Totalitarianism on Campus

Universities were designed to be centers for the exploration of knowledge.  Far too many, however, have become little more than indoctrination centers for the so-called “progressive movement,” a shoddy synonym for socialist politics.

The descent of American colleges was first significantly noted in 1987, when author Allan Bloom published his landmark book, “The closing of the American Mind.” He reported that the curriculum rejected rationality and reality.  The situation has since grown worse.

Throughout the nation, professors, students, and guest speakers alike who challenge the leftist orthodoxy are harassed and marginalized.  Insane policies that defy the very foundation of the First Amendment have been enacted to prevent the free exchange of ideas. Political correctness—which in practice can include the rejection of anything that challenges left wing biases—has replaced open discourse.

Clear examples of an increasingly totalitarian bent can be seen in the treatment of teachers and guest lecturers who refuse to kowtow to the Leftist academic establishment.

Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is an extraordinary and fascinating person.  An African American woman who rose to the position of Secretary of State, she is eloquent, brilliant and modest. She also happens to not pander to left wing stereotypes, and therefore the progressive establishment utterly despises her.

Following her invitation to serve as commencement speaker at New Jersey’s Rutgers College, the usual collection of extremists protested vigorously. In a move that symbolizes her integrity, Ms. Rice wrote that  “Commencement should be a time of joyous celebration for the graduates and their families,” and decided not to attend the ceremony.

We need to take a hard look at our universities, which charge continuously skyrocketing tuition fees for the privilege of a four year experience that used to be provided free in Soviet reeducation camps in Siberia.
