Unfortunately, this is exactly what one gets when the "counterculture" undergrad from the late '60s has become of tenured status.

Regardless of the Level of the educational institution, be it Preschool, Elementary, Middle, High School, or at the University, we have these leftist flacks who are totally untouchable, and who, also predictably, begin indoctrination from day 1 of a child's educational experience. It has taken a long time to get to this state, but unfortunately, it has arrived.

I can remember in the early 1970's, when I was trying to get this message across to anyone who would listen. I was just out of the military, a Vietnam Vet,trying to get through college myself without drawing fire ;-) and, at that time that fact just about ruined my credibility.

It didn't matter if you were a very right-wing conservative, everyone was trying to put as much distance between them and someone who had served "there" as possible. I was trying to explain to the then "Silent Majority" that these "counterculture" people were not just "Kids, they'll get over it", but were going to one day control the education system, and through it, the governmental process. Saying that back then was usually met with derision.

I just hope the people I tried to convince then, when something could have been done to stop the dominos from falling, are hanging their heads in shame realizing that the danger was real, imminent, and would in time become, like a juggernaut, unstoppable.

The protesters of the 60's were often advised to work within the system they so detested. Bad advice in hindsight.
