The Democrat party and its marxist allies are the true reactionaries.

It is stunning to me how so many college aged people really like Obama but have no idea what the "stimulus package" is about or how $4 trillion in deficit spending is going to give them a rather shabby, working class lifestyle for the next 50 years. They golden days of their youth are gone and they don;t yet understand that they will be paying the bill in higher personal taxes (income, fuel, user, etc...) and in trying to find jobs in a greatly reduced economy. They good tech jobs are moving to India and China so they will end up doing less interesting work in menial jobs here in the USA.

The suburban, SUV, soccer mom, country club, soccer club, tennis club, little league, etc lifestyle they grew up in died on November 4, 2008 and the $4 trillion in deficit spending has sealed the tomb. They are destined to be economic serfs. But, Obama! 'He's sooooo beautiful." He's like us! We LOVE Obama!"

Gag...

Academia is dominated by the left from kindergarten thru graduate school.

So is entertainment.

So is the MSM.

Kinda like an axis of propoganda.

When are young people and their parents going to stop paying exorbitant tuition for the privilege of being brainwashed by the left?

When are they going to stop sending their children to public schools, where the damage begins? When are they going to realize that "free and compulsory education" is a form of welfare, with the usual evil consequences?

The University of Texas uses required texts that take as their starting point the patriarchal structure of society. Twenty-five points of a student's final grade are determined by a gender journal in which students question norms about sexuality.

The fact that tsips question their sexuality doesn't surprise most of us in the Big 12... ;^)

While I agree that most liberal arts college professors are left-wing, flag-burning, pot-smoking Marxist trolls, I blame the increasing stupidity of today's young people on their parents. We as parents have responsibility to raise our kids so they'll have a solid foundation of beliefs when they head off to College. Too many parents allow other people to raise their kids, ie, peers, teachers, youth group leaders, coaches, etc. When you don't teach them to stand for something, they'll fall for anything.

One of my biggest gripes is students who are too afraid to stand up for their beliefs when some Ward Churchill-wannabe goes spouting indoctrination points from his version of Mao's Little Red book. "I'm afraid I'll get a low grade". C'mon, have the courage of your beliefs! I know plenty of people who'd hire you for getting a "D" in "Womyn's Studies 101" or "Comparative Studies- The Superiority of Cuba's Healthcare System 202", especially if they knew you busted the balls of the Marxist Indoctrinator every Monday-Wednesday-Friday at 10 AM. Parents need to raise their kids to be courageous enough to stand up to these Apparatchiks and damn the consequences.

To be fair, most Engineering and technical professors are either politically conservative or at least neutral. Also, most students simply go to some of these classes just to get a grade, and the biggest question coming from them is, "Uhhh, will that be on the test?"

David Horowitz has made it his life mission for the last two decades to expose the hypocrisy of professors pushing propaganda instead of education.

A wasted life.

How can we explain continued public support for Barack Obama's extremist spending plans, even though it is painfully obvious that his much-touted "remaking America" means mortgaging the financial future of young people with trillions of dollars in debt?

That's easy;

We allowed our party and ideologies to become separated and dysfunctional right before a key election and lost everything.

In my college, my friend who I could best describe had Obama mania, woke up and smelled the coffee :D. When he found out about the Obama Youth Brigades, oh man he admitted he would have voted for Mcain. I just pointed him towards this site, and said, you seemed to know everything about him (and he did know everything he said) but are you ready to see the truth? I pointed him here and I’ll probably point him to Drudge too. There’s hope, the college students are waking up, some won’t completely, but there getting there :D.

My alma mater, UMass/Amherst, threw itself down the angry feminist rathole in the 1970s and it's still there. Behold "feminist anthropology," "political and legal anthropology," and one of my favorites, "Ph.D. Program in Social Justice."

UMass remains strong in the sciences and engineering. In the humanities and social sciences, it's a foot-long crap grinder.

The Case Against the College Degree

http://www.smartmoney.com/Personal-Finance/College-Planning/The-Case-Against-the-College-Degree/

[wintertime]

At Columbia University, students who hope to be teachers are expected to adopt a radical view of American society and to attack the legitimacy of the social order. The courses dish out a running attack on capitalism and the free-market system.

These K-12 Marxist indoctrinated teachers have now thoroughly infiltrated our government K-12 schools. Our nation's K-12 schools are full to the brim with them.

SHAME ON CONSERVATIVES! They have consistently failed to provide a nationwide system of tuition-free private schools. They send their kids off to Marxist, atheistic, and secular humanist dominated K-12 schools. Is it any wonder that these kids are defenseless before their Marxist university professors?

Conservatives must start immediately doing several things simultaneously:

1) Remove your kids from government K-12 schools. Do this immediately!

2) Search out private colleges that support conservative values.

3) Stop sending money to Marxist universities and colleges.

4) Organize conservative educational foundations that would award grants to private conservative teachers. These conservative teachers would open tuition-free one room school houses, mini-schools, and homeschool cooperatives. The conservative educational foundation would certify the teacher, approve the curriculum, and test the students.

5) Organize college philanthropy foundations to open new conservative colleges and universities.

Please abandon the idea that government K-12 schooling can be reformed. It was a socialist idea from the beginning whose goal was to produce a pliant and conforming citizenry. It is succeeding admirably in its goal.

The University of Texas uses required texts that take as their starting point the patriarchal structure of society.

This is sort of an aside to the main point of the article, but I think that premise is seriously flawed. I took a woman's studies class in the 70's and you could use the same methodology they used to "prove" women were oppressed to show that men are actually the oppressed class these days.

Far from having a patriarchy, I think we've got a matricrhy far more: our whole society is geared toward ensuring security. No tax is too onerous, no law too oppressive, if only it creates some sort of security for someone.

[STONEWALLS]

....the reason the Women’s Studies people are anti-capitalist is simple....a W.Studies degree is worthless in a capitalist economy....so they make jobs for themselves in universities.....there was a funny song out a while back that went:

“I got a degree in Women’s Studies, how come I can’t pay my rent?”

"One answer to these questions may be what has been taught over the last 30 years in U.S. colleges and universities, where the radicals of the 1960s have become tenured professors."

Do you think he's being too hard on the colleges and just needs to calm down? [sarcasm tag]

[palmerizedCaddis]

What ever happened to the old quote from the King James?

Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it.

Raise them to be conservatives and they will be conservatives. Mom’s and Dad’s lessons, sermons, and the occasional kick in the butt to remind me I was going down a bad path helped me learn to say or write what I had to in order to get the grade then forget it.

Can a real conservative be re-educated to be a ZEROBOT Zombie? I surely hope not!!!!
