    "The recent pro-terrorist rallies and statements at universities brought educational corruption to the fore in America. “From the pro-Hamas rallies and attacks on Jewish students to Oregon’s abandonment of basic proficiency standards, our education system has become an abject failure,” Giordano insisted. “This includes our Ivy League institutions that are supposed to be producing the best and the brightest.” We must be honest about the problem before we can fix it.

    Giordano continued, “Our education system, from kindergarten through college, consistently yields undereducated, radicalized individuals rather than the informed and capable citizens our society needs. It is time to reassess and dismantle this failing system.” Education has permitted “anti-Americanism, anti-Semitism, and disdain for Western culture to flourish.” Now is the time to “reshape the educational landscape and produce an educated student body that strengthens” instead of sabotaging America."

    The reality is that international anti- democracy groups are in constant touch with each other with the obvious aim that any situation providing opportunity for protest can immediately be elevated to a world-wide situation. No doubt Russian and Chinese actors are always vigilant for opportunities to add fuel to the fires.
    There is very little that can be done to stop this trend. It is what it is with young people and the digital world is what it is.
    Moderate spokespeople get very little hearing in a world like we have and even less support.
    Even governments which one would hope might have the common sense to try and put fires out behave like mites for fear of a slide in poll numbers. The Irish govt is a prime example at present....all mouth and no responsibility.
