North Korean defector goes to Columbia U...

A North Korean defector said she viewed the US as country of free thought and free speech – until she went to college here.
Yeonmi Park attended Columbia University and was immediately struck by what she viewed anti-Western sentiment in the classroom and a focus on political correctness that had her thinking “even North Korea isn’t this nuts.”
“I expected that I was paying this fortune, all this time and energy, to learn how to think. But they are forcing you to think the way they want you to think,” Park told Fox News. “I realized, wow, this is insane. I thought America was different but I saw so many similarities to what I saw in North Korea that I started worrying.”
The 27-year-old told The Post that she could’t believe she would be asked to do “this much censoring of myself” at a university in the United States.

She's absolutely right BUT it will only get worse here in the USA before it has a chance to get better.

Someone like her whose gained immeasurable perspective, even in her young life, must absolutely be dumbfounded at the lemmings marching to the Progressive Marxist piper and the resultant self-inflicted insanity running amok in this country.

Almost all of our educational institutions are compromised and are a threat to national security.

She was on Hannity(hey it was intermission of the Vegas-Montreal game) with Mike Huckabee. Huckabee said he would pay for her to do a speaking tour at American colleges and universities. I thought that was a great idea except for the small detail that no American college or university would invite her to speak there.

The white Christian conservative will be the canary if the left gets their way.

Yeah, the useful idiot Trust Fund types would protest the Diversity of Thought on their Sacred College Campuses. Sad situation where we are at regarding all education.
Time for that Pendulum to swing back...bigly.

Liberty, Oral Roberts, Bob Jones and Hillsdale, but she would be preaching to the choir.
