The entrenchment of leftist profs in America's university system is why I long ago stopped giving to my alma mater.
The left has taken over every institution in the last 40 years. This how a minority of less than 20% has taken over most of this country. The Clintons are an arranged marriage by the Kremlin. Anyone who thinks that Communism ended with the fall of the Soviet Union should be aware that Communism is alive and well in the democrat party. Mass media "journalism" is the public relations arm of these neo-Communists.
"Gentlemen, Comrades, do not be concerned about all you hear about glasnost and perestroika and democracy in the coming years. These are primarily for outward consumption. There will be no significant internal change within the Soviet Union, other than for cosmetic purposes. Our purpose is to disarm the Americans and let them fall asleep".
Mikhail Gorbachev, President of the Soviet Union, to the Politburo in Nov 1987.
Gramsci... this is classic Gramsci... that is the educated socialist role model on how to enact plans for new structural designs through out society... they almost won, and then Reagan came around :)

Good linkage there. Ol' Antonio would agree completely.
First step is to enable parents to choose the school of their choice for their children. This would go a long way toward dismantling the leftist's control on the mind's of the nation's children.
Public school will either need to compete or watch as their funding takes a dive.

With someone like Schell running one of the country's major journalism schools, there is little hope that the corruption of the media by its ideological prejudices and preferences can be changed. The "long march" has done its work, leaving our public institutions in the hands of those whose ideology runs counter to the basic principles of American life.
Great article! I snipped out the above paragraphs for people who might not go read the whole thing. It's well worth reading.
Here's a regional one:

Who would punish their own kids by sending them to such a place?
I couldn't agree more!

It all started to go down hill when they stopped calling themselves reporters and began calling themselves journalists. "Reporter" has such an honest, matter of fact, unpretentious sound.

If the promise was not fulfilled, then what was the point of turning a craft into a profession? Aside from personal glory, what was really gained from all the journalists with college degrees, if they decline to use their skills to challenge power on behalf of their readers? Those of us who prospered from the transformation of the city room are burdened with those questions and naturally reluctant to face them. Educated journalists, it turns out, are strong on the facts and weak on the truth.--William Greider
