Villanova U. Prof Says Academia Should be Used as a ‘Trojan Horse’ for Socialism
“We need to go in a socialist direction”
It’s nice of this professor to come right out and admit what so many of us have known for years.
The full text of this tweet from Stu Smith is:
“Use the university in every way, shape, and form” — Villanova professor calls academia a “Trojan horse” to “advance our cause.”
Listen to Gabriel Rockhill, a professor at @VillanovaU, describe using the university as a Trojan horse for political organizing and ideological training.
Rockhill frames higher ed as a tactical site for “counter-hegemonic” work, cites his own Critical Theory Workshop, and then makes the end goal unmistakable.
“We need to go in a socialist direction” to build what he praises elsewhere as a socialist “intellectual apparatus” like the ones in Cuba and China, because that’s where he says you get the “real state power necessary to fully educate the people.”
Watch:

got to applaud his obvious cowardice in promoting a vile agenda and knowing that socialism is no so been normalized that any action taken against his putrid ways
will be met with a new contract somewheres else
I think you misspelled cluelessness. He’s not only saying the quiet part out loud, but he’s repeating the hidden plot that’s been there for decades like he is some kind of pioneer.
That is the really bizarre thing about his statement.
You mean they aren’t already?
Ok Bozo, First thing we’re going to do is average your salary with that of all other workers at the university including the graduate students that do most of the teaching. I expect that will mean a minimum of 2/3s cut in your salary, Welcome to socialism comrade.
“OK, Boomer.”
Where you been the last 30 years, dude?
“Should be”?
Damn, commies are stupid.
They want to rule over others, but are oblivious to the communist dumbing down of education since the 1950’s.
“because that’s where you get the real state power necessary to properly educate yhe people”
Someone read 1984 and Animal Farm as how to manuals.
Hope he discovers what happened to the Bavarian Soviet Republic in post WWI Germany. before he gets anymore ambitious.
I’m ready for it……betting he’s not.
So basically keep doing what they are doing and have been doing for the past 20 years.
