How The Left Was Won!

Yesterday I promised I'd reveal my opinion on how the education system fell into the hands of the left. In the 1950's a senator from Wisconsin, Joe McCarthy began a camapign labled McCarthyism fueled by the fear of communism infiltrating the United States.

During the post–World War II era of McCarthyism, many thousands of Americans were accused of being Communists or communist sympathizers and became the subject of aggressive investigations and questioning before government or private-industry panels, committees and agencies. The primary targets of such suspicions were government employees, those in the entertainment industry, educators and union activists. Suspicions were often given credence despite inconclusive or questionable evidence, and the level of threat posed by a person's real or supposed leftist associations or beliefs was often greatly exaggerated. Many people suffered loss of employment, destruction of their careers, and even imprisonment. Most of these punishments came about through trial verdicts later overturned,[1] laws that would be declared unconstitutional,[2] dismissals for reasons later declared illegal[3] or actionable,[4] or extra-legal procedures that would come into general disrepute

The academy has always been left leaning. But the real shift began at the end of the Mccarthy era, when the leftist professors were driven out, lost their jobs. At the end of that period, say the late 1950's, colleges went the other direction. It was an atonement for what they had done, they went so far the other direction they started to welcome leftists, especially in the social sciences,the arts, and history.

With opportunity present the left began to take control. Other profesors were gentlemen and women and didn't believe in confrontation, they didn't see all activities as political, but the Marxists on the left see everything as political. There was little confrontation as the left began to control the Universities. They staffed the search committees, and started hiring more like minded professors. They started doling out money so it only rewarded radicals.

By the late 1960's most of the political science, humanities, and sociology departments were dominated by leftists. There still were a few conservatives but they had no power. Incomming students first classroom experience is taught by....liberals. The authors of the text books are....liberal professors. The journalism classes are taught by....liberals. The left has infiltrated, twisted the education procedure and now controls our youth with their propaganda. When your textbooks and teachers say the same message from day one, how could you dissern anything else?

God Bless!
