It Runs In the Family

An article about Kamala Harris’ father and his devout Marxism quotes from one of Stanford University’s publications in 1972:

Don Harris, a prominent Marxist Professor, has been offered a full professorship in the Economics Department here … 

The appointment is the direct result of student pressure in recent years to hire more faculty who favor an “alternative approach” to economics, said Economics Prof. John Gurley, who now teaches the only undergraduate course in Marxist economics. 

Gurley said the appointment of Harris was the culmination of the six-month “round-the-world” search for the most qualified Marxist professor available ….

Gurley called Harris “an exceptionally good teacher, outstanding researcher and one of the leading young people in Marxist economics.”

One knowledgeable source told the Daily that some senior faculty members were very hesitant hiring Harris, but they gradually yielded tp [sic] student pressure.

A conservative economics faculty member, who wished to remain anonymous said he was “not part of the decision and it would not be fair to say anything. “

He also added that “as far as I’m concerned Harris is not in the same field I’m in.” …

Gary from Central Florida alerted me to this Satanic pedigree; he opined, “The apple does not fall far from the tree. Not surprising.”

Nope. The only surprise is that Americans continue infatuated with a philosophy that has slaughtered and impoverished its hundreds of millions.
