I think you see Marxists where there are none. That is not to say that Marxists don’t exist. They just aren’t the reason for everything. Like girl second basemen. On one team that happens to make the news.
BTW, Marxism did take over the curricula with Dewey. Marxism is the reason God was taken out of the schools in the 50’s . ACLU, Feminist movement, Unions and Homosexual movement are all Marxist movements and they are controlling everything right now. It is a fact and easy to research.
The Closing of the American Mind explains the paradigm shift-—from Christianity to atheism. Nothing is an accident as FDR said. Like Lenin—they get the kids first in the schools and all media, then all the other institutions.
