I have been reading recently how radical Islamists set out to capture American universities over the past few decades. (Here and here.) They saw “higher education” as a way to influence debate and policy and a way they could “win” over the long term. Billions of dollars poured into American institutions to fund new departments and programs focused on the Middle East and Islamic Studies. Of course, the great majority of these professors espouse anti-Israel views. Communist China has had a decades old program to take over American universities. Beijing put Confucius Institutes on more than one hundred campuses. Communist China also poured millions of dollars into American universities. They sent tens of thousands of Chinese communist students to be educated in the United States and to spy on other Chinese students on campus.
