Having lived through much of this (cultural suicide), I place the start of the Leftist takeover at the Vietnam "peace" rallies of the 60's, and the Leftists of those days' reaction to the draft. They stayed in college as long as possible in order to minimize their chances of being drafted, then realized that being in college in one capacity or another is not a bad gig. Little work to do, not much money, but the chance of becoming, in time, a Professor or Administrator, which is an incredibly good gig.
Ultimately, there were so many of them - draft dodging Leftists - that they were in a position to take over the institutions. Teachers who would not toe the Leftist line were shunned, applicants who didn't have the "correct" attitudes and philosophies were rejected, and ultimately it resulted in what we have today: colleges are Leftist indoctrination centers, from top to bottom. And of course the Ivies and other top universities were not immune - look at Yale, Harvard, Princeton et al today.
The same thing happened in most of the urban and suburban school districts in the country, aided and abetted by Democrat politicians who invited the two awful Teachers' unions into their midst. Hence public K-12 is what it is today.
And the same thing happened in government - mainly the Federal government. People chose to work there, not because they wanted to be public servants, but because they wanted to, in effect, rule the world by the way they performed their official duties. This is why we have the horrible Deep State today. (If any reader wants to see & hear a great explication of same, watch a replay of Tucker's opening monologue last night (6/6); it is CLASSIC).
Same thing had always been going on in "Hollywood," but it rose to overwhelming prominence...the Leftists control almost all narratives in all of the scripted programming and films.
So the Left controls Academe, the entertainment media, and the rank & file of government workers at all levels.
And it is not enough to observe it and shake your head; we must FIGHT IT at every turn. Expose the lies, the corruption, the blatant nonsense that are at the core of their mission. And hope that the American people are paying attention.
History has proven the Vietnam protestors to be right……they were the true Patriots
There is no Deep State……it is just another RW myth
