How American Universities Became Liberal Cesspools Of Anti Americanism and Socialist Havens

Since I was in college in 1983-7 the landscape has changed so dramatically that were I given the chance to go today all expenses paid as I did then, I would say "hell no, I won't go" and wouldn't think twice about it.

I would refuse to let my family spend $150,000 of their hard earned money to subsidize the last bastions of Communism alive on the planet short Cuba and the bunch of Woodstock era dope smokin' leftovers who now own the academic arena in this country.

The American Thinker: "It's August 1968. Anti-Vietnam War demonstrators have just wrecked the Democratic national convention in Chicago and ruined Hubert Humphrey's chances to become President. So what did these Marxist demonstrators and their cohorts elsewhere do next?

They stayed in college. They sought out the easiest professors and the easiest courses. And they stayed in the top half of their class. This effectively deferred them from the military draft, a draft that discriminated against young men who didn't have the brains or the money to go to college. That draft also sparked the wave of grade inflation that still swamps our colleges. Vietnam-era faculty members lowered standards in order to help the 'Hell No, We Won't Go' crowd.

In the 1970s, President Richard Nixon ended the war and Congress ended military conscription. So the Marxist anti-war activists -- activism is now a full-time profession -- had to do something else. Most of them went to work in the real world. But a meaningful number remained in school and opted for academia, especially the humanities and the social sciences. If they got a Ph.D., they might even become university teachers, and many of them did. They then climbed academia's ladder, rising from instructor to assistant professor, from assistant professor to associate professor, and from associate professor to full professor....." continued here
