Marxism and Cowardice are the Hallmarks of America’s Colleges and Universities​

By Steve McCann

The campuses of America’s colleges and universities are awash in Marxist ideology and tolerance for Fascist/Nazi tactics as well as cowardice and lemminglike groupthink by professors and presidents. The chaotic and perilous end-product of these mindsets is what Americans are witnessing today in the virulent antisemitism, support for Islamic terrorism, and anti-Americanism at so many colleges and universities.

Thirty-five years ago, the New York Times published an article entitled “The Mainstreaming of Marxism in US colleges” describing how, despite unmitigated failures and the collapse of Marxism around the world, Marxist ideas were becoming mainstream in the halls of American universities.

The Marxists in America, recognizing that the traditional class conflict argument would not work in the United States, instead promoted one simplistic tenet-- the world is divided into the oppressors and the oppressed. Therefore, the oppressors must be overthrown by any means possible if there is to be a “just and equitable” society.

A brilliant blueprint which plays on the American national proclivity to invariably cheer for the underdog. The key element of this strategy is to indoctrinate students to see every social relation or interaction through the lens of oppression and conflict.

Who, then, are the oppressors and who are the oppressed?

The United States is an apex oppressor nation due to its slavish devotion to capitalism, the Judeo-Christian underpinning of its founding, slavery, and supposed unbridled colonialism. Thus, the “White” race, and in particular heterosexual White men, are irredeemable oppressors. Jews, due to their societal success and religious traditions, are and always have been oppressors. Consequently, Israel, along with the U.S., is an apex oppressor nation as are virtually all the nations of Europe and their indigenous populations.

Race was the initial critereon of being oppressed in the United States. The history of African-Americans was maliciously falsified, exploited, and manipulated by the Marxists in their opening salvo accusing the nation of being an irredeemable oppressor. Within a few decades, African-Americans were essentially cast aside as they had served their purpose. Being oppressed was, per the plan, evolving into an extraordinarily expansive group encompassing over 70% of the population.

A tidal wave of groups vying for oppressed status flooded the college and university campuses. Race was no longer a primary criterion, as all women were included among the oppressed as were all members of the gay and lesbian community. Virtually anyone not self-identified as a member of the “White” race was granted oppressed status. In order to also be considered among the oppressed, self-styled “transexuals” were also granted unconditional oppressed status, as at the right time will pedophiles.

After September 11, 2001, American Muslims, on the pretext of alleged rampant Islamophobia, were welcomed into the fold and conferred the highest level of oppressed status. Beginning in the 1990’s, Islamic factions from the Middle East saw an opportunity to take advantage of this mindless Marxist movement and successfully cast the Palestinians as being tyrannized at the hands of the triumvirate of apex oppressors-- Israel, the Jews, and the United States. The Palestinians instantly became a cause célèbre on college campuses.

Today’s cultural upheaval can be directly traced to the success of the Marxist movement on college campuses. So-called “wokeness,” victimhood, cancel culture, identity politics, the DEI movement, and the self-righteousness of destroying property and livelihoods stem from American Marxism’s distorted fixation on oppression and conflict.

It is not just the indoctrination of the students that underlies the ongoing chaos at America’s colleges and universities, but the cowardice and groupthink of presidents and faculty who are also products of these same institutions. Their lemminglike reaction to the most catastrophic event of this century, the collective response to Covid-19, revealed the depth of their cravenness in the face of adversity.

Per the Department of Education, in 2018-19 there were nearly 4,200 degree granting two and four year colleges and universities in the United States. There are 1.5 million on the faculties at these colleges and another 260,000 designated as senior executive administrators.

Bill Rice of the Brownstone Institute investigated the response to Covid by America’s so-called institutions of higher learning. He wrote:

One question that interests me is how many of America’s approximately 4,200 colleges and 1.5 million faculty members criticized the lockdowns, the myriad non-pharmaceutical interventions and then the nonstop effort to vaccinate the entire world population?
Among America’s 4,200 or so colleges, the only college that pushed back against these measures or the “authorized narratives” regarding Covid was Hillsdale College in southern Michigan (which has only 2,600 students.)
I could probably name 10 to 20 American professors who went against their peers and consistently shared criticism in interviews, speeches, and articles or scientific papers.
In other words, 99.999 percent of colleges and 99.99999 percent of faculty members either accepted bogus conventional wisdom or were too afraid to publicly challenge myriad false or dubious Covid claims.
These so-called leaders were actually all followers and they followed -- accepted as infallible truths -- the wrong bureaucratic guidance, and relied on questionable or incorrect data, which caused them to embrace mandates that caused irreparable and incalculable harm to society.

Click to expand...

It is this lemminglike mindset that has allowed Marxist ideology to take root, infest virtually all of America’s colleges and universities, and permits threats and violent activity to go unpunished and thus encouraged.

These institutions annually receive over $1.1 trillion from government and non-government funding sources, making post-secondary education the third largest revenue collecting entity in the nation, after the federal and state governments. Of that amount, American taxpayers contribute over $260 Billion in the form of direct payments, grants, investments, and loans (the federal government $150 Billion and the states $110 Billion).

The only means of forcing America’s colleges and universities to stop promoting Marxist ideology and cease tolerating threats and violence on their campuses is to dramatically reduce their annual revenue. All federal and state funding should be severely curtailed and eventually eliminated for those institutions that refuse to abandon the pervasive sponsorship of Marxist ideology and abide Fascist/Nazi tactics.

If this nation’s colleges and universities are not drastically reformed, then the United States is facing an extremely bleak future in light of the education America’s future leaders are and will continue to receive.

I know true information is scarce, but I thought I'd go ahead and ask anyway. My glass is half full approach says that since we've heard both are willing to listen, we've got a decent shot at keeping them. What are your thoughts?

(I know Fred will say Marshall would've had them locked up already).

… and tell me how anyone on these POS’s on our college campuses can be supportive of Hamas/Palestine/Gaza.

I show this documentary every year to my Junior level US History classes. But this year is even more timely. I’m really fired up about showing this to my classes with what’s going on right now.

Crazy thing about the start of the documentary is where the radical Islamic meeting in 1991 that kicks off the documentary takes place.

Oklahoma State softball came up short of Bedlam sweep but reinforced its confidence​

Scott Wright
The Oklahoman

NORMAN — Standing in the tunnel behind the dugout at OU’s Love’s Field on Sunday afternoon, Kenny Gajewski wasn’t ready to think about any positive juice his Oklahoma State softball team might’ve gained in taking two of three games from the second-ranked Sooners.

The sting of Sunday’s 8-2 loss was a little too fresh for such reflection.

Defensive miscues, runners left on base, and a few mistakes to OU power hitters prevented the fourth-ranked Cowgirls from pulling off a Bedlam sweep in the Sooners’ new home.

But the Friday and Saturday victories were enough to let Gajewski open up about what his team showed in a hostile environment of 4,528 fans — mostly in crimson and cream.

“Lot of empty seats, so that was kinda cool,” Gajewski said with a wry smile. “I think we were a big part of that. Kinda felt good, to be honest.

“We’re good. I think we’ve been saying that for a long time.”

Though the Cowgirls (44-9, 21-6 Big 12) couldn’t finish the sweep of the three-time defending champion Sooners (46-6, 22-5), they proved they can compete with the best college softball has to offer.

“I think it just shows how good of a team we are,” OSU sophomore Micaela Wark said. “Walking into this series, we were really confident. A lot of teams, they see OU and they back up on their heels and they’re a little more scared.

“I think what’s so special about this team is we’re not scared of anything. We’re not scared to face anybody.”

Here are three takeaways from OSU’s loss:

Rosenberry pitches through pain again​

Early Sunday, Gajewski sat down with Ivy Rosenberry and her mother to discuss a potential pitching plan for the day.

Rosenberry has been dealing with a rib injury for the last week, and while she’s in no danger of worsening the injury, and it doesn’t impact her pitching motion, it still causes pain.



But she came into the day 4 ⅓ innings short of 100 for the season — the minimum requirement during the regular season for a pitcher to be eligible for All-America honors with the National Fastpitch Coaches Association.

“Your numbers are good. You’re gonna be in the conversation for All-American stuff,” Gajewski told Rosenberry. “You have to get to 100.”


So Gajewski left the decision in the hands of Rosenberry and her mother, who chose to give it a shot.

Rosenberry got through exactly 4 ⅓ innings, starting for the second straight day, despite the rib pain. She allowed two runs on seven hits with one walk, throwing 85 pitches and holding the Sooners scoreless until the fourth inning.

That’s when OU freshman Kasidi Pickering lined a two-run homer to left-center field — the Sooners’ first home run of the series.

Rosenberry concludes the regular season with 89 strikeouts in 100 innings, posting a 1.68 ERA — nearly a full run better than she had in 37 innings a year ago.

“It speaks volumes about her and (pitching coach) Carrie Eberle,” Gajewski said of Rosenberry’s season. “This is what Oklahoma State is all about and frankly, it’s what our state is all about. It’s toughness, it’s blue-collar, it’s a chip on your shoulder. To watch this kid and see what she’s done up to this point has been really cool.

“I don’t think there were too many people in the game who thought this was gonna happen for her.”

Big 12 Tournament rematch?​

The Cowgirls and Sooners went into Sunday’s game knowing a rematch could be on the schedule next week.

Because Texas had already won to clinch the Big 12 regular-season title earlier in the day, OSU and OU were playing for the second and third seeds in the conference tournament, set to begin Wednesday at USA Softball Hall of Fame Stadium in Oklahoma City.

With the loss, OSU slides into the No. 3 spot, and will face sixth-seeded BYU. OSU won two of three games at BYU during the regular season.

OSU and BYU will play Thursday’s first game, set for an 11 a.m. start.

Should the Sooners and Cowgirls win Thursday, they’d be set to square off in the semifinals at 5 p.m. Friday.

Seeking a top-8 seed​

OSU is sure to see a boost in the Ratings Percentage Index after taking two of three from the Sooners. OSU entered the weekend No. 10 in the RPI, which is a key component used for NCAA Tournament seeding.

Though the Cowgirls are No. 4 in the coaches’ poll, and sure to rise in the coming week, the RPI could keep them on the bubble for a top-eight seed, the coveted spot that assures a team of regional and super-regional host berths.

The Big 12 Tournament will be weighed in the seeding process as well, but for now, the Cowgirls aren’t sweating the seed talk.

“To me, personally, I don’t really give a dang,” OSU sophomore right fielder Lexi McDonald said. “We’re gonna go wherever the crap they put us and we’re gonna go beat the heck out of whoever we play. We have each other’s back.

“After this weekend especially, if we get to host supers, awesome. If not, awesome. We’re gonna go play and go have fun.”

Is anyone going?

My family is making the trip over…

Looks like some rain midday.

Be curious if they push the start for the one o’clock or if they move indoors. We have friends that are in
OKC for girls state that are trying to make it in time for the scheduled o’clock OSU Fairfield match at 4.

If anyone one hears or bnows if that first match starts on time Please post?

I know it's not fair, and I'm trying to follow @woodlandpoke's advice of "trust the coaches/give it time," but I'm unrealistically impatient! It makes it worse that BG and JS have already committed elsewhere--not just that we lost them (I get it--bags of $$ for Garrison at the 11th hour and whatever was on Small's mind to leave), but the fact that other schools are signing high-impact guys while we're getting role players so far just compounds the concern over lack of commits. I know there's a reference made in another thread about "Lutz is taking his time to find guys that will buy into his defensive-minded, high commitment" mindset, which I definitely admire.

However...

For those of us who are ridiculously checking this board and/or pressing F5 multiple times a day hoping to see "New Commit" news about a guy who averaged 17 ppg, shoots 44% from 3--is there at least a timeline to expect when some of these kinds of high caliber guys will commit? Will we just not hear squat until it happens? Will we hear "so-and-so visited; will decide by X date" at least?

I'm not bitching about Lutz or his strategy, nor am I complaining about any specific posters on the board---I admit I'm just starved (like we all are) for some positive, hopeful information to make me think our climb out of this miserable basketball cellar will begin next season.

My wife loves baseball and my mother loves to go to Stillwater.

Anyone have 4 tickets available on the 3rd base side that can't go? I would be happy to take them off your hands.

Hopefully avoid the sweep today and get a little mojo back. Assuming Benge on the bump since we havent seen him this weekend. Whorns should be throwing a RHP so probably have Crull in RF, or at least in the lineup. Game at 1:00 on LHN.

Regardless of what you think about O'Keefe, his reporting, his tactics or anything else the one thing he exposes in all of his reports is the sheer stupidity and arrogance of those working in government. Bunch of damn horn dogs exposing government business in an effort to impress the journalist enough to get them in the sack.

Long but interesting

Big day at Disch-Falk. Need this one to keep the series in play. Holiday needs to be tough and we need to do a better job with RISP. Game at 2:30 on the MF LHN.
