WHY IS HIGHER EDUCATION SUCH A CESSPIT OF HATE AND VIOLENCE? Club president, daughter of communism victim speaks about vandalized display.

Campus Reform spoke with Georgetown University (GU) senior and Network for Enlightened Women (NeW) chapter president Jessica Costescu, whose anti-communist display was vandalized on Monday.

Costescu’s NeW chapter set up 1,000 red flags and six posters on the Washington, DC, campus to commemorate Victims of Communism National Memorial Day, which is observed on Nov. 7. Costescu discovered earlier today that all six posters were spray painted with the red communist hammer and sickle symbol.

Two of the displays had read, “Communism Has No Home Here” and “China: 65 million victims, USSR: 20 million victims.”

Costescu, whose father fled communism in Soviet-era Romania, is a Leadership Institute Campus Ambassador.

And why are students such enthusiasts for totalitarianism? It suggests that higher ed isn’t living up to its purported justification of improving tolerance and good citizenship.
