The documentary "Berkeley in the Sixties" is a must-watch for how student activism revulsed the rich white supremacists in this country, making them slash education funding.
"that would put more conservatives on the faculty at their alma maters, or to bring more pro-business outside speakers to campus.
The new corporate-friendly environment that Powell conjured up - with outposts of conservative ideas that were becoming known as 'think tanks', a right-wing media infrastructure in print, on the radio, & maybe even on TV"
I wish we could lay this solely at the feet of the rich, but the fact is that their sentiments were already prevalent among the working poor. Americans, as a culture, have never valued #education.
