Andrew McCarthy: Hard Left Has Taken Over Higher Education
(NESWMAX) 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.
"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.
