On campus, the costs of rewriting communism

For parents who are spending tens of thousands of dollars in annual tuition fees, for those concerned with intellectual honesty in the academic profession, for college students enrolled in American history courses, and for members of Congress who appropriate taxpayer money to support the American university, the report in this book is a startling, even explosive expose of where the money and their trust are going.

Thank you for the post.

An examination of the connection between tuition fees and tenure on the contemporary campus is long overdue.

Thanks for posting this

As long as the sheeple keep paying tuition and taxes to support the leftwing academia without a word of protest to state legislatures, I see no hope for change.

So true, Cop....so true.

Thanks for posting this aculeus - it is excellence in exposing the left.

The Haynes-Klehr series of books on the American Communist Party, Yale University Press, should be required reading.

Professor Eric Foner of Columbia University is perhaps the leading academic whose hatred of capitalist America knows no bounds. His post-September 11 reaction made me shake my head at its dreadful meaning: "I'm not sure which is more frightening: the horror that engulfed New York City or the apocalyptic rhetoric emanating daily from the White House."

Foner was the choice of Disney to organize the history exhibits at the proposed Northern Virginia "DisneyLand".

Fortunately the locals objected to the proposed park so effectively Disney cancelled it and Foner lost another chance to smear the USA.

The funny thing about the claim that America is responsible for 9-11 is that it is partly true, in that the American left has worked so hard to assure that this nation became dependent upon the Middle East for oil.

We have had and continue to have vast energy alternatives that required no such risk. The left stands squarely in the way of touching one bit of it and demands a vast subsidy in the military to assure delivery. Why? The globalists who fund the left, among them the Rockefellers, W. Alton Jones, and the Pew family, are heavily invested in that Middle Eastern oil. They want as high a price for it as possible. That means cutting out the competition by controlling access to any alternative. That takes environmental regulation, the principle tool of leftist governance.

The pattern continues in mining, timber, meat, and soon food staples and software coding. That it is the same game as was played by the Dutch East India Company should be no surprise.

The final blow is that such revisionist cant seeks to destroy capitalism and resurrect Marxism-Leninism from the dead by creating as a chosen instrument the college generations they teach.

Can you say most curent university and college professors meet these qualifications? Between the dumbocRATs and the organizations / special interest groups that are attracked to them, communism is quite alive in the US.

Very good article.

I know leftists - during the 7 years I spent at university in the '60s I rarely saw an exception to the teaching and acceptance of the 'fact' that Progress was ranked against Reaction, and that socialism was on the side of Progress. Never was there more than a handful of students against 'solidarity' with Ho, Fidel, and Mao. Uncle Sam was the Bad Guy - always. These people are now the smarmy and prosperous 'liberals' who actually like 'thoughtful' politicians such as Hillary Clinton.

So long as the delusion that socialism = progress is accepted, the treason of the intellectuals continues - thank God cracks are now appearing in the foundations of the leftist academic fortress!

I met the same people during the same years in Iowa City.

American intellectuals now openly applaud and apologize for one of the bloodiest ideologies of human history

My wife went to Leiptzig right after the fall of East Germany. Most of the people did not talk to their neighbors or go out on Sunday because they couldn't trust anyone. Most college kids are unaware of the effects of a police state on the human mind and the professors keep the facts of supression hidden.

Excellent, excellent article.

Will the sheeple awaken in time?

I recall after its collapse one East German professor deciding to move to the only country where he could probably get a job ... the USA.

All we can do is try to cut the tax money to universities. When the budget axe falls, the humanities are always the first cut. That, and send our kids to private universities that we know teach rather than indoctrinate.

The American left is also responsible for the export of Hollywood sleaze that so offends the sensibilities of the rest of the world.

A sleaze that, in a world containing HIV without funds for prevention and treatment, is life threatening to whole civilizations.

There is a reason that HIV infections in the Arab world are below 1%.
