MARISSA STREIT: The Ivy League must fall so America can rise
We’ve been warning America for decades about the left-wing, illiberal indoctrination in our education system. And, for doing so, we have been called racist, bigoted, right-wing extremists.
Unfortunately, it took students celebrating the Hamas massacre, direct attacks against Jews on campuses, and the abysmal testimonies of presidents from our most “esteemed” colleges to finally wake people up. The moral rot on our campuses has been fully revealed for all Americans to see—an unsettling revelation that, regrettably, is no surprise.
Perhaps we can find a silver lining during these dark times. Americans are finally waking up—and they are starting to ask the right questions:
What is happening at our colleges? Why are university leaders so disappointing? Does the truth matter on America’s “elite” campuses?
Millions of Americans, busy working hard and raising their families, haven’t been paying attention to what was taking place on college campuses. They are now left wondering: what on earth is going on?
It’s important that Americans understand the truth about our educational institutions. These institutions have not failed, they have in fact succeeded in their goals.
People who considered themselves “educated” and “open-minded” are now experiencing complete shock. The institutions they have been worshiping, where they spent a significant portion of their life’s savings and entrusted with their children, have completely betrayed them. Not only did they pay for a subpar education, but their children emerged brainwashed with radical illiberal, and senseless ideas.
It’s important that Americans understand the truth about our educational institutions. These institutions have not failed, they have in fact succeeded in their goals. Our institutions were taken over by Marxist ideologues many years ago who strived to radically transform America into a divided society where morality, truth, and achievement don't matter. This is why Harvard has not fired its president despite the evidence of her academic plagiarism and diabolical congressional testimony regarding Jew hatred on campus. She is, in fact, the perfect match for them: morally and academically bankrupt. They truly belong together.
Decent Americans need to wake up and walk away from these rotten institutions because they cannot be fixed. We must stop supporting colleges that unapologetically indoctrinate young Americans with Marxist ideas. Americans might be concerned about Jew hatred on campus today, but it will not stop there. The hatred targeting American values (life, liberty, and e pluribus unum) and the celebration of Marxism is the root of the problem.
While communism is still a dirty word, Marxism isn’t. Americans are identifying with neo-Marxist ideas reinvented in cultural terms such as equity, fragility, intersectionality, and decolonization. Over the past few years, have you been wondering why students are rallying around BLM, calling to “defund the police,” demanding transgender rights, and, most recently, marching in support of terror groups like Hamas? Every single one of these ideas is rooted in Karl Marx’s ideology. The rise of neo-Marxism didn’t happen organically, and it isn’t sudden. This is a manufactured, decades-long strategy playing out in front of our eyes. Beginning in grade school, kids are taught racial division and moral relativism are good, while America’s founding principles and values are bad.
Millions of young people have unwittingly become pawns in a cultural Marxist revolution led by our institutions—many of them considered “elite” and nearly worshiped by Americans.
This isn’t just being promoted by eccentric sociology professors on historically left-leaning campuses. Marxist brainwashing is running rampant from kindergarten to post-graduate institutions, spreading like wildfire online and infiltrating our local communities nationwide.
How are America’s enemies doing this from within?
