The ChiComs had a good idea concerning “intellectuals”: ship them all out to the country to work on pig farms to maintain their connection to the people.

An American variant of this might be that of making a requirment for grad students and professors to work at regular jobs, i.e., flipping burgers and working at Walmart.

You can’t be serious. You are endorsing a ChiCom practice that was a mainstay of the Cultural Revolution?

Do you realize that the Chinese college professors were persecuted because they were often less radical, and in fact sometimes downright conservative, compared to the Maoist communists?

By the way, a lot of graduate students have regular jobs. I did when I was a graduate student.

Forcing a heavy-handed program of government decreed indoctrination on them is EXACTLY what the communists would do. Way to go siding with the communist scum, buddy.

Instead, encourage better universities: Thomas Aquinas College, Christendom, Ave Maria University, Patrick Henry, Hillsdale, etc. Insist on Horowitz’ free speach/bill of rights proposals.
