Trouble in the Heartland - Anti-American protesting for class credit at Ball State

FrontPage magazine.com :: Recruiting for Terror at Ball State by Thomas Ryan:
"Demonstrations, protests, and “social activism” are a large part of the Center for Peace and Conflict Studies’ curriculum. In Wolfe’s “Introduction to Peace Studies and Conflict Resolution” class, participation in such anti-war demonstrations counts as one of three options by which students are graded. Mock states that students were recruited from his class to attend anti-war rallies, and that students “received extra academic credit as an incentive to go.” These academically-credited protests were specifically organized by Wolfe’s activist group, PeaceWorkers, whose agendas are leftwing and anti-American military."

It saddens me more than a little to read of such leftist subversion permeating Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana. That was my mother's home state and at least three relatives on my mother's side trained there to be teachers, a great aunt who taught in Ohio for half a century and two second cousins whose father served in WW2.

Of course this is just a tip of the iceberg thing. This sort of fashionable leftism is ascendant at colleges and universities all across America. All the usual suspects from the anti-freedom coalition of the 60s - communists of various tendencies (Maoist, Stalinist, Trotskyite, etc.), anarchists. social gospel preachers, democratic socialsists and other "progressive" elements - who went to grad school as an excuse to keep the movement alive on campuses are, by now, in senior faculty and administrative positions and have been grooming their successors for a generation.

These people should be preaching on soapboxes in the parks, objects of derision for passersby, not subverting our youth at public expense until the country rots from within and falls to the ground like over-ripe fruit as Lenin, I believe it was, predicted.
