Anarchic violence against students administrators literally under siege from radicalized minority students demanding social justice payback payback, students wailing about the retreating into segregated spaces. Our former institutions of Higher Learning have degenerated into circuses of militant irrationality and radicalism. How did it come to this . To answer that question you can do no better than to read David Horowitz book to left in University Volume eight in the latest edition to a series of collective desk with the conservative writings including the black book of the american left including essays from 1993 to 2010 and addresses what David Horowitz described as one of the underappreciated tragedies of our time the campaign of the left to support the curricula of collegiate institutions and transform entire schools and departments into doctrinal Training Centers for social and political causes for this campaign arguably has done more to steer america towards the left the left goal of the fundamental transformation of this country than any other strategy and cultural marxism. If the chronicle said campaigner for next quarter century and gave of davids efforts to bring political neutrality and intellectual integrity to college classrooms. You party now David Horowitz is the author of too many books and articles to name all of them essential reading for understanding the radical left and waging war against it but among the minor times bestsellers radical son unholy alliance and most recently big agenda president trumps plan to save america. If you have heard me introduce david before youve no doubt heard the call and the leftmost hated apostate because he knows them better than they know themselves and that makes him an existential threat to them and invaluable to us. Please welcome the author of the left and the university and the founder of the freedom center, David Horowitz. [applause] thank you markieff. Thank you everybody for coming. Last week i was at the university of houston in houston where do we before they had held a National Conference for students for justice in palestine. The university hosted students for justice in palestine is a creature of the terrorist Organization Hamas and its a hamas propaganda network. I brought along a little clip to show you so you can share with me. Mahmoud also herat was the founder. Theres no place we can choose among us and you have no future among the nations of this world and had to annihilation. To do destroy the jewish state and annihilate its [inaudible] [inaudible] [chanting] [chanting] [chanting] [chanting] [chanting] [chanting] that was seven minutes into my talk and died said at the outset of the talk when i was a radical at her glee and columbia in the 60s i always wanted to hear what the other side had to say because i felt that would make me a better radical. I would have an argument. Those days are gone. The greatest american tragedy of my lifetime is the destruction of our educational system by progressives and its conversion into an indoctrination and the Recruitment Center for this theological left. This book that ive written, the left in university is the fifth book that i have written about the university. The problem which has been 50 years in the making and it has a special interest because its really dispatches from the war front. What i wrote engaging in a battle to restore Academic Freedom to the university, to restore the modern Research University to basically our liberal arts colleges in the principles of it. I base my campaign which was for an academic goal of rights for students on the very famous Academic Freedom statement of the American Association of University Professors which these days is run by stalinists who are not happy with my proposals. I took their 19 teen statement which was really the statement that created the modern Research University basing it on scientific pencils and scientific procedures. That is you have a hypothesis and you try to test it by evidence and of course in a liberal arts field humanity, sociology Political Science there is no way its conducting the kind of experiments the scientists actually do so every and issue is controversial 1915 statement said its not the place of a faculty member in a democracy to indoctrinate his or her students but to present them with divergent opinions in a fairminded way because the task the teacher and the democracy is to teach students how to think not tell them what to think. What has actually happened over the last six years is that the political left and i suspect a lot of my generation of radicals stayed in the universities and pursued academics to avoid the draft, to avoid fighting communism which they sympathize with. The reverted them in the 19th century all of them were religious institutions. You are there to install the doctrines of the particular denomination. Because their training ministers and priests. Thats what the universities have become today. Except the religious doctrines they teach and instill the doctrines of narcissism. Identity politics which is culturalism which ill explain shortly. For those of you who are mystified that college students, its not believe me there a faculty cohort behind these these proud students and anti learning students. When i was a radical that i consider myself a marxist revolutionary at the time, i wanted to hear what they were saying. I wanted to answer them. I was in school to learn how to do that. Thats where i perceived it. If you want to understand why there is a concerted effort to shut down the everett other side, its because these are religious institutions and did not dealing with the divergence of opinion as they would in a democracy, theyre dealing with the religious heresy. What you do is you burn them at the stake if you have enough power to do that. Or, you just close them down as is happening to university of michigan, and other conservatives. Ill take it all personally. What happened is beginning in the 70s the left saw the students the first thing they did was begin a purge of conservatives from faculties by not hiring them. Today conservatives are as rare as unicorns. They then purged books that required reading list. The average student will go through four years of a college in our country to never encountered a conservative adult or read a book by conservative who has a endeavor hundred years. Then they purged conservative ideas from the curriculum. They did that by inventing studies, black studies, womens studies, these are all political fields, theyre about leftwing politics. You cannot be a conservative them via womens studies professor. Womens studies is not about the academic study of women, its about training marxist feminists. Training students in the marxist idea that the environment determines everything. That we are socially constructed. This is a socially influenced and socially constructed. The Neuroscience Department you learn that is hardwired into the biological system. So the fields are so constructed that cannot be part of it. That is some of the founders of womens studies who actually believe they should be about the study of women. Ive encouraged and treated by enemies by these political radicals. The next thing they did was prevent conservative discourse from one of the outside. Now we go to campus and get treated like this of course the newspaper there was part of the demonstration on anything that i said. So the university was deaf to my presence which is the agenda of the left. But until about 2001 i was reminded of one of the chapters of my book is called and chorale. So she is physically attacked when she was speaking. And if you think having to be thrown at you at highspeed is an intimidating, it is. In 2001 i conducted a campaign that i thought it was a hundred and 70 years after the fact from people who are slaveowners. I thought that the discretion to say so. When i was invited i asked the chancellor, i knew that to speak at berkeley which they can convey and asked them to introduce me is just to protect the students. They six guys in jackets in the bathroom and kicked open the stall doors. I remember saying out loud this is an absolute disgrace in america. When you have officials like that theres no way to stop it. You have to expel students who do student things like this. Plato and aristotle taught now the university i believe was a pretty good school it was all interested in discussing ideas with me about attacking political. But that obviously has changed. They started to get physically attacked so they had not enabled on a college campus. Did not have a bodyguard when i was at butler and i was attacked it was during pie in my face which is an physically damaging but there is a picture on the internet a me looking pathetic. I had been physically attacked were violence would hurt me. I could never finish a speech when i spoke to the university of houston there about ten cops in uniform. A nurse to undercover cops in the audience and they knew now that they would be arrested if they did anything. Theres not going to be an exchange of ideas. In only three times ever been invited by faculty. The fact that the matter i are decent people on faculties across the country. None of them have the courage to stand up. The solution to the berkeley problem or any of these problems was the faculty tip in together and invite conservatives datatype that i first free speech. There are no such people. Thats a huge problem. The damage to the whole university system. Its one Party Classrooms. Its a oneparty state. You get one point of view. But on i think one third of millennials think george bush killed more people than stalin. 25 of the students who actually know levin was thinking is a great guy. I could go on and on with these things. But this has affected our judiciary. You wonder why the media is such a disgraceful these days . Is it is because of the way people communicate. The university of texas when i went there the professor of communication was a bolshevik. An international organization, inside the lecture hall or leading chance like a mini seven top of my talk here. There is a nice chancellor who came on this was in the good old days and said you will be arrested if you continue with this administration. Usually they come in and say these administrators dont say a word to me, they dont say there is a space for people who are disturbed. As we show you a couple weeks ago i was in washington, d. C. I look called up the education and told them i was coming. Fifteen years ago is probably the leading conservative critic of what was going on and universities. The chronicle allowed me to write a piece for them called in defense of intellectual diversity. They invited me and i was treated and featured in the profile on the front page of the chronicle because i was such a prominent critic. I told them i had a new book which i would like them to review. I sent them a copy to look over. And the editors who are treated me well is somewhat failing 15 years ago the one that invited me did not show up for the meeting, but they had ten editors and reporters shooting you questions for an hour. Then they asked me if i would come to a room and videotape an interview for ten minutes. Theyre gonna put up it right away on the website. When i left i got an email that they were not to put it up. There is not a trace of my visit the chronicle of higher education. That is the intellectual journal, there is no dialogue. So what is the religion that they teach . Its very important. The religion as you know his identity politics which is really cultural marxism area and i will explain that in a moment. Marxism is a view of the world in which society is divided into classes. The manifesto and the history of all society is the history of class struggles. Thats what marxists believe. But we wouldnt have these two ideas here, the first is that peoples class is a determinant factor. When the bolsheviks came to power they set out to eliminate classes and by eliminating it was at the point of a gun which is what they did. So first you erase the individual the whole society is based on individual rights and accountability. But if you have a marxist view its about classes. This is classical marxism that i grew up with. The second ideas that society is divided into oppressors and oppressed. Theres the ruling class and the working class. The third idea is there civil war between the classes. A conflict that can only be resolved violently. This had a seer certain coherence. The idea was private property that creates the classes is responsible for all social problems. So if you have a revolution, the revolution was to take away the ownership and means of production to the middle class and put everybody in one class. There is a coherence to that because after you eliminate the presser class where everybody is an equal because this is a delusional idea. It led to the deaths of 100 Million People in the 20th century. Very distracted. If you take away peoples identity as individuals and the american idea Martin Luther kings idea that you judge people by the content of their character. However cultural marxism is 100 times worse. Society is divided into races, ethnicities, genders. The way they judge who is depressed is who is marginal. If you dress yourself up and have a mustache and put rabbit ears on your head, of course were marginal. Look around you. You will be marginal. That doesnt mean we are oppressed. Jews are marginal, they been marginal throughout history. And persecuted for that matter. But this is a very pernicious idea that society is divided into an Oppressor Group based on race, based on gender or sexual orientation. In that ideology is one of four. Ive discussed this before but it hasnt been picked up by people but it needs to be picked up by conservatives, people of color, people of color is not a group. Its not an identity of interest. Do you think had a common interest, that pakistanis and indians have a common interest . There were with each other. Example i have given his mexico you have two main ethnic groups for the conquistadors and the defendants of the indians are oppressed but when they cross the border and the United States the people of color therefore oppressed. Therefore deserving special interest in special allowances, you dont look at what they do, if they break the law im not suggesting the left is good at converting everything you say. It is comfort power on these oppressed groups. If you look at the world, people of color, be headers in syria, isis members are people of color, these monsters in africa, dictators are people of color. Everybody in the world is people of color except the bad evil oppressive white people. The biggest. Problem we have is antiwhite racism. People you would think had brains talk about america as a white supremacist nation. His lunatic. Yes, there are some Ku Klux Klans around and some white supremacist, what are they . 500 out of a nation of 330 million . The ku klux klan once had 11 senators and 75 congressmen. The actual white supremacist were members of congress. Theres some black supremacist in congress, tell you that. Same thing with nazis and neonazis. Their hitler youth is what they are. Literally. But hearing an organization that wants to exterminate the jews in so many words which i read more statements and you need to know the extermination of jews is their agenda. I could go on and on about it but this is the greatest problem are country faces. Everybody is a progressive and seeing everything in racial gender terms. I lied about it. Who really care paid on the idea that women are somehow oppressed in this country to the extent there is a gender wage gap. Women actually 24 cents less on the dollar than men for the same work in the same experience in job. Thats a big lie. And hillary knows its a lie because she was around when a male dominated congress in 1963 pass the equal pay for equal work act making it illegal to pay women less than men. As i said many times, you can show in one sentence why it is a lie and if it were true employers will fire all their marion ploys, higher women increase their profits. It doesnt happen because its a lie. Yet, wheres the media, where the sensible people in our public life pointing this out . They dont exist. Thats because of our corrupted educational system. The moderate university. I got my model of what i wanted the university to look like. What a colombian the 50s alyssa marxists. I was never harassed by my professors the way conservative kids are harassed these days. Students in the class had one opinion they took the opposite to teach us how to think. This one of the great achievements of mankind real story, doesnt exist. Whats going on in schools like harvard and yale is disgraceful. Its all over youtube, you can see it. So is there a solution . Well, theres two ways of looking at the question, sure, my bill of rights was one attempt on a solution if they just observe universities. The principles they preach, everything would be fine, but they dont. There is not an administrator in this country who has reached out to ann coulter myself or any of the conservative speakers and attempt to reverse this quick. Heres my proposal. In doing the bill of rights i have looked at external forces, we passed a few resolutions supporting the idea. But no legislation and no wielding a political power. The left has convinced me that appeals to reason her for utile. So here is how i would fix it today. Thirtythree states the republicans control the state legislators. The Appropriations Committee in both houses a legislator, and every one of these states controls the lifeline for the president of these universities. Of course in Public Institutions 85 of her students go to public universities. All the chairman of the Appropriations Committee would have to do is call the president of the university and say, you are constantly coming to me to make possible this for your university or that. And of course to advance your careers because you are judged on what you can bring to the university. I have three things i want from you. If i dont get them, i will not answer your phone calls ever again. First, what you to provide me with the required reading list for the undergraduate courses. And i will submit that to whatever conservative big takes. They were looking over to see if theres this parity between the conservative bucks you require on the conservative offers you require students to read. One Party Classroom i studied under 170 courses i can tell you they are conservative book that doesnt even propose on the professor. To ridicule about the complaints i had i still the law school in the complaint was every time Anthony Scalia or Clarence Thomas codes openly thats away from stopping people from having submitted those lists to me i was you to see that all of the required readings those lists, theres parities between the second thing i want you to do is provide me with a list of all the speakers were often paid exorbitant fees although a i get 50000 the Supreme Court has already said that means they have to get the same amount of money all the speakers invited by your professor and i and i want absolute parity the third thing i want is i want i want you to begin an affirmative Action Program to diversify your faculties. You have law faculty and i could throw a dart at the Lawrence University and doesnt matter which i hit. You have a law faculty with 50 or 100 law professors into or three or republicans or conservatives. You cant tell me republicans are lawyers. I want you i want to Progress Report every semester to see your and then i will take your phone calls for your projects. There are two republicans i know who would do that. One is the president s of the United States and the other i think maybe Something Like this i want to close with going back to the university of houston this was created by the terrorist organization this is the chairman of the board for palestine which provide several hundred thousand dollars a year for students injustice verses from the university of berkeley is also the head of this is from a phobia studies program which is to slander people like me and try not to get people to listen to us. The entire agenda is to spread genocidal lies about the state of israel. It doesnt occupy an inch of the land the land on which it was created approach to the turks, never was a country called palestine its a true graphical trend the jews were the only Indigenous People of the land around the jordan palestine is a geographical area, slick new englanders. The nationality you can have criticisms of the Israeli Government like you cant have any. You cannot be spreading genocidal law that come right out of the play book calling them an apartheid state thank that created by hamas with palestine existing 97 and then invaded by jews. Third parties are the cure procedures. These kids are supported by every University Administration including the university of chicago which people plays it because you cant believe a word that comes out of their mouth these days. Ms. The university that tears down these posters. They provide offices for these hitler use they have the left with the reviewers of Muslim Brotherhood creation. But the left all arent so are doing what they can to undermine the jewish state make them vulnerable to the genocidal intentions, 30,000 rockets with the jewish state it is an utter disgrace on the silence around it and those that dont want to upset the muslim its amazing. Every times theres an atrocity all the liberals rally around services cylinders persecuted muslims. It is five or seven times the number of hate crimes against jews in this country is against muslims. Such a close i have a reform proposal appeared in the book but it would take administrators with some integrity to carry it out. I have good faith that anymore i think our country is in grave danger. They corrupt the k12 system system as well. Have no respect for you the or innocence they are on a mission from their god which is history thats why the shell shock, trapelo committed, who knows what the future would be. We could be in the dark ages. It is a battle i hope youll get involved in. We have websites that deal with this. We have campus campaigns and i hope more people on the right will join us. There are some brave members, im waiting for them to come out of the woodwork and expose this terrorist network on our campuses. This is just one piece of it giant problem that has been caused over 50 year time by the assault of the Left University thank you. [applause] no one. Thank you david. I fear were having a problem with the viewpoint. You, myself, many people in the room started off a socialist and communist. We were starting at a base to be good people and were misdirected. Once we learned about the body counts we started rethinking. I fear thats whats going on in the universities of the government wants to be doing. If you are trying to create a society of re inflating community in tierney and undermining constitutions youre doing what you want them to do. The only alternative is to call them out, dont hire people from berkeley and yale. They have inserted themselves theres so university, its a gigantic institution. Theres marvelous parts of it. Not entirely untouched but the medical and science schools personal leftist campaign to intimidate people in adopting all of the myths is a political war going on for students mines. The fact is that a University Like berkeley or houston a lot does marvelous things in medicine, physics and astrophysics and technical fields. He cant tell you people dont send your kids to harvard or yelled, its a political battle. Conservatives still like politics. This is a huge handicap. When i first came into the light look over all there is none. Politics is so dirty business outside the 18 months unless were trying to get for companies or Something Like that we go back to normal life which is creative. Were creating jobs and products, making peoples lives better. The leftist artworld the time. We create these universities and we can recreate new universities. The online universities,. I dont know much about hillsdale, but ive never been there i think because the president is a very traditional conservative it doesnt approve of confrontational politics. The fact is, these are tiny, were not work whether their endowments, for 500 billion, one of the great things trump is doing and i know the guy who propose this is part of the tax bill is an endowment tax and private universities like harvard and heal. A 10 endowment tax up a fellow student loans. Inasmuch as we have never had internet or the Media Information instantaneous. We dont need encyclopedias now, we have it all. I agree, the internet is greatly greatly increase the power of conservatives. It has broken the monopoly the left used to have. A lot of things are happening. This is the second time in the tea party. I said finally, at last the ground armies for me. Now its much bigger. Lets not underestimate the odds. I think the hardest thing for conservatives is how to understand the liberal mind. The logic. I know you said its a religion and doesnt require its a faithbased type of thing. I wrote the book on the liberal mind which would help explain some of it. Children and students are impressionable. Their minds not fully formed. But the leaders of the movement are adults. Our task since you were in that and had that perspective is young man, huddled vision utopia . Have written so much about this, the second volume in this black book series is called progressives. The difference is that conservatives slow the views of the world by looking at the past which is what human beings are capable of. Both good and bad. If you read about the founding of the country thats what they did. They studied society. That democracy was a bad system. On practical grounds. Leftist dont look at the world that way. Theyre looking at an imaginary future. His stomach communism and socialism. Ultimately its headed in the same direction. To treat people as collectives and erase their individuality. To judge them on the class position or race or gender or sexual orientation. And i was seated in terms of oppressors and oppressed. Thats what theyre thinking if you want to call it that. For them its tremendous. They think of themselves as social justice warriors. They are heroic. Theyre living in a fantasy. If you think you are saving the world you are not going to give that up. Youre not thinking logically. I watch Television Like everybody. If you get run over by terrorists truck the about gun control. That doesnt make sense. How can you do things like that . Its because the elimination of guns which their agendas as part of creating a world where we all get along. People dont get along. Thats what i want ask you. Do they just discount history . Look at nazi germany. Yes. They think theyre smarter than everybody else. Look it these are very smart people, michael moore, he doesnt come up. So now its the first time but now. Look, how does the left react to the collapse of the soviet union . The deaths of 40 Million People . How do they react . That was a real socialism. We are smarter. We could go on and on. Thats why people think. They are arrogant and stupid. Theres so much emotional satisfaction its a religion in a consolation for all the disappointments of life. Thats what it is i describe in my book the personal crisis i went through when i realize it marxism is a load of crap. It was everything to me. It made everything i did important. We can see by the when the contents for people who disagree. The arrogance, the lack of respect, its astounding. You see it every day, you say idiots, pathological liar in the case of odonnell, but just a moron in the case of joanne why she more . Theres no empathy or respect for people who disagree with her. I like to make a point they mention briefly in passing my wife is a teacher, the second largest Public School district in the United States. Second only to new york. She recently showed literature from the course the teachers are being exposed to in terms of training students and the importance of understanding the muslim faith. The five pillars of the muslim faith. Their prayers, what they signify, they go into great detail about it. Any other religion will be banned. Correct. Thats a problem. That that their teaching what muslims believe, the fact that christian, juice, probably atheists are further because they are oppressors of muslims theres a political and agenda. The School District in minnesota, wealthy suburb of minneapolis figuring firstgraders a book a is for activist. Access from malcolm x. I forget the other thing. But its a complete leftist agenda. I have a website called stop k12 indoctrination. There was a code of ethics for k12 teachers. If you dont observe your get suspended and if you persist you will lose your license. It requires a political city council, whoever oversees the School District with integrity and enormous guts. Of seen videos on youtube and ive wanted to ask you this for a while. My grandmother lived in nazi germany. The National Socialist frequently pretrade the jews as being greedy, rich capitalists only got rich because they stole everything from everybody else. According to hitler they cheated to get to the top. The concept of White Privilege which is what many liberals talk about today they accuse what christians like myself from stealing from everybody else, do you feel like the National Social rhetoric of the juice influence liberals today to come up with the rhetoric of White Privilege . Their collectivists. They have to pick the group that the source of the problem. The liberals in america who are not liberals, their bigots family group, and a scapegoat which is right people. Its quite amazing. Then acp wants to ban the anthem. Its nuts. Bet that if youre inside the religion. If youre inside the religion black people cant be racist because they have to power. Look up rock obama the two corrupt attorney generals we had. Its amazing to me. Every time an officer was killed by individuals and cited by black lives matters would appear as the police chief weather and dallas, new orleans or cleveland, always a black cop. Were the most tolerant, Inclusive Society in the world. If you have only five black people and everybody elses right then that would be a problem. We have large minority populations. Most people can remember 30, 40, or 50 years ago. One of the worst pampered racist in america is tommy c tanehisi coates. He has a pathological passion for america and play people. When i see these issues discussed publicly, what is missing is a simple statement, tim kaine, the other day communist seminar for the crystal expert. They were supporting the communist scoreless in the 80s. They attacked general kelly the other day and the ideas that the constitution enshrined slavery. Actually, the american founding the slavery existed for a thousand years. Before anybody said it was immoral. Muslims are still practicing slavery and still think its okay. That way christians of i Thomas JeffersonThomas Jefferson wrote into the birth certificate that we are creatures of god. Whatever you think they are all creatures of one creator. Therefore equal in his or her eyes. I have an inalienable right to liberty. Every black in america owes their freedom to Thomas Jefferson, the american founding 350,000 Union Soldiers and as president Abraham Lincoln who gave his life as well. When i hear that im on a conversation with religious people are not fanatics. I watch a lot of television although its hard these days. I dont see that simple fact recognize. He wrote a memoir as the New York Times declared he was a great man and the dole book because he didnt reveal too many
