The Leftist Agenda

Submitted by Ugri (Finland), Jun 23, 2010 at 13:04

Time and again I return to my favorite read: "Who stole our culture", by Dr. Ted Baehr and Pat Boone, and from that book chapter 10, written by historian Williams S. Lind.
This I have learned and this I can agree on:

When we speak about leftists, we speak about the followers of Karl Marx. And when we speak about leading Marxist intellectuals, we remember these two: Italian Antonio Gramsci and Hungarian Georg Lukacs. They had a simple and straightforward agenda: to destroy Christianity and the Western culture, the biggest obstacles to spreading their ideology. 'Cultural Marxism' was one of their brilliant fabrications.

From afar it's not simple to judge reliably American educational system but what I have read during the past 3-5 years makes one think the leftists have in places quite successfully infiltrated the schools and universities.
