Great article. The sixties radicals decided to take over from within and have largely succeeded. The audio to “Indoctrinate U” is available free as a podcast through American Conservative University. I downloaded it last week and found it fascinating.

Search on "The Frankfurt School" of the 1940's for a key group in all this.

Yes, the sixties radicals stood out when reading the article. I was glad to see him mention Angela Davis, she stands out in my mind. She, Ayers and many others should have persued their educations in federal prison and dedicated their lives to educating their fellow inmates. It’s a travesty that they were allowed to teach our young people over the years.

Most Texas profs support no limits on evolution teaching

A vast majority of the scientists say students would be harmed if the state requires the teaching of the "weaknesses" of evolution, according to the survey conducted for the Texas Freedom Network Education Fund, an organization that works on issues involving religious freedom, civil liberties and public education.

Next stop, Communism.

Revisionist history works wonders.

I always recommend Noindoctrination.org to college students.

It's a place where they can go to report indoctrination, see many reports which have been filed, and simply not feel so alone in their outrage.

sadly, it's parents who have allowed it... we pay to send our children to college... and before that, we willingly hand our children over to the government when we send them to government school...

“Communist Goal 17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks.”

I saw Bill Bennett at the Governors’ meeting (on CSpan) yesterday. He urgently stressed that conservatives must get active to influence our values in the schools, published media and entertainment industries. (which is exactly what the communist goals have done to undermine our country!) He spoke of educating young minds with American values. Exactly my thoughts! .. but he is the first person I’ve heard speak it out loud to a collection of conservative governors! David Horowitz has been active in the schools, but as expected, the media folks pretty well ignore him.
At any rate, Bill Bennet’s comments appeared to fall on deaf ears. .. but maybe not.
I don’t think there’s any hope to reclaim our youth unless we get the anti-American agenda out of our education system.

Great site. Thanks for the link. I will make sure my daughter knows about it before she goes to college. Of course, I am pushing Hillsdale College, so maybe she won't need it!

If she goes to Hillsdale, she definitely won’t need it, but some of her friends might, so tell her to pass it on!

So what stops conservatives from being academically inclined?

He urgently stressed that conservatives must get active to influence our values in the schools,...

I used to agree with this statment, but I fear that it has gone too far with the public schools. When I used to be a government school teacher and parent, I would try to make my voice heard. But this was next to impossible, and there were very few parents willing to back me up. It is not like there are a bunch of dissatisfied parents waiting for direction. Those who see what is happening are taking their kids out. The parents whose kids are still in the government schools generally are happy to have a free babysitter and a place to go for sporting events.

There is nothing wrong with occasionally trying to do things like speak at school board meetings or influence local elections, but I don't see massive change happening that way. Any parent who sees the truth needs to get their child out and start homeschooling or private-schooling. The public schools losing the dollars attached to that child is the only thing that might make them start listening eventually.

Amazing to me is how few people see what is happening to our country. Either that, or they agree with, or deny it.
