It's Tuesday, April 23rd, 2024.

I'm Albert Moeller and this is the briefing, a daily analysis of news and events from a Christian worldview.

Go back to the 1960s and of course there were famous riots protests

political movements on America's elite college campuses and this is

especially true when you look at universities and the Ivy League, the other

major state universities, but also it filtered down to regional universities, local campuses

as well. Now looking in retrospect to the

1960s it is clear that an entire array of issues, the Cultural Revolution, the

Sexual Revolution, the Gender Revolution, all those things were taking place, they

were all a part of the context, but the catalyzing issue was the war in Vietnam.

And so you had this massive student uprising, and quite frankly you have all the ugly video of tear gas and soldiers and others,

confrontations between authorities and students.

This led to the toppling of numerous university administrations. and

quite frankly it is not a pretty picture from American history.

But as you look at the left, the left valorizes the 1960s.

The left believes that this was a genuine organic revolutionary movement that just got snuffed out.

And that's why so many on the left are so glad to see what is happening on some of America's most elite private and public university campuses right now.

In this case, once again, there's a larger context and it is the entire ideological structure of critical theory and of

cultural Marxism and of all the woke issues on the left the takeover of the

major universities there is pretty much absolutely done

But you're looking at student protests right now and the catalyzing issue is not the Vietnam War it is the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.

But the issues are still being played out
