****....so many American Jews are so ignorant of what is taking place around them here, and to their fellow Jews in Europe.***
They can’t be ignorant - but how many Jews choose elective office in order to ensure the survival of our Constitution and American freedoms here and abroad?
I expect most families guide their children to become prosperous both materially and intellectually (in law, science and medicine). That may very well be where they are converted/perverted.
Science and medicine are traditionally and intrinsically apolitical. However, with ever-increasing government intrusion into those areas in the last half century or so, the left has been on a campaign to gradually install political correctness into these professions.The same applies to law in the United States in principle, but again the left has been at work even longer than that to pervert the fairness and justice in the legal system so as to achieve its partisan desired results.
These are not really Jewish matters per se, but rather manifestations of American societal decadence. American Jews are more affected by these trends than others, statistically speaking, because of their participation in greater percentages in these professions than their percentage in the population.
That having been said, liberal arts and social sciences are traditionally more prone to political perversion than law, science, and medicine, especially the latter two.
