One of the latest trends in University curricula has nothing
to do with academics.The programs teach
students to form “community partnerships”, to learn “public purpose”, and to “mobilize
their communities”.
UAFS belongs to a “cooperative initiative” of universities, the
“American Democracy Project” which utilizes various speakers who fulfill
Chancellor Paul Beran’s wish that “students awareness of the world is increased,
enabling their graduation as globally competent citizens”.One such speaker was Little Rock Mexican
Consulate Consul Andres Chao, “Distinguished Global Speaker” series.The consulate was created “to assist Mexican
nationals who reside in the area” (illegals), and to provide the “Mexican
expatriate community…with official Mexican national identity cards”. (illegals)
Another speaker was Harry Boyte, founder of the “Center for Democracy and Citizenship”,
and “Public Achievement”.
Beware Buzzwords. Notice the same vocabulary and techniques
as Saul “The Red” Alinsky’s “Industrial Areas Foundation” based in Chicago
which teaches how to establish grassroots organizations to agitate for social
change…challenge the systems, most notably Capitalism. Obama and Hillary were
both avid students.
A UAFS delegation, headed by Beran, visited eight Asian
cities in 16 days, arranging student/faculty exchange agreements.Who pays for speakers, programs, elaborate
trips abroad, etc? No word, but it’s a sure bet that taxpayer money is
subsidizing much of this while citizens are suffering from job loss, credit
& financial crises, while arrogant politicrats flit around the world for “noble”
causes.
If you have trouble understanding the descriptions of these
programs, they are not designed to be self-exclamatory.Subterfuge and propaganda abound for a
reason, which is to keep actual goals under wraps, because many citizens don’t
want to be collectivists/socialists/fascists but fall for altruistic sounding
rhetoric.Their brains were shriveled in
public school and logic is beyond their comprehension…all by design.To what end?The destruction of individualism.
