William Jacobson is a law professor at Cornell University and also the publisher of the conservative Legal Insurrection blog.
During an appearance on the Ingraham Angle this week, Jacobson talked about the increase of leftist indoctrination in education and how that relates to the rise of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA).
Jacobson notes that this used to be limited to college campuses but the left keeps targeting kids at younger ages now, even in K-12.
It’s an excellent argument for home schooling.
Partial transcript via Legal Insurrection:
Laura Ingraham: Here with reaction, William Jacobson, Cornell University Law Prof, Equal Protection Project founder. All right, professor, but they’re not trying to brainwash the kids, are they? This is just all gender fun and Carl Marx fun?
William Jacobson: They are coming directly for your children. People need to understand that. The craziness that started on the college campuses has migrated off the college campuses. The student activists and the professor activists are now going for kids in kindergarten.
K-12 is their main focus now, because they know if they can indoctrinate children to hate their country, to hate their parents, to hate capitalism, and if they do it relentlessly, they can change society. And that’s what they’re trying to do. Nobody should kid themselves. This is extremely serious.
It’s been going on for a long time, but not quite so bold. They are emboldened by their win in the New York City Mayor’s race, and they’re going straight for the children.
Laura Ingraham: And I think you hit the nail on the head when you talked about turning kids against their parents, because the family is still the traditional structure left in the United States. Every family has their problems, its problems, every family’s different. Yeah, we get that. But still, there’s a modicum of order and tradition and we would hope respect. They want to shatter that. That’s why you got to get them young. And people can laugh off the dolls, isn’t that funny? But, you know, when kids are learning and maybe kids are a little confused, maybe they’re having a little difficult time or they’re shy or autistic, funnels them right into a particular shute that they end up in. And that’s where they think they can take them all the way to Marxism.
William Jacobson: And they’re not shy about that. If you listen to what they’re saying, that is their goal. They want to tear down the capitalist system.
They think they can do it through the children. And they might be right. Look at what’s happened so far. The popularity of socialism among younger people is astronomical at this point. So this is a move towards the kids that has been going on for a long time, for over a decade, but it’s now being accelerated by the DSA wins.
Watch the whole thing below:
It’s no secret that the left uses education to indoctrinate.
The question is what conservatives are going to do about it.
