Teaching Anarchism in College

(Fox News)



All you UC Santa Cruz Community Studies majors (whose department has been suspended) take cheer. You have another program in Maryland. Montgomery Community College is actually giving high school students summer training in how to be an anarchist.

"Ah wunnerful, ah wunnerful, ah"

"We are at an exciting time in the history of the world. People all over the planet are taking democracy into their own hands and working together to create solutions for a better world," reads the course description for YOU392. 

"Take advantage of this interactive opportunity to learn critical thinking skills that will help you in college and gain insight into becoming a global leader of the 21st century. Learn about the Occupy Wall Street movement and explore real-life human rights implications. Review social justice concepts and explore human rights issues related to current events. Young people hold the power to change their community, their schools, their future -- are you ready to join the movement for justice?"

Elizabeth Homan, the school's director of communications, said the class "does not take a stance on the Occupy movement. Rather, the movement provides a creative opportunity for students to discuss protests throughout history, as well as current events, definitions, and various processes that can be used to voice opinions in the community."

"Riiiight!"


This, ladies and gentlemen is what passes for higher education today in the United States of America. It's called getting them while they are young. Keep one thing in mind. Every last one of our future leaders will pass through these universities. This is what they are being taught.


But there is good news for all those UC Santa Cruz (America's Wackiest University) Community Studies majors. You can get course credit at some Montgomery high school and sign up for  the Occupy MoCo course at Montgomery Community College. Can't interrupt your education, you know.
