I forgot to recommend William F. Buckley’s first book, “God and Man at Yale”. It was an expose of the progressivist views of a sizable segment of the university’s faculty, written for fellow alumni who were making sizable contributions to the institution. He thought they would be interested to know. Apparently, not enough.
The book is still in print.

In reply to Spurwing Plover.

Back to college Spurwing. “They are” or “They’re” – not their or there. And a collage is a collection of pictures or art.

This is a good time for me to say what I’ve been thinking for years. If we want to overcome the brainwashing that is going on in the nation’s public schools and institutions of higher learning, those of us who love Liberty and believe in the founding principles of American government will need to add one more thing to Mr. Rider’s list of things to do:

Establish our own private schools with our own money.

It would help our Cause if we took the ancient code of Western Tradition seriously by following the Ten Commandments & Golden Rule (the latter is considered the summation of the Laws of God and Nature) and teaching our children to do the same AND teaching them why: our obedience to these commandments is the only guarantee we have for protection of one another’s God-given rights and Liberty. Government cannot do it if we fail to follow this code.

Cause and Effect.

If you doubt what I’m saying, read carefully Exodus 20:1-17, Deuteronomy 5:6-20, Matthew 5, 6 & 7. Consider the consequences if everyone lived by this code and consider the consequences if nobody did. Teach your children to consider these consequences.

The blessings and curses are just another way of saying desirable or undesirable outcomes. Our words and deeds have consequences.

“Liberty is…a power to do as we would be done by.”
John Adams, 1819

Here’s my standard comment I post every time this topic comes up — my effort to cut off the funding for PC colleges:

With rare exception (Hillsdale College, for instance), college campuses today have become “progressive” propaganda mills — reeducation camps (MIS-education camps) that effectively brainwash students to despise the free market, capitalism, property rights, the rule of law, free speech — indeed, freedom and liberty, period. The campuses seethe with PC obsessions — themselves changeable with the current trend.

Today’s “college experience” usually includes this concerted effort by the left to mold the young into dutiful leftists who are tolerant of any diversity — EXCEPT diversity of opinion.

GUT the colleges — especially the liberal arts colleges. Don’t give ’em a dime. Wealthy alumni fondly remember hazy halcyon days of campus life — often not aware of how lockstep the PC oppression has become. No mas!

As a college alumnus, what’s the best thing you can do for your college? Send them a letter telling them WHY you’ll never give them money. Send a copy to the campus newspaper. Send a copy to your your local paper. Post it up online.

Still want to donate? Good. Contribute to think tanks that champion Western values and classical liberalism. Ideally include them in your wills and trusts.

I do. Reason, Heritage, AEI, CATO Institute and Institute for Justice are some of my favorites.

It’s just good business to at least CLAIM favoring the return of free speech to campuses. Many alumni doubtless are closing their wallets to fundraising solicitations. And pissed off voters will be less inclined to vote higher taxes for these bastions of highly censured progressive-controlled political thought.
