Andrew McCarthy: Hard Left Has Taken Over Higher Education

 

By    |   Thursday, 12 November 2015 09:52 PM EST

The protests at the University of Missouri that led to the resignation of President Tim Wolfe this week proved that the nation's higher education system has been "totally taken over by the hard left," former federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy told Newsmax TV on Thursday.

"Forget about trying to reclaim the campus," he told "The Steve Malzberg Show" in an interview. "That ship has sailed.

"We're not going to reclaim the campus, not any time soon — and the way to do this is to blow up the model, not to try to reclaim it," he said.

"We can do education better with more quality and a whole lot cheaper by doing things like online courses and the like. That's where we ought to be going.

"It'll be better for the kids and it'll be better for the country."

McCarthy added that the left also puts forth the false narrative about racial aggression on campuses.

"This is simply speaking intimidation and they do it because it works," he told Malzberg. "I don't think that anybody really believes that there's racist aggression ingrained in the campuses.

"They do it because they know they'll get concessions and they have a weak-kneed opposition — and they get away with it."
