Everything in my post was factual; I even provided links.
It is a fact that democrats are increasingly the ones who have college degrees.
It is also a fact that it is conservatives who are increasingly the ones belittling college education. Once again, the more conservatives who attack college education as indoctrination centers, the more they will discourage young conservatives from attending college.
It is also a fact that college-educated people largely run society.
In order to understand the present we must first understand the past. The United States may be a country founded on principles of democracy and republicanism, but students in universities across the nation have aligned themselves, historically, with some heterodox philosophies over the years. Whether it was Communism or Socialism in the 1930’s, or left libertarianism and direct democracy during the recent Occupy protests, students have long considered whether the policies of the United States government were really working in their best interests.
On campus in Depression-era America, Leftist student groups began to rise up and attempted to change the course of American politics. These Leftist groups were strongly rooted in Socialist and Communist alternatives to American capitalism, which they believed had failed the American people. By organizing and recruiting middle class college students, the Leftist groups on campus grew membership rates into the thousands. No greater was their impact felt than at the CCNY campus in New York City.
The indoctrinated cannot wake up. We have several generations of morons now that think Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan were the good guys. They have not read any actual history or eyewitness accounts and testimonies. All they have listened to, and worse yet believed, are a bunch of leftist, revisionist history, evil "history professors."
Someone was actually stupid enough in a post above to state that the killing of citizens of the enemy didn't contribute to WWII ending. It's unfortunate that it had to be done, but it was what actually DID end the war. And it is too bad the woke revisionists will never bother to read the actual history of the matter and why the decision was made the way it was. The people that actually DID make the decisions all have their biographies and own words readily available in print. But will any of these idiots bother to read any of that? Nope. They will just take their woke "teacher's" word on all of it, even though they are being fed complete flaming BS.
Nonsense. The university students and faculties are protesting the actions of the Israeli military in what they see as the lack of restraint against the civilians in Gaza. Nazi indoctrination? Do you all understand Nazi philosophy in regards to Jews.
Classic Nazi philosophy was strict anti semitism. That is to believe Jews were so biologically flawed and such a danger to humankind that they had to be removed from society and exterminated. I’m not aware that universities are promoting anything like this. Sometimes our posters seem to verge on hysteria.
...The university students and faculties are protesting the actions of the Israeli military in what they see as the lack of restraint against the civilians in Gaza...
One of the biggest problems with their "outrage" is the hypocrisy factor. They are protesting that civilians get shot, bombed, etc by the Israeli military as an ancillary to the war going on. Okay, fine. That's never a pleasant factor of war.
BUT... at the same time they either don't care or don't even know about what happened on Oct. 7 (which is what started this current war). They don't care that some of the most heinous and disgusting acts ever perpetrated by human beings were carried out that day. Acts that would make some of the most notorious and evil figures in history pale (people like Vlad Tepes). And this was done as an official policy/order by hamas. If you can show me any order from the Israeli high command to cut women's breasts off, hammer spikes into women's crotches, etc, etc, etc, I'll actually listen to your protests, and possibly even care what the Israeli army is doing.
Frankly, I'm surprised they aren't using a heavier hand and that they are showing the restraint they are. If it were me in command, it would be a total scorched earth policy with no quarter given to ANY hamas terrorist, sympathizer, or supporter. It would be just like the American Civil War in Missouri with the irregular partisan fighters. No quarter given. Period.
If true, how do so many high school students, presumably not consumed with hate and racism, "develop" these characteristics at US universities?
“Nazi” is a weasel word, no matter who uses it.
Are College Kiddios “ indoctrinated” in Leftist Think? Absolutely they are.
I have 3 Grandchildren in College, they are shocked by what they are being taught. AND
Even more shocked by what they are NOT being taught — which is mostly about their Degree Studies.
There is a credible case that universities (especially the humanities departments) have become stifling left wing and that a good deal of the academic research is more an exercise in ideological activism than objective scholarship. All the while, the universities have greatly inflated their costs in recent years driven by every expanding army of DEI and other bureaucrats. Universities have funded all of this by raising tuition and hoodwinking young people into grad degrees of questionable value which has led to massive student debts that ultimately fall on the taxpayers.
But rather than arguing that, we have threads about Nazi indoctrination camps.

However, I went to college in the early 80s, at which time tolerance of other views and open mindedness prevailed. I would listen to what communists, Hari Krishnas, gays, straights, Christians, atheists, animal rights speeches, anti-Iranian protests, and several presidential candidates. EVERYONE was ALLOWED to speak- you could choose to listen..................... or not.
One simply needs to look at the patriotic zeal that was present on college campuses during WW1 and WW2. This was nearly universal, particularly in Ivy League colleges. There is no way in the world that we would see support on college campuses for the US if our nation was faced with the dangers of WW1 and WW2. In fact, I would not be surprised if many college students left the US to join the enemy in such a situation.
Now, over the last 60 years, college campuses have changed to have almost exclusively liberal faculty, which imparts their hateful world view on students.
There has been MANY PARENTS who lament that they sent a normal child to college, only to return as a far left loon. As long as colleges choose to breed hate and intolerance, they cease to be positive elements for a society. A nation cannot go on for long with its own students being taught to chant, "Death to America"!
Most of these kids were not raised to be hateful, anti-semitic bigots, yet they emerge from "hgher education" with those very sentiments.
Plenty of studies show the bolded to be currently 100% true.
I am a parent who sent a smart, curious, open minded 18 year old girl to a Maryland state uni, and she came out very left in 2011. Since then my discussions with her I have been able to conclude that A) The majority of her faculty were left or hard left (she had a 1st gen African communist for a "professor", who spoke almost daily on racial issues..) and B) she was not so open minded anymore, and would come to tears even if I challenged her new world view with facts. Yes, a sad Dad here, and I paid the bill to get her that undergrad degree in geography (Yes, a science based degree, and she was still gaslit via the required courses and electives)
I guess the lefty answer now is "Its always been this way.."
