The American education system exists to manufacture angry, activist, voting liberals
It is perfectly fitting that Charlie was killed on a college campus. That is the battleground.

This is part three in a series. I’d encourage you to read one
and two,
as the opinions I share are better understood within the larger context.
In a quick summary: Karens and liberals are the death of American greatness, and the factories which produce them must be destroyed for our survival. The first factory: big government where a bureaucrat flunkey whose personal emotional weakness of inner fears “climate change gives me anxiety” leads him to use his position to ban gas stoves as is already the case in California. And not just gas stoves but gas hot water heaters, leaf blowers, generators, furnaces, weedwackers. Important to note Californians never voted to have their property deemed illegal. It was decided, unilaterally, by the government machine where liberals see their authority as a vehicle to push agenda and rule over you without your input. For democracy, or something.
The next pernicious liberalism factory we’ll discuss is higher education. Really all education, as innumerous examples of children as young as kindergarten being told by so-called teachers that their gender is a choice and the abortion is healthcare… but I will limit my advocacy for education scorched earth to higher ed: colleges and universities (C’s & U’s).
The goal of the American university system is no longer to educate but to manufacture angry, activist, voting liberals.

Almost a decade ago a Yale professor had the nerve to tell students at Halloween to accept costumes even if deemed “offensive”. At the time, I remember laughing at the overblown and insane response of students who were “literally shaking” at the mere idea someone might dress as Pocahontas.
That was a prelude to where we are now. Today, personal offense is license for justifiable violence, and the schools will say nothing. Yesterday’s crying Yale student is today’s dangerous Columbia student where recently “Free Palestine” activists attacked a janitor for the crime of cleaning the building where Jewish students had gathered.
One of the agitators, Mahmoud Khalil, became a household name when the Trump Administration begin the process of his deportation. 1800 professors have boycotted Columbia University for not protecting Khalil.
No such boycott for the cause of the janitor…
Higher education insanity is not new. Berkley was an activist mess starting in the late 1960’s… but the insanity is deeply intensifying. When Riley Gains tried to speak at San Francisco University, she was not just heckled or protested, she was assaulted and forced to take shelter in a locked classroom. Her crime: believing that men should not compete against women in sports.
Kids make mistakes, even smart kids at smart universities, so let us give them an enormous measure of grace saying their protest “got out of hand” but then it behooves the university administrators to set things straight, right? Right?
The administration stood with the students.
No one was expelled or even disciplined. You dare to come on our campus and say men who castrate themselves cannot get pregnant? You deserve the violence you get. Put simply: make me stop hitting you.
And that proves my point: C’s & U’s are not about education but factories for turning out liberals. Ms. Gains brought an ideology which threatens it, and that threat had to be eliminated.
The greatest threat to C’s & U’s was Charlie Kirk, and he was successfully eliminated. Look at the response from the left. “I condemn violence, but Charlie Kirk…” deserved it. If you didn’t want to die you wouldn’t have spoken these words on our campus.
Charlie knew C’s & U’s were a problem. It’s why he set up his organization and focused on them. It’s why he pitched his tent on their quads. It’s why he called it “Turning Point” because young people were being steered into the abyss, and he was desperate to share with them another direction which points towards freedom.
It is perfectly fitting that Charlie was killed on a college campus. That is the battleground.
The left dominates C’s & U’s by eliminating choice. It’s a common tactic of the left. If we don’t allow a Christmas display, then eventually people will stop celebrating the Christian season. If we prohibit conservative thought, then eventually people will think liberalism is the only acceptable way to think.
The left even does it to their own kind. Look at Kamala: eliminate the ability for others to run and you get their version of unity.
To maintain the purity of liberalism, every course, every discipline, becomes aligned to goal of inculcating and solidifying liberalism. Jordan Peterson began his meteoric rise as an international thought leader because he refused to align his work as a clinical psychologist to the university’s wokeness agenda.
There is no less wiggle room in the hard sciences, either.
A University of Pittsburgh Anthropology professor claims there is no difference in male and female skeletons defying both basic biology and… anthropology.
A University of Wisconsin Dean declares that math is violence against blacks. No one knows what that even means.
Such professors do not want to teach Anthropology or Math. They want to teach liberalism. And they keep such stupidity afloat with “purity.” Upwards of 95% of university faculty and personnel are liberal. They create a culture which only allows liberalism, denying any alternative to liberalism, for the sole purpose of churning out liberals. Who cares if they are dumb or their degrees are useless (last year more than 15,000 people graduated with a degree in gender studies) they are liberal and more importantly the graduates will vote liberal.
In America, 28% of the population identifies as “liberal”. At C’s & U’s, it’s 50%. At post-grad levels, it’s 75%. The factories produce them very successfully en masse.
This is how we get statistics like “97% of scientists agree” that climate change is a threat. It is how we got medical professionals pushing mask mandates and social distancing even when science (and common sense) demonstrated their futility to the layman. Who needs science when you have a cause?
And the cause is liberalism.
We cannot shut down Harvard. We cannot prevent people from attending Brown. But we sure as hell can stop giving them tax dollars.
And you can stop sending your kid there. Yes, it sounds impressive when you say “my son is at Yale” but what is the value of 18 years of raising him on your values and beliefs only to have all your work undone in four years. Even worse, you are paying for it. Stop paying people to turn your kid into a liberal.
President Trump has rightfully targeted higher education since Day One, and that is a key front in the culture war no republican would ever, ever, have the courage to launch. We have reverence for teachers and hold academia in high regard. I once did, too.
3.3 million people will graduate college in 2026, and the majority will become a thorn in your side, scolding you for misgendering or chastising you for your views on Palestine. They will vote for more taxes, open borders, and reparations. They will speak of stolen land and carbon footprints. They will find a Christmas tree offensive but celebrate a burqa. Millions more liberals, poisoned brained liberal pains in the ass that we must absorb into society, churned out by C’s & U’s to dilute our righteous patriotism.
We will not win this war unless the factories pumping out the enemy combatants are destroyed.
Honor and courage.

Agree!
College is a place where kids are taught to HATE AMERICA 🇺🇸 & God!
It’s for indoctrination and total debachery! The recent college graduates I’ve trained have no work ethic, no problem-solving skills (they just run to HR blaming everyone else), poor grammar and basic math skills, and are so immature!
