The first academic semester of 2020 has only recently gotten underway, and colleges and universities around the country seem to be competing with one another in a feverish race to prove which is most committed to advancing the prevailing leftist dogma of the day.
The College Fix, a student-led campus watchdog publication, is an excellent resource for anyone interested in keeping apprised of the current scene in academia. It’s a particularly invaluable source for parents who are considering investing tens of thousands of dollars into their children’s “education.”
Consider:
At Dartmouth College, an institution that charges $75,000 a year in tuition, students have recently had their classes interrupted by a “Green New Deal” activist. A young woman to whom, out of “courtesy,” The Dartmouth Review refers simply as “Katie,” has spent months disrupting lectures for the purpose of promoting the causes—like the Green New Deal, as well as “free” education and Medicare for all—advanced by the Sunrise Movement and the New Hampshire Youth Movement (NHYM) by which she’s employed.
The NHYM is affiliated with the Sunrise Movement. Unsurprisingly, both are doctrinaire left-wing organizations. “Katie” insists that students are to support only those politicians who “support our values.” As to the nature of those values, there is no doubt, to judge from the card that “Katie” disseminates to students.
There is space on the cards in which students are to supply not only their personal contact information, but, by way of checking off a series of boxes, indicate their political priorities. “I’m voting on February 11th for…” is listed at the top. Beneath that are the following issues: “Immigrant Justice;” “Racial Justice;” “Green New Deal;” “Free College for All;” “Voting Rights;” “Medicare for All;” “LGBTQIAP + Rights;” “Affordable Housing;” “Reproductive Rights;” and “Other.”

As bad as this is, while we weren’t looking the leftist bastards have managed to get that horrific piece of anti-american propaganda “Project 1619” into over 3000 schools.
I even saw a promo for it on The History Channel.
The only thing missing is the black shirt and the swastika arm band.
Cheap debt, guaranteed by Fed.gov, is paying for it.
Waiting for Trump to end the debt enslavement and indoctrination of American kids due to government and the academic-industrial complex.
Trump funding more vocational schooling directs a lot of kids to technical schools instead of getting professional grievance degrees at university. However, parents need to review school reputations and neither send their kids to left wing dominated schools OR let their kids join majors that turn out professional activists.
The ptoblem is, many of the kids are being directed by their parents to the communist indoctrination centers. Or they’re just given carte blanche to choose their own school while Mom and Dad pick up the check.
A pastor of mine met with some local university professors about starting a bible study. One of them said she’d join in two years, after getting tenure. She wouldn’t get tenure if it were known she was a Christian.
There are 3 areas that are never addressed in regard to this. If state institutions people have to put pressure on their legislatures & whoever appoints the governing boards. Then pressure through the alumni associations. This pressure has to be applied in who gets appointed as school president.
if private institutions alumni need to get on the governing boards & exert pressure through their alumni associations.
Do not be put off by the answer “Its for the children!”
