These resisters in the anti-war movement also trended towards the "free love" breakdown of the nations' moral code. And, these "anti-establishment" people found themselves attracted to the profession of school teaching. It was an opportunity to spread their philosophy, while taking the least challenging courses offered at the university level. (No offense to our teachers, but a teaching degree is obviously not as difficult to obtain as a degree in law, medicine, or engineering.)
So..............now, for decades, successive generations of our impressionable children have been indoctrinated with the tenets of the Liberal agenda.
This has resulted in universities (which should be bastions of Free Speech) with severely circumscribed areas of Free Speech, bans against "offensive words," charges of "microaggression" in some cases of offensive speech, and the ultimate classic new Liberal nonsense of "Safe Spaces."
Who? --- Liberal activists.
What? --- Indoctrinated our children.
When? --- Beginning in the 1960s.
Where? --- In the schools.
Why? --- To gain power over our people.
How? --- By subverting our Constitution and laws.

Actually, it was the early 70s. I know that well. There may have been civil unrest, but the "selling out" began in the 70s. I was a democrat, and an active one when I left the Navy. I recall making a decision in early 70s....sorry the EXACT year escapes me, but standing in a hotel room in Harrisburg Pa. I spoke for hours to the state Democratic head and told him because I thought they sold out, I had to leave and I did.
I differ with you guys who blame young people, or activists. They have been around well before the 50s, but we had no mass coverage of anything.....everyone was stupid...now, everyone thinks they are experts and trust me,,.they are more "run" by their political party than ever before, whichever party it is.
Young people by nature are liberal thinkers..always have been. I was exposed to pretty much all conservatives until JFK.
Again, I am what I think is a true conservative. I simply believe this President is not only destroying our presidency, but the Republican Party. He is closer to democratic philosophy than Republican except on immigration and race. But that appears to be what folks on here are interested in. I prefer legislation and moving the country forward
He is the anthesis of what this country needs, and is simply magnifying the bad, and ignoring what it takes to govern. Rallies full of lies do not a President make. He is making a mockery of all our systems and I predict those who suffer will be the Republican Party. As he has said....."he will still be rich" (and of course, contrary to his promise, he has not divested and is making millions off us)
