American universities are arguably the most radical institutions in the country.
Most faculties have more Marxists than Republicans.
And the adults have allowed “woke” children to take over one top university in an infuriating clip.
College campuses have been completely taken over by radical leftists.
It started when the remnants of the hippie movement began infiltrating the higher education systems in the late 70s.
Ever since, universities have always leaned left but the liberals have largely been replaced by far-left activists.
The end result is “woke” administrators and faculty members who are every bit as extreme as the blue-haired feminist undergrad majoring in gender studies.
The adults in charge have allowed the children to take over.
American intifada
For example, UCLA, one of the top public universities in the country, has descended into chaos, so much so that classes were canceled for a day.

The riots have been in response to the war in Gaza between Israel and Hamas, but protesters have crossed the line and broken the law.
Instead of shutting down the illegal protests, UCLA has empowered them.
Far-left protesters were allowed to occupy a main quad of the campus.
I can’t get enough of these videos. This one is prob my favorite, where he mocks their mask-wearing. https://t.co/kojMwLiVjw pic.twitter.com/xa59OsQ8Q2

The students have adopted the same domestic terrorist tactics of Antifa.
They all wear masks and discourage—sometimes violently—people from recording during their public “actions.”
University’s weak response
In response to the chaos, Chancellor Gene Block released a statement that read, “UCLA supports peaceful protest, but not activism that harms our ability to carry out our academic mission and makes people in our community feel bullied, threatened and afraid. These incidents have put many on our campus, especially our Jewish students, in a state of anxiety and fear.”
In one shocking video, a Jewish student was blocked from entering a building to go to class.
The video has drawn comparisons to the Civil Rights movement when the National Guard was needed to protect the “Little Rock Nine” African Americans from being blocked from entering high school in Arkansas.
Chancellor Block continued, “With regard to these incidents, our student conduct process has been initiated, and could lead to disciplinary action including suspension or expulsion.”
That would be a start, but the problem is institutional.
A huge percentage of the faculty members and administrators agree with the radical students.
They are the ones who trained them and, in many cases, are currently cheering them on.
Block concluded, “I recognize that the suffering in the Middle East has had a profound impact on our campus, and we continue to hope for a peaceful resolution. While Bruins hold a variety of perspectives on this conflict, we must all protect the wellbeing of our peers and maintain an environment safe for learning.”
Until the remaining moderates in charge exercise their authority and clean out this mess, the problems will only continue to fester.
