Who needs re-education camps when we have our universities take care of what Russia, China, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos used to do?

Higher learning? These institutions need to be put on notice.

If you want government funding, you need to get your act together.

This will stop, or your university will.

These people are insidious. America is not perfect, no place is. But there is a reason that millions of people move here every year and millions more to other western countries. It is not a racial thing, it is a cultural thing and there is nothing inherently wrong with cultures that have developed with different emphases, but the western world has brought to the world nearly every major advancement the human race has ever seen. That universities now choose to make it a racial issue is perverse, and reveals the true opinions of those so-called liberals. They are racists. America and the west are the most egalitarian cultures on the planet, and really only America (and to a lesser degree Europe) offer the economic liberty to bootstrap your way from absolute poverty in a foreign land to personal and economic achievement through hard work and inventiveness.

This movement to shame and guilt our kids for perceived injustices of the past can achieve nothing good. These movements almost always fail to acknowledge that our ‘White, western’ frailties including greed and savagery are not unique to the west, they are human frailties that exist in every culture and every nation. The savage white man slaughtered the native Americans that is true, but so too did the native Americans savagely war with other tribes, just as white English and white German cultures war with each other with immense brutality. There is no privilege inherent in whiteness, there are privileges given to or earned by the rich, the well educated, those with marketable skills and so on. These university movements are really an attempt to undermine the culture that brought the university concept to the masses, that cured polio, that delivers great art and literature, that protects for all people a defined set of civil and human rights, that makes life more comfortable for all who live within it. To instill guilt and shame is to undermine the very essence of achievement and threatens to retard future development. A people who are ashamed of themselves, who are instilled with fear and guilt and timidity are a people who will live through a great decline in standards and opportunity and achievement. Kids should be taught how to think for themselves and not to think of how they are defined by the actions of the people who lived before them. They should be taught intellectual freedom, to think through and develop new ideas, to master processes that unlock mysteries and that reveal and explain the unknown. But if they are beaten as they are raised they will develop low self esteem and they will learn to think in more narrow and more limited ways which can only result in economic, social and intellectual stagnation, or worse..

The universities and the government are already working together.
