Because they’re filled with angry, bitter, hateful profs.

I had the time of my life. Got to march in the U of Ark band and we went to the 1978 Orange Bowl in Miami.

That was so fun. Hard work but so fun. We had NYE off. Whew, girls were everywhere. I had a GREAT night.

They are taught to hate America and have an angry victim mentality.

“You deserve better. You’re a victim. Nothing is your fault.”Exactly correct. It is the leftists plan of action in our Universities.

1. Divide based on race, religion, language, culture, sex, regions etc.
2. Make each group feel they are a victim. That is easy with the young and unwise. By making them into victims they then have an excuse for their own failures due to being lazy or intellectually not prepared for university level courses. Oddly the most discrimanated group of students are bright motivated Asian students with very high college entrance scores. Their admission rates are far below what they should be if based on exam scores and grades an ability and closely followed by whites with similar merits.
3. Make each divided group feel they must have reparations for the inequities that they suffer in their minds.
4. Alienate them from their traditional families they came from and those values to remove their checks on what is proper and not. Thus acts of political violence are not wrong but noble.
5. 1-2-3-4 have made them angry and easily manipulated by the hierarchy of the left. The hierarchy are always well educated, intelligent and extreme leftist Marxists, some are very rich like George Soros and the WEF people. They regard those they manipulate as useful idiots that are disposable.

That is what the professors in our universities teach our students. Saul Alinsky spelled it all out in his book "Rules for Radicals."

In the late 60s in our universities the kids were into drugs, sex, rock and roll and praying they not be drafted to fight in Vietnam. The leftist disease of Berkley had not infected all the major universities then. It has now. Here in Texas many of us call Austin the home of The University of Texas, "Berkley on the Colorado." The Colorado river runs through the city. Austin is hopelessly left. I once considered Austin the "Greatest Little City in the USA." It is no longer that.
