What we're seeing now is the result of the March to Academia that started in the 1970s and concluded in the 1990s. History, English and Sociology departments have been overtaken by racialist Neo-Marxists who have inculcated what amounts to a new religion.
Traditionally, conservatives have avoided the Arts and Humanities as a field of study because they don't promise big payouts. And this got us to where we are now; we got MBAs, they got Professorships and shaped a generation of zombies. Right now, it seems like we are (all Conservatives not just Freepers) complaining about it but not actually doing anything. The opposition is much more organized and uniform than we are. The stats of people under 40 who felt the riots were "justified expressions of rage at centuries of oppression" are terrifying. It seems like we are headed for partition. What could be done to reverse it at this point? Is there any optimism here because I could use some.
Siri says 8 percent of Americans have three or more years of college completed. Seems low but that’s what she said.
Stop. For just a minute and put all of this in context.
How has any of this rioting crap affected you?
Is it going on where you live? Or close to you?
Are you “seeing” this, or is it being presented to you on a screen using words and images designed to explicitly incite a reaction?
Isn’t it amusing that this “revolution” is going on all over TV and the internet but your city is not in turmoil? Your town is not on fire? 300+ million people in the country cannot point to a single incident that they know of personally?
All of this talk of civil war and race war is a carefully crafted psy-op.
Don’t fall for it.
Yes, so that no child is left behind from their bolshevik brainwashing.
A quick search turned up...”Among Americans between the ages of 25 to 34, 37 percent have at least a bachelor’s degree. “
College grads may have a disproportionate amount of power, I don’t know.
But as I mentioned not all those with degrees get indoctrinated. We didn’t. Sure they tried.
I am just saying don’t panic. Work for change, sure.
They want to destroy us and are dedicated to doing just that. There is no compromise with such evil.
Disable the cell phone system.
These people will melt.
Well I did personally see protests but they were small in scale and peaceful. But it’s the complete lack of concern at statues being torn down and and non stop burbling about “anti-racism” on social media.
A young black woman posted a long account of “devastating racism” she had just experienced...turns out some white girl made a comment about her hair. There was an endless supply of commiseration and calls for an “End to Racism” etc. I do know a lot of young people talking about this sort of thing. It obsesses them.
Anarchism is nothing new in America. Neither is the Marxist threat. Islamic-fascism on our soil is relatively new. Seems the biggest threat we may face is that those forces now have an unprecedented level of communication, and tools of propaganda.
The silent majority is somewhat to blame for being silent for so long and letting this happen. We should have been more active in school board meetings and knowing just what was going into the curriculum.
No one wants to hear this, but it took decades to get us into this hole, and it’s going to take decades to get us out, if we can get out.
What needs to be done? Nothing less than taking back our public schools. It’s going to take dedicated, widespread, and persistent activism to beat back the radicals. And in places where we are outnumbered, then we will simply have to take our children out of the public schools, and do private, parochial, homeschooling, whatever we can afford.

But as we go to air, the curfews are lifting, and the tide of public opinion is shifting – more and more parts of civil society are calling for the abolition of the Minneapolis Police Department.
Robin Wonsley Worlabah from the Democratic Socialists of America, Twin Cities, provides an update.

Youtube: 14m49s: 3 Jun: Russia Today: Going Underground: Minneapolis Organiser: We Are Fighting Racialised Capitalism! (George Floyd Protests)
Presenter Afshin Rattansi (EX-BBC, CNN, PressTV Iran)
We speak to Twin Cities Democratic Socialists of America organizer Robin Wonsley about the killing of George Floyd by US Minneapolis police and the subsequent Black Lives Matter uprising that has swept the United States. She discusses the postponement of the trial of the officer who killed George Floyd, the grassroots nature of the protests with no central leadership, corporations arguably feigning support for African Americans while suppressing wages and working with the security state, the militarisation of US police, what would happen if Black Lives Matter protesters used the 2nd Amendment to arm themselves like white anti-lockdown protesters had, Minneapolis’ history of using bombings against communities of colour when they rise up, the ‘civil war’ happening in America between the state and the police vs black and brown communities and the working class, the link of capitalism with police brutality, Joe Biden attempting to gain political capital from the protests and the prospect of another 4 more years of Trump.

Withdrawing from the public schools isn’t an option for everyone. A better option is what you initially propose. Every single conservative with kids in public schools need to go to meetings and not back down from cries of ‘racism”. Anything you say to protest will be called racism. Bet on it.
Worth a listen. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bz0oxIZ3xIg
....while asking for God’s help too.
If colleges continue to be online, we’ll see a consolidation, where the best taped lectures will be used by many colleges. Who needs professors in every subject, when the courses can be delivered from the best taped professors. That should result in a lot of marxist professors becoming unemployed.
I guess the 8 percent is all Americans.
Regardless it seems the majority don’t get a bachelors.
And some who do have gone to the rare conservative college.
There are good colleges out there. Serious Christian ones. Those like Hillsdale and etc. let’s support them with our college aged young people.
The left will be raucous and rowdy until they are ground in to the firmament under the heel of a ruthless dictator. And it will all be their doing. They are a problem that creates its own solution. The downside is they’ll take us all with them.
Bump!
I suspect you may be stuck in time. B&M schools are so passé. The Covid-19 started people thinking. Remote learning and/or online learning (they are not the same thing) has been going on for decades. In the past twenty years I attended at least three PMI® and ITIL® certification courses from a remote learning online university in California. My brother is retired now, but he taught remote learning classes several years ago. My S-in-L, the PhD, is an executive with his second Ivy League university in online and other remote learning programs.
The next school season will be a rude awakening for many. The genie is out of the bottle and Futurists have predicted this eventuality for a long time. All that was needed was a catalyst.
