Student totalitarians

The avant garde of the totalitarian left is increasingly exemplified by the storm-troopers of the radical ego (oops Freudian slip!), eco-fanatics found in many Western University's. In the following article, their ideology manifests in strident and ominous stand-over tactics as they threaten the University establishment and call for economic disinvestment of everything that the fanatics believe conflicts with their worldview.
"It is sometimes difficult when confronted with seemingly noble causes to sweep aside the woolly minded clichés and grasp the substance of what is actually being discussed. The increasingly authoritarian inclinations of environmental groups is a case in point. No belief system, especially deep ecology, has a strong enough claim on the greater good that it should be entitled to decide how other people or institutions of higher learning spend their money. Nowhere does this ring more true than with repeated attempts by leftists to hijack state-funded education in order to pursue their own frolics of moral vanity." [John Slater]
