Benno C. Schmidt Quote

"The most serious problems of freedom of expression in our society today exist on our campuses. The assumption seems to be that the purpose of education is to induce correct opinion rather than to search for wisdom and to liberate the mind….Attitudes on campuses often presage tendencies in the larger society. If that is so with respect to freedom of expression, the erosion of principle we have seen throughout our society in recent years may be only the beginning…"

YES, an acutely accurate observation in the obvious. The specific induction of opinion is religiously based without consideration of fact, freedom, liberty, individual sovereignty, etc. at nature's law.  -- Mike, Norwalk

This didn't happen overnight.  It has been a long haul since at least the 60's when the Ivy League schools that were founded as seminaries became hotspots for secular progressive liberalism.  Yale is but a shadow of its former self, and has become a bastion of Marxist thought.   The politicization of college education is primarily fueled by government grants and guaranteed loans which have compounded the expense of education beyond any possible return in value to the students except for indoctrinating them with leftist ideals. Another often overlooked fact, is that with a fiat money system enthroned by the FDR progressives, all the money in circulation is 'minted' by 'borrowing' it — i.e. credit/debt.  Student loans make up a considerable percentage of the money in circulation, along with mortgage debt, credit card debt, auto debt and good ol' government debt.  This has been another banker's trick to expanding the money supply without an equal backing of labor/capital in return, thus more inflation. Ever-expanding unpayable debt is the master plan of the socialists/communists (it's a founding plank).  Which is also why not one college kid in a million knows anything about it!  -- E Archer, NYC      3
