We don’t have ex-hippies and flower children from the 60s running America today.

Hippies/flower children were not getting law degrees and PHDs, and building business careers and going to college, by definition they were dropping out, and seeking their own lives, not being yippies, and passionate members of the political world and government, and institutions, and difficult lifetime careers in the straight world.

• 45 Communist Goals (1963) Congressional Record--Appendix, pp. A34-A35 January 10, 1963

  17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers' associations. Put the party line in textbooks.

  18. Gain control of all student newspapers.

• Partial transcript of 1985 video interview of KGB defector Yuri Alexander Bezmenov,:

  Most of the people who (reeducated) in the sixties, drop-outs or half-baked intellectuals are now occupying the positions of power in the government, civil service,business, mass media, educational system. You are stuck with them. You cannot get rid of them. They are contaminated. They are programmed to think and react to certain stimuli in a certain pattern. You cannot change their mind even if you expose them to authentic information, even if you prove that white is white and black is black you still cannot change the basic perception and illogical behavior."

  "In other words, these people, the process of demoralization is complete and irreversible. To get rid society of these people you need another twenty or fifteen years to educate a new generation of patriotically-minded and commonsense people who would be acting in favor and in the interests of the United States society."

  “…It's a great brainwashing process which goes very slow and is divided into four basic stages. The first one being demoralization. It takes from fifteen to twenty years to demoralize a nation. Why that many years? Because this is the minimum number of years required to educate one generation of students in the country of your enemy, exposed to the ideology of the enemy. In other words, Marxism, Leninism ideology is being pumped into the soft heads of at least three generations of American students, without being challenged or contra-balanced by the basic values of Americanism, American patriotism….”

• The Origins of Political Correctness by Bill Lind delivered to various AIA conferences including the 2000 Conservative University at American University:

  "...The totalitarian nature of Political Correctness is revealed nowhere more clearly than on college campuses, many of which at this point are small ivy covered North Koreas, where the student or faculty member who dares to cross any of the lines set up by the gender feminist or the homosexual-rights activists, or the local black or Hispanic group, or any of the other sainted "victims" groups that PC revolves around, quickly find themselves in judicial trouble. Within the small legal system of the college, they face formal charges – some star-chamber proceeding – and punishment. That is a little look into the future that Political Correctness intends for the nation as a whole...."
