The accretion of communism is demographic. The Institute of Social Research was planted at Teachers College. It takes time for those people to produce the number of students dedicated to overthrowing a pre-existing culture, and each of those could only tolerate so much deflection. Each of those cohorts produced new professors at other teachers colleges. Those teachers radicalized student populations which then fed back into the universities. It's a generational ratcheting effect.

It took 30 years for the schools to produce students ready to be radicalized by the likes of Herbert Marcuse. Not a few became professors, who raised the generation now in positions of academic power. For that mechanic to be so uniform took a lot of retirements.

Great evaluation in Post #4 on what's occurred to higher education. I'm somewhat surprised that the hippies who started it's ruination are now considered too stodgy and establishment by the succeeding generation. Reaping what they sowed and not liking the taste (LOL).

Writer Frank Friday wrote "Some Muslims -- those from the Balkans, or the Kurds, like the great Enes Kanter Freedom, fit well in America. They share, as Pres. Lincoln said, "the moral sentiment" of the Founding Fathers".

He apparently didn't get the memo that Sharia Law supersedes all other laws, treaties and constitutions, and those who disagree are apostates or unbelievers deserving of death.

We all need to stay aware of that yet not lose our heads over it.
