It goes deeper than this. There are a number of professors who are outspoken apologists for Communist dictators. For example,
Grover Furr, a professor in Medieval English at Montclair State University, from the deep blue pro-Obama state of New Jersey, “recently denied Soviet Union Leader Joseph Stalin was responsible for the murder of millions, saying he has ‘yet to find one crime – one crime that Stalin committed.’ . . . I know they say he killed 20, 30, 40 million people,’ but ‘It’s bulls**t.’” Our tax dollars at work educating the next generation of freeloading voters.
Most students are in college on someone else’s dime. State universities are funded by tax payers. In-state tuition is subsidized by money confiscated by property owners in the form of property taxes, sales taxes, and state income taxes.
Most young people grow up under socialism. Everything is paid for them – food, clothing, shelter – by someone else, namely, their parents. They expect their parents to pay for their college education as well, and when they can’t afford it, it’s off to government-backed loans and grants and subsidized tuition.
Let’s not forget that one of the planks of the Communist Manifesto is, in addition to “a heavy progressive or graduated income tax” is “free education for all children in public schools.” “Free education comes with a price – bondage to the State. A majority of California voters voted to increase taxes on the wealthy to pay for their “free” education. Karl Marx would be so proud.
