “choice’ People need to start being terminated for crap like this

UCLA is very pro-communist. She is just part of the fraternity of fellow Marxists.

The Czechs will never forget her. The Soviet Union sponsored a publicity tour of the Warsaw Pact and Soviet Union, in which they puffed her up for months with their propaganda organs.

So when she visited Czechoslovakia, she was approached by the wives of dissidents who had been imprisoned and tortured, and they asked her to intercede on behalf of the political prisoners.

She was deeply offended, and loudly complained that there are no political prisoners in the East, and if their husbands and fathers were in prison, it was because they were criminals who should feel the full force of the law.

Even the authoritarian Czech government was embarrassed by her outburst, at least enough to not arrest the women.

And I thought California had a law against Communists and seditionists teaching in California schools (something recently repealed by pinko Democrats).
