A seasoned professor compares today's left-wing demonstrators to their predecessors in the 1960s, unfavorably.

Why the Baby Boomer radicals were successful and Occupy failed and BLM is flailing.

"They know how to read but don't read."

I'm not sure if he's saying the glass is half empty, or half full.

A lot of my college students couldn’t read to the end of a 140 character tweet.

[baltimorepoet]

Its much easier to read 140-character tweets and burn books than read books.

You could always count on the hippies/commies protesting the government. But now they are the government.

"... And there was a time in this country, a long time ago, when reading wasn't just for fags and neither was writing. People wrote books and movies, movies that had stories so you cared whose ass it was and why it was farting, and I believe that time can come again!"

[Billthedrill]

I remember sthe “old” New Left as some of the most ignorant people I’d ever met and the ones who stayed Left stayed ignorant. Not saying the current crop aren’t worse, but it’s a pretty low bar.

“This is a post-literacy generation,” Peter Wood of the National Association of Scholars (NAS) said recently at the Heritage Foundation. “They know how to read but don’t read.”

Or, to cut to the chase, “This is a generation of lazy dumb-asses. They should know how to think, but they choose not to do so.”

I just assumed most all protesters in the US are not well read.

Millennial Protesters Aren’t Well-Read

Most can't read, courtesy of our education system and social promotions.

[yuleeyahoo]

A person who won’t read has no advantage over one who can’t read.

[BenLurkin]

They figure they don’t need to read, so long as they snicker at the correct triggers.

I mentioned Calvin Coolidge to one millennial (and this is someone with a post graduate degree) and he reflexively giggled. But was nonplussed when I asked the reason. He couldn’t understand why I didn’t see the very mention of Coolidge as humor in and of itself.

[Buckeye McFrog]

He did not want to get mobbed on Facebook.

Social Media was invented by Liberals to herd the sheeple and beat down dissent.

[Pirate Ragnar]

It is not just the radical left that is ill educated, semi-illiterate and not capable of critical thinking. Form your own conclusions.

[Resolute Conservative]

I heard a 40 year old idiot this morning on our local radio show spouting off for Bernie. He was clueless. Just kept saying, “he speaks for our generation”.

[PAR35]

He did not want to get mobbed on Facebook.

The terrorists aren't going to mob me on Facebook.

[fuzzylogic]

The new New Left: control social media.

The best way to crush dissent in this age. I never thought I’d see people being cowards because they didn’t want to be “crushed on Facebook”. Wow.

[IamConservative]

If you have a smartphone, the answer to about anything is one click away. What young kids are missing by not reading and working to understand something, vs doing the Google click and get, is development of critical thinking skills.

[MrEdd]

1960s protesters weren’t well read either.

I see a trend.
