While you were sleeping, radical 1960s leftists took over the education system
How have we come to the point where so many criminals, terrorists and radical leftists from the 1960’s hold so many prominent positions in American academia?

How 1960s Radicals Ended Up Teaching Your Kids
Last week, Rutgers University fired its mercurial basketball coach after he was videotaped “shoving, grabbing and throwing balls at players in practice and using gay slurs,” according to ESPN. Under pressure from school administrators, Rutgers’ athletic director, who had previously defended the coach’s behavior, resigned. It was an appropriate response: violent oafs should be fired from their university jobs for violent, oafish behavior.
On the same day ESPN broadcast the Rutgers tape, The New York Post reported that Kathy Boudin, a professor at Columbia University, was named the 2013 Sheinberg Scholar-in-Residence at NYU Law School. In 1984, Boudin, a member of the Weather Underground, a violent, oafish association of upper-class “revolutionaries,” pled guilty to second-degree murder in association with the infamous 1981 Brinks armored car robbery in Nyack, New York. Babbling in the language of anti-racism and anti-imperialism, Boudin assisted in ending the life of three people, including Waverly Brown, the first black police officer on the Nyack police force, and left nine children fatherless. She was sentenced to 20 years to life in prison. In 2003, Boudin was released; by 2008 she had landed a coveted teaching position at an Ivy League university.
Indeed, Boudin’s Columbia University biography doesn’t mention her violent past, describing her simply as “an educator and counselor with experience in program development since 1964, working within communities with limited resources to solve social problems.” Neither does an official NYU press release announcing her new gig, instead explaining that Boudin “has been dedicated to community involvement in social change since the 1960’s.” Well, that’s one way of putting it. (Boudin didn’t respond to an interview request.)

The reason why the Weather Underground killers rarely went to prison and when they did, why they easily found jobs in fairly high-end universities is simple: their mommies and daddies kept the nasty cops from arresting them, paid off politicians to dismiss charges and talked their college chums into giving their poor misunderstood babies a second chance at life teaching at their school. Any of those folks whose parents weren’t rich or politically connected or both got to do time; but they still got the leg up into the academic world. The same way it happens now, only difference is that their kids’ crimes aren’t as notorious, like the college prof who killed her brother years ago and whose family got her off. Thirty-plus years later? She kills a couple of fellow academics during a meeting about her not getting tenure. The law is a lot different for most of you college kids than it is for the kids of working class people; always has been, always will be. That’s what the so-called progressives and moderate RINOs are working for: to keep their privileges as the lords of the land.
