The outrageously reckless behavior of a Texas State University professor who openly called for violent revolution against the United States government should shock no one—except maybe those still clinging to the fantasy that our colleges are bastions of education, not propaganda factories. Tom Alter didn’t just dabble in leftist rhetoric; he paraded his hatred on a national stage, labeling the U.S. government as “bloodthirsty” and profit-driven, insisting the only way forward is to violently overthrow it. And what happened? He got what he deserved—fired. Finally, a rare moment of accountability in the swamp of academic radicalism.
This isn’t simply a fiery speech gone wrong. This is a direct assault on America’s very foundation by a man entrusted to educate the next generation. But of course, what did we expect from a professor who openly belongs to a socialist group with revolutionary ambitions? These leftist academics have been quietly undermining our country for years, twisting their classrooms into breeding grounds for anti-American, anti-capitalist venom. They preach chaos, violence, and division instead of facts and critical thinking. Texas State’s swift action is a welcome slapdown, but it’s also a glaring admission of how far rot has spread.
Meanwhile, the hypocrisy is thick. The same universities sweep under the rug countless woke indoctrination projects, from glorifying Marxist icons to pushing extremist gender ideologies on impressionable kids. Yet when a professor crosses even their own blurred lines and openly talks about violence, suddenly it’s “serious professional misconduct.” Where were these calls for consequences when campuses went into lockdown over vague “threats” inspired by left-wing activism? Where’s the zero tolerance for those sneaking radical lessons into children’s literature classes or interfering with parental rights? The left’s double standard about what constitutes “acceptable discourse” is not just toxic—it’s dangerous.
What’s worse, these centers of radical thought receive public funding, taxpayer money that fuels anti-American agendas. And don’t be fooled into thinking this is an isolated case. Right here in Texas alone, universities are purging conservative voices while tolerating and promoting the type of socialist revolution fantasies that would make Lenin blush. This isn’t education; it’s indoctrination funded by the American people. The only “revolution” these academics want is the overthrow of constitutional values and the destruction of the social order that made this country great.
The firing of Tom Alter sends a message, but it shouldn’t be the end of the story. The left’s war on America is still raging inside institutions meant to empower youth, not recruit them for class warfare. If we’re going to preserve freedom and the rule of law, we must demand more than just firing one radical professor. It’s time to drain this ideological swamp for good. Because if this is the practice of “higher education” today, what’s next? Will surrendering to Marxism be the graduation requirement? America deserves better than academics plotting its destruction from behind the podium.
