Universities creating Monsters

Lately, I have noticed that some foreign students after coming to the US and studying in prestigious American universities become more anti-American than they were before they came to the US. Why?

Some American Universities are responsible for anti-Americanism of foreign-born or first generation Americans who come from Middle Eastern countries or socialist European countries like Sweden. These students have been raised on a diet of virulent anti-Americanism and anti-Semitism on a daily basis in their native countries. And they come here either as a legitimate PhD students or *fake dissidents of the the mullocracy, seeking higher education . Some are paid agent provocateurs and American universities knowingly or unknowingly provide them with ample anti-American materials, which they later use to formulate their own propaganda against the US and our economic system of capitlism. All they learn in these institutions from their leftist and anti-capitalist professors is how the US is no longer a democracy and how capitalism has ruined this country while they enjoy all the benefits of a capitalist society and would never think of living anywhere else. Noam Chomsky comes to mind.

Once these students go back to their countries, they become authorities and experts in bashing America and capitalism. One such student, Dr. Shariati, became a philosopher of sort in Iran with a mass following. After studying in the best universities in the West (with the Late Shah’s funding his education), he became the theoretician/philosopher and produced the most lethal ideology of 'Islamic-Marxism'..After finishing his studies in Paris, he published several books that are single handedly responsible for an entire generation to become radicals and topple the secular and autocratic government of the Late Shah.

Here is the difference between those Americans who voice their dissent against their own government and the foreign students who have no loyalty or allegiance to the US. For instance, I don’t think the Dailykos leftists/progressives think they are doing any harm to this country and they just want their voices heard. They want to advance America in their own image but have no direct wish to harm or have anyone else harm their own country. Conversely, a foreign student would have no misgivings about stirring further detestation toward Americans with the intention to destroy America in the name of Allah and "anti-imperialism", once he/she returns to his/her country. What’s been occurring in our universities is that our universities supply these foreign students with anti-American pseudo-intellectual, uninformed, and biased rubbish.
Then, these student take this one-sided information fed to them by our own universities and use them to prepare their propaganda against America. They use what they have learned in the American universities to discredit our democracy and our nation. They all become well versed in Chomsky, Frans Fanton, while they don't learn anything about the Founding Fathers, the American Constitution or civic virtue. How many of them have read Thomas Jefferson, John Lock, Thomas Paine, David Henry Throeau, John Adams, Abigail Adams, Patrick Henry and so on? Not that many, especially if they have done their undergraduate work in a foreign country.

I find this very disturbing and I’m frustrated as hell. These fake dissidents/scholars/PhD candidates are mushrooming all over the academia, UC Berkeley, Stanford, MIT, UCLA, George Mason University andGWU. What can we do about this? End Rant.


*Fake Dissidents: Mostly young and bright students/true devotees in Iran who are jailed by the authorities on some fabricated charges but are miraculously released and shortly thereafter, dispatched to US, Canada or other western countries either as grad or undegrad students. Then they somehow get their stories of being arrested by the vicious regime out to Washington Post, The Guardian, and NY Times and the "useful" idiots at these institutions label them as "dissidents"; hence worthy of publishing their thinly veiled propaganda in their newspaper.
