leftists, extremists, oppositionists, of any persuasion that you can envision, have abused the sanctuary of the educational system in America, and everywhere else, for as long as such systems have existed. It is a cherished tradition, part of the educational "experience."
universities are recruiting grounds, fertile audiences for propaganda, safe zones for organizational work, they provide office space for publishing newspapers and pamphlets and today, websites and email...
universities are battlegrounds, and the hearts and souls of students are key terrain. But more importantly, they are, indeed, sanctuaries, from which campaigns can be plotted and launched, and the movement of accomplices covered.
when you think about it, universities have a key place in the wars of this century, where front lines are ephemeral (except in cases like Iraq, Afghanistan, et al, where we create conditions luring Jihadis to their deaths like moths to the flame). There are universities everywhere. In every university, there is an organization sympathetic to every cause.
If you study organizational theory, that is, if you study conspiratorial organizational theory, you come to realize that virtually all organizations come to harbor a cabal at their heart, with concentric circles buffering them from increasingly clueless facilitating layers as you proceed from inner to outer layer.
the one saving grace: the fact that organizations abuse universities means that security forces can also readily target them, and penetrate them.
who wants to go back to "school?" Anyone interested in a little, er, post-graduate work?
