Unfortunately, this has been going on for decades. They just don’t camouflage it any more. Brazen, no shame, outright hateful Marxists at full speed. A society headed for chaos, collapse or both. Sanity will return after much hell is paid. Oh, but what a price to pay for sleeping on duty....
daughter went to WPI an engineering school. She took some core requirements Philosophy and theology. Both classes started with half the weeks devoted to Marx. Why this school seemed to think they knew anything about this topic or any topic other than engineering is beyond me. But they do let in a disproportionate number of black and Hispanic kids who get non engineering degrees. And of course they are worth nothing. But that is what they pay for the education so it all works out.
