University programs that are undermining the social structure of the United States.

Many prominent universities in the United States, such as Harvard University, Amherst College, the University of Chicago, the Rochester Institute of Technology, Columbia University, and The New School (among others less prominent), offer interdisciplinary courses in gender and queer studies that incorporate critical social theories, such as Marxist frameworks, transgender histories, and systemic critiques of traditionsl education and capitalism. Typically, these subjects are housed within the departments of Gender, Sexuality, and Women's Studies (GSWS) or Sociology.

As an example of what is being offered to students, Harvard University offers a course titled Queer Nation: LGBTQ+ Protest, Politics, and Policy in the United States: “The modern LGBTQ movement in the United States offers some important lessons about the long and difficult struggle over representation and rights, oppression and liberation, assimilation and equality,” the course description on Harvard’s website explains, among other concepts. Other colleges hereby listed offer courses such as Global Trasgender History, Queering Education, and "Street Dance Activism: Co-choreographic Praxis as Activism" and many other similar ones. Other courses address the links between capitalism, labor, power structures, and gender/queer liberation (such as course offerings through the University of Chicago Center for the Study of Gender and Sexuality). U.S. youth are not being provided with the knowledge and character essential for a good, fulfilling life or for civic-minded citizenship. Instead, educational programs focus on complex issues such as the relationships between capitalism, colonialism, labor, power structures, and gender/queer liberation. These courses reveal how colonial powers and capitalist systems exerted control over bodies, land, and work to shape modern class and gender identities. They illustrate the link between economic exploitation and the regulation of sex and gender!

Furthermore, these courses condemn traditional principles of the nuclear family, arguing that early capitalism needed a stable way to raise new workers and pass down private property. As a result, capitalists and colonizers replaced diverse local gender systems with strict male-female norms and imposed state control. Governments used police power to regulate bodies, healthcare, and segregated public restrooms and other public spaces.

One of the texts used in these courses states: «Engels’ “The Origin of the Family, Private Property, and the State” connects the development of production to the development of the patriarchal family, arguing that private property is central to creating the family unit based on women’s subjugation to men. While Engels based his work on inaccurate anthropological studies, his general reflections on the course of history are correct. Capitalism creates a new type of family relationship, as the workplace replces the home as the center of production. Goods that were once produced at home for family use are now produced elsewhere and purchased. However, the home still serves as a unit, but for reproducing the working class by ensuring that workers are fed and clothed and that children are raised to eventually join the oppresive workforce.»

It speaks for itself. No comment!

Yet, many colleges and universities continue to receive billions of tax dollars for programs such as these that are influenced by a deeply entrenched bureaucracy and the so-called "deep state." This longstanding financial relationship between higher education and federal and state grants aims to a significant cultural, sociological, and political transformation.

As New York City's newly elected socialist mayor stated, "I was elected as a Democratic Socialist, and I will govern as a Democratic Socialist." And he believes that the teachings associated with this ideology can thrive anywhere in the nation.
