Jane Mayer is a writer for the New Yorker who knows her audience. It consists mostly of elitist progressives who like hearing that their enlightened transformation of America is imperiled by greedy conservative villains. She has written lots of articles and most recently a book entitled Dark Money on that theme.
The February 26, 2016 issue of Chronicle Review (the companion publication to the Chronicle of Higher Education, but much more overtly political) contains an essay drawn from that book, “How Right-Wing Billionaires Infiltrated Higher Education.”
To leftist readers, that’s certain to sound terrifying. Higher education, after all, is supposed to be the domain of highly intelligent, far-sighted, compassionate scholars — the sort of people they admire. Those scholars do wonderful work by teaching “progressive” values to college students and helping them cast off the atavistic right-wing notions that many have absorbed in their homes.

Leftist Billionaires like Bill Gates are Infiltrating Education.
Research Common Core.
Yeah, the “right wing” might want to have them learn readin’ writin’ and ‘rithmatic...They might have to drop LGBT studies and “safe space” orientation programs...
How sad..../s
My wife who was born in Mexico heard more anti-American hate in college than anywhere else.
They are graduating Democrat votes as their first priority.
Most outrageous was the leftist lesbian Professor teaching Psychology at Santa Monica College who was in charge of that department.
She was so hateful of men and would tell people in class that Christians were F’d in the head every class.
The degrees that left are pushing, environmentalism, minority studies, womens studies, etc. are not going to provide high paying jobs if at all.
Because it would be right wing billionaires, it makes sense that it would be higher education.
I’d stay away from college except for technical/occupational training.
We’re living in an age where the godless Socialists have utterly commandeered every American institution, including elementary and secondary education via the Nazi-like state teacher’s unions who have replaced true education with deliberate brainwashing, lies, and fantasy.
As with all those in long-term institutional power, they are petrified that their reign will be overturned by those who love the truth. Those in power, like the Left, will continue their reign of terror any way they can because they have utterly lost sight of their original purpose and only care money, prestige, and continuance of their position.
We are seeing how America, the “new world”, is going through through the same historical cycle as the “old world” ending with those too long in institutional power finally overrun by those who hate them.
AWAY WITH EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM, but NOT by the lawless and bloody Jacobeans or Bolsheviks, but by God-loving, freedom-loving, and peace-loving Americans who hold dear their Constitution which they intend to reinstate as the Supreme Law of the Land.
“they are petrified that their reign will be overturned by those who love the truth.”
That’s exactly why I keep saying that they can’t afford to be honest.
They are telling us what THEY DID in the 60/70/80 and even in the 90s.
Right wing billionaires...these people are as dumb as a box of rocks.
