A good artilce on the state of America's university system and a valuable resource for the college student.

"A general state education is a mere contrivance for moulding people to be exactly like one another: and the mould in which it cast them is that which pleases the predominant power in the government, whether this be a monarch, a priesthood, an aristocracy, or the majority of the existing generation; in proportion as it is efficient and successful, it establishes a despotism over the mind, leading by natural tendency to one over the body", J.S. Mill. We find that this quote is accurate when we examine what is taught in the universities and the effects that this has on society. This article was written by a conservative professor. In it, he describes what is taught in universities.
  • "The legitimacy of virtually any program that promotes the interests of minority and female faculty, staff and students, even if the program is blatantly racist or sexist -- justified by a belief that America's past unjust treatment of blacks, American Indians and Japanese-Americans, and its unfair treatment of women render such discrimination necessary and lawful."
  • "A multicultural mentality, which preaches that America's Eurocentric, white, Christian heritage is responsible for colonialism, imperialism, racism and sexism, and that its replacement by a culture that "celebrates diversity" will transform the US into a more just and humane society."
  • "A distrust of free markets and democratic capitalism, and its severe limitation in favor of a centralized, government-controlled economy that will redistribute the wealth of America more fairly."
  • "A denigration of religious belief and its replacement by the "worship" of secular humanism, with mindless environmentalism occupying a central place in the new religion." I would add the worship of the state.
He goes on to state how these "citadels of thought" use diversity as reverse racism. "My epiphany came about 20 years ago at the inauguration of a new campus president. In his acceptance speech, he said many things that seemed bizarre to me, but the comment I recall most vividly was his insistence that he would create a world-class university by building "excellence through diversity." His point seemed to be that by substantially increasing the number of minority and female faculty, staff and students (and consequently decreasing the number of white males), this would of necessity make us a great university." Diversity is a magic word that will cure all evils. It is just a nice facade to hid their true intentions of suppressing people and thought.

He describes the conformity of thought and the fact that all think alike. "My second observation is that I was not the only one failing to make waves. [In fact, there were no waves whatsoever.] There was no debate, no controversy; just the calm serenity of a campus at peace with its almost universally accepted mind set. I attribute this to three things. First, of course, anyone raising an objection was viewed, as I was, as hopelessly out of it and worthy only of being ignored. This has a chilling effect, perhaps even more effective than derision. Second, I suspect that those who believed as I did were still in lockdown mode -- for the same reasons as I was over the years. And third, I believe the liberal brainwash has been so effective on campus -- and in the national educational system in general -- that many in the liberal majority can't even fathom that there is anyone who doubts the legitimacy of their point of view."

He shows how this conformity of thought has been spread throughout our whole system. "My final observation is the following. The liberal hegemony exists in many quarters of the country beside academia -- e.g., the mainstream media, major foundations, law schools and the trail lawyers they produce, public school teachers, the Democratic Party, even big corporations. But none of these can maintain the atmosphere as effortlessly as campus profs and administrators." Indeed, the state education system is helping to make people "to be exactly like one another". To defeat America, it must be defeated from within. The education system is a major tool to bring a disintegration of our system by undercutting the very foundation of our society and Country. One must be armed with knowledge to overcome the system.

A good website with information to battle the liberal establishment in the university system and their lies and crap that they teach is the Intercollegiate Studies Institute. They review colleges and provide a plethora of information for the college student. It is a good source to find a college; and overall, to overcome the liberal tide in the education system. Well worth a check by the college student.
