I graduated from Cal Berkeley in 1990. 95% of my friends and classmates were rank liberals who thought Jesse Jackson would be a great president, “diversity” was only meaningful if compulsory, marajuana should be legal, AIDS is nobody’s fault but evil Republicans, the US is responsible for the third world’s plight, Communism is a great system badly implemented, trickle-down economics is unfair… I could go on and on. You remember the 80′s. Anyway these students didn’t acquire these views from their college professors, they showed up on campus already thinking this way. They were the top students in their high schools and probably more informed and engaged than most of their peers. How did they become such leftists? Answer: high school teachers and the media. If we ignore the propaganda from the high school teachers we are missing a huge chunk of the problem. We all know to be suspect of the media but we forget that some of those teens are actually listening in their classes and absorbing the left-wing dogma that will become the future’s policy.
