Students at hundreds of colleges and universities are being systematically indoctrinated into the “New Civics” of social justice activism, according to a report released this past week by the National Association of Scholars.
The report’s findings suggest that the suppression of free speech on college campuses that is making headlines is only the tip of a very large iceberg. What lies beneath the surface is a massive, publicly funded program of indoctrination through a remaking of the curriculum as a vehicle for advancing the political agenda of progressivism.
The full NAS report, MAKING CITIZENS: HOW AMERICAN UNIVERSITIES TEACH CIVICS, can be found here.

Tancredo: Report Reveals Massive Indoctrination of Students at Universities Through ‘Transformative Civic Engagement’
Very good article!!
Dr. Jordan Peterson of the University of Toronto estimates that between 300,000 and three million have gone through social justice programs to become professional grievance mongers.
To see what they have been learning, the Sargon of Akkad youtube channel and its video “social justice is a cult” is excellent insight.

This is a good example of why we need to commit to do a thorough overhaul of higher education.
We need to pass laws allowing citizens to toss out leftist, anti-American professors and, in the most egregious cases, put them on trial for sedition. Once the right laws are in place, we should establish local commissions with broad powers to investigate and clean out our colleges and universities.
During the process, many of the secular universities might have to be shut down altogether, because they are rotten to the core.
Only if the red states let it happen.
Universities are replete with professional predators.
A replay of late 1800’s across Europe and birth of ‘communism’. Now the new and better ‘ism’ is call ‘Progressive’... Many people tend to ignore what lead up to Nazi Germany... and when the lying accusations get spewed out that Trump the man and or president is Nazi like, they are willingly ignoring what took place for 50 + years prior to Hitler’s reign of terror.
Good point.
There was a lot of indoctrination leading up to Nazi Germany; whether on purpose or just going along to get along. The lure of ‘communism’ fed a lot of people and “elites” and they got drunk on the Kool-Aid.

WWI the Commies started, ended with that 'Treaty of Versailles', to punish Germany. Hitler used the 'Treaty of Versailles' to launch WWII. We are living the chaos planted, these past 30 years since Reagan, to foment wars and rumors of wars all over this globe. There has been a whole lot of 'networking' all around the globe, at pits of higher learning.
Sounds like “The Guns of August” by Barbara W. Tuchman.
Where we are today. So many encumbering alliances; part of the globalists.
My hope is that these students 20 years from now see the government taking their money and wake up and start using their community organizing tactics against the progressive state.
The indoctrination in Germany was planned in early 1800s with the psychologist Wundt and Fichte-—and then Hegel and Marx and Darwin with Malthus infused into everything.
Fichtean, Pavlovian, Skinner techniques were intentionally embedded into curricula to destroy virtue formation in children and to embed irrationality—emotions so irrational that the children will have “unshakable belief that snow is black”. (The elites sent their children to “special” exclusive schools with Classical curricula).
This Marxist, Pavlovian “plan” was to destroy all Traditions and warp all history (and they knew they had to get the children away from the Natural family so they could warp all perceptions of male and female. (Homosexuals were creating the “boy scouts” in Germany to normalize pederasty in mid-1800s so they could groom and seduce young boys into their “lifestyles” which creates sexist, evil, puerile males——for the NWO.
It is essential to destroy virtue formation in children—put them in artificial group-think systems for mass indoctrination so dependency and programming is the only result after a few years. Without virtue in children, civil society becomes impossible. There can be no “freedom”.
Virtue is created by habits (doing and practicing good). In artificial systems where Classical Christian curricula (Trivium) is eliminated-—there is absolutely NO ability to think critically. The tools for the mind “to think” aren’t there.
All public schools since John Dewey in America (Europe/Germany was first)——became social engineering (indoctrination) places so that Common Sense and virtue formation would be destroyed. The plan was to “kill God”—collapse Western Civilization (Christianity) so that they could return to the pagan, Ancient systems of hedonism (slavery/serf minds). Christianity only created the Age of Reason and Modern Science and the US Constitution. Without education (truth (God), there is no freedom possible. The Cultural Marxists understood to hyper-sexualize young children—get them away from the Natural family (TV/skools) and you can warp all their desires and “thinking” to an extreme.
Davy Crockett type minds can’t exist in artificial controlled systems of programming (TV/schooling) where there is no ability to practice “thinking for self”-—because the pathways of the brain are never integrated which takes real unstructured life experience and actual doing and talking and interaction-—and the loving male/female paradigm role models so children understand “normal” and “social cues” so they can be successful in life and interactions with all people-—both male and female.
Sexist evil, homosexual cultures like Afghanistan, segregate the people in really irrational, evil ways, so that children embed hate and no understanding of the opposite sex. All “lifestyles” and “desires” are learned when unnatural and warped by child abuse and neglect and the destruction of the Natural family (mother and father).

I had a college course once where the professor said he wanted everyone to be a “change agent”. I took his words to heart and have tried to work, or at least vote, for change. It may not be in the direction the professor was thinking. MAGA!
A CRUCIBLE MOMENT (2012)
In 2012 a White-House-commissioned task force led by the Association of American Colleges & Universities (AAC&U) published A Crucible Moment: College Learning and Democracy’s Future.277 It called on “the higher education community—its constituents and stakeholders—to embrace civic learning and democratic engagement as an undisputed educational priority for all of higher education, public and private, two-year and four-year.”278 This report is a notable and influential text whose content and creation illuminate the nature of the New Civics movement today. . .
While Secretary of Education Arne Duncan and President Barack Obama bear ultimate responsibility for the commissioning of A Crucible Moment, the directly responsible individuals were mid-ranking bureaucrats in the Department of Education. Martha Kanter, Under Secretary of Education from 2009 to 2013, commissioned A Crucible Moment. . .
The students, at least the smart ones, will grow up and reject it all anyway. Because it’s all a bunch of horse hockey and always has been.

“Make mine Freedom”
Your use of the term “ism” reminded me of this old cartoon that shows up on FR sometimes.
