Dinesh D'Souza: Antifa is a direct outcome of university education
WND ^ | 7/30/2020 | WND Staff

Posted on 07/31/2020 8:42:30 AM PDT by Zenyatta

In an interview with Candace Owens, author and filmmaker Dinesh D'Souza said the violence by Antifa radicals and others in response to the death of George Floyd is a direct result of progressive indoctrination at America's colleges and universities.

"Academia is the theory, and Antifa is the practice," D'Souza said on "The Candace Owens Show."

Discussing his new book "United States of Socialism: Who's Behind It. Why It's Evil. How to Stop It," D'Souza was responding to Owens' comment that America has "replaced a solid education system with psychological conditioning."

Students are being taught "anti-Americanism," she said, graduating with a hatred for Western civilization and capitalism.

The Marxists gained control of the education system years ago and turned it into an indoctrination system.

Simple: close down a lot of the liberal arts colleges.

Immediately fire every Professor, Teacher, and Administrator who teaches, advocates for, and encourages the teaching Anti- Americanism. And/ or promotes Communism and Socialism.

When I went to school, some of us still found it fashionable to challenge the higher authorities’ take on things.

Somehow, the current generation seems to strive for a unique identity while gobbling all the garbage they are fed.

Mrs. Yo-Yo and I raised two boys and put them through college. Both are staunch conservatives because we taught them to think for themselves.

Antifa is a direct result of parents who didn’t raise their kids, they let the school system raise them.

It starts in Pre-K.

Nearly every teacher in this nation was trained by godless Marxists in Marxist-run universities. This is true for both private and government schools.

Dinesh D'Souza: Antifa is a direct outcome of university education

High school kids don't magically get turned into left-wing radicals after four years of college. It happens over the years of K-12 education - college is just the icing and verbiage. The public school system has been abandoned to leftists since the '70s.

The road back to sanity for America begins with reclaiming the public school system - running away from the problem by home-schooling and private-schooling does not change the fact that our kids will grow up to live in a world filled with Portland rioters educated in the public school system.

I would leave liberal arts only to the big colleges. People would be better off with skills training instead.

Re: solution

....If a job didn’t need a college degree in 1950 or 1970, it doesn’t need one now. Encourage businesses to hire bright young adults by means of internships and SAT or ACT scores. Workman compensation companies already likely know the level of literacy and numeracy needed to do a job safely both for the employee and customer.

...Get kids out of the K-12 schools sooner.
Allow anyone of **any** age to take the GED. If they pass give them an official diploma from their local high school. An alternative would be if they score above a certain score on the he SAT or ACT give them an official high school diploma. Let these kids get on with their work careers.

...Free or nearly free education exists **now**. What is missing is certification. Encourage private organizations and businesses to develop private testing to prove proficiency in a particular field. The ACT and SAT exist now to prove literacy and numeracy.

We are now seeing that the feminist movement starting in the early 60s was, to a minor part, about women’s equality and to a major part Marxism and revolution.

There is a model to follow, I don’t think it will sound very nice but... Mao killed the educated, after using them for his revolution. Making a laborer a doctor and a doctor as a slave or death. Pol Pot did they same, he killed all those who needed glasses and were educated. I suppose it would be contacts now also.
