A series of near-riots on campuses aimed at silencing guest speakers has exposed the fact that our universities are no longer devoted to the free exchange of ideas in pursuit of truth. But this hostility to free speech is only a symptom of a deeper problem, writes John Ellis.
Having watched the deterioration of academia up close for the past fifty years, Ellis locates the core of the problem in a change in the composition of the faculty during this time, from mildly left-leaning to almost exclusively leftist. He explains how astonishing historical luck led to the success of a plan first devised by a small group of activists to use college campuses to promote radical politics, and why laws and regulations designed to prevent the politicizing of higher education proved insufficient.
Ellis shows that political motivation is always destructive of higher learning. Even science and technology departments are not immune. The corruption of universities by radical politics also does wider damage: to primary and secondary education, to race relations, to preparation for the workplace, and to the political and social fabric of the nation. Commonly suggested remedies–new free-speech rules, or enforced right-of-center appointments–will fail because they don’t touch the core problem, a controlling faculty majority of political activists with no real interest in scholarship. This book proposes more drastic and effective reform measures. The first step is for Americans to recognize that vast sums of public money intended for education are being diverted to a political agenda, and to demand that this fraud be stopped.

This is what happens when you let termites have free reign with the foundation of our culture. The non stop critique of our culture has a damaging effect on the will of our people. They never turn the spotlight back on themselves.

@Seajayf No one cares that you “pass” on every book you disagree with.

To declare the premise to be false, one must either be staggeringly ignorant or a blatant liar. Which is it?

The GOP and other fascist organizations like them always go after education first. The longer they can keep their multitudes in ignorance, the more crimes they can commit under the cover of darkness. The trump presidency is the end result.
