In 2023, Jacobin, a prominent socialist publication, recognized a significant shift in academia, noting that many universities have openly adopted Marxist ideology and associated radical concepts, such as Critical Race Theory (CRT). For countless students, the college experience has shifted from learning critical thinking and employable skills to ideological indoctrination, with Marxism, CRT, anti-capitalism, and anti-American sentiment permeating classrooms.
