Marxist Madrassas: The Hostile Takeover of Higher Education in America

Several excellent books have been written about leftist domination of higher education. This book goes further, making the case that the old brick-and-mortar schools which have been taken over by the left can and should be replaced with true centers of learning that offer real academic freedom, and courses that teach marketable skills at a reduced cost. The kind of “political revolution” we need in this country is not of the socialist variety. Rather, it’s a way forward that offers real learning through alternative educational institutions that provide online opportunities and career-advancement to students where they live and work. It means defunding the expensive and corrupt “Marxist Madrassas” and launching a true revolution in learning. ASI President Cliff Kincaid argues that the process of subversion in higher education has been going on too long, even at Catholic colleges, to hope for reform of the academic institutions that have been captured and rotted from within. “We need to defund those that already exist, and create new institutions to replace those in the hands of the cultural Marxists,” he says. “Breaking up the liberal media monopoly has been a great step forward. Breaking up the liberal monopoly in higher education has yet to be accomplished. It is absolutely essential, however, in order to maintain academic freedom and freedom in general in society. Dr. Tina Trent notes that, “As growing numbers of students and their parents are finally noticing, American college and university campuses rank among the least intellectually free places in our nation.” She analyzes the State University of New York at New Paltz, which banned Cliff Kincaid from campus in March of 2016, and its Office of Compliance and Campus Climate.
