I don't know where kids are learning to victimize themselves and hate America, but something needs to be done.

The article keeps mentioning "think tank" policies. But shouldn't they be anti-think tanks? Requiring students to “defend the American tradition and Western civilization" seems counterproductive to higher learning. Part of the point is a marketplace of competing ideas. If we just box students in to parrot that the American tradition and western civilization is the best and only way - that smacks of the Soviet style to me. In the Soviet Union, discussing the merits of competing systems was heavily discouraged, and people who spoke out against the status quo ...well.... you wouldn't want to be in their shoes.
I hold four degrees and have taken classes at a dozen different schools. Not once have I encountered a single Marxist instructor. In my opinion, the idea that colleges are radicalizaing young people just doesn't hold any water.
(Obviously, the water is held in underwater basket weaving courses.)

Meanwhile, I probably did have a Marxist professor or two. And their radicalism clearly wasn't as dangerously contagious as some seem to think, since I reflexively defend American "imperialism," love the free market, representative democracy, not putting people in gulags, etc.
Besides, if you're so impressionable that some professor of medieval history is going to turn you into a communist because they/them teach you that Saint Francis of Assisi was a proto-Maoist, then you probably would have been turned into one by TikTok or Twitter eventually anyway.
