#6  Agree to a point. As a soon to be retired teacher, Tucson public schools actively teach about the 'Red Scare' as it promotes a leftist agenda. Some even teach it in Spanish - but that's a different story for a different day. Adios, hombre!

#5  Victor Hanson uses 2500 year old references with amazing effectiveness...

Mr. Hanson has a different target audience.

If you walked up to the average 20-30 year old and asked them what McCarthyism is, do you think they could give you a coherent answer?

Let's not even touch on Bonapartism...

'McCarthyism' is to the 20th-21st centuries as 'Bonapartism' was to the nineteenth.

All concerned should read the cautionary tale: The Boy Who Cried Wolf.

#2  The Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions Movement (BDS Movement) is a global campaign attempting to increase economic and political pressure on Israel

BDS = pro-Palestinian groups and Hamas

#1  Nothing sez 'Leftie' like an academic using a sixty-plus year old reference that the majority of their students wouldn't recognize.
