Our Schools Teach Our Kids to Love Socialism. Let’s Teach them Liberty.
Today, that mission has been betrayed. In a cruel twist of fate, American public education now often does the opposite. Instead of teaching students to resist despotism and preserve liberty, much of our education system has been captured by ideologues who program young people against our country’s history and principles a total disaster. It is the duty of every free citizen who cares about our country to stand against this perversion of our educational system.
Every day, there are American students who enter classrooms where they learn to hate capitalism and admire socialism the deadliest ideology in human history. According to recent polls, 60% of young Democrats view socialism favorably, while support for capitalism among those under 30 has plummeted to just 40%.
The success of these divisive ideas represents a profound failure in American education. At a time when communist China threatens our security and neo-Marxist ideas infiltrate our institutions; we are raising a generation dangerously ignorant of communism’s brutal legacy and increasingly receptive to the very ideas that led to over 100 million deaths in the 20th century.

This message applies particularly to law schools. It was bad at Yale in the 1980s. I suspect it’s worse now. But law schools now are pretty much all super-majority socialist. I’m not sure how this can be fixed.
