The Takeover of Institutions by Left-wing Radicals
Left-wing radicals have infiltrated various institutions, including universities, K-12 schools, and even Fortune 100 companies. Their ideology was fully formed in the late 1960s, but the placement of their ideas within institutions has evolved over time. By identifying weak points in institutions, they have gained power and influence. The failure of universities to resist the radical left can be attributed to a lack of intellectual and character defenses. This infiltration has resulted in a wholesale recomposition of academic life, with left-wing radicals now dominating many aspects of these institutions.
