North Korean defector says 'even North Korea was not this nuts' after attending Ivy League school

The canary in the coal mines are the immigrants that escaped their communist countries.....they recognize it it for what it is.....I heard the same story from immigrants from different countries....most Americans are still asleep....

It makes sense that she recognizes the Communist brainwashing efforts in today's American educational system.

As American educational institutions continue to be called into question, a North Korean defector fears the United States' future "is as bleak as North Korea" after she attended one of the country's most prestigious universities.

Yeonmi Park has experienced plenty of struggle and hardship, but she does not call herself a victim.

One of several hundred North Korean defectors settled in the United States, Park, 27, transferred to Columbia University from a South Korean university in 2016 and was deeply disturbed by what she found.

"I expected that I was paying this fortune, all this time and energy, to learn how to think. But they are forcing you to think the way they want you to think," Park said in an interview with Fox News. "I realized, wow, this is insane. I thought America was different but I saw so many similarities to what I saw in North Korea that I started worrying."

Those similarities include anti-Western sentiment, collective guilt and suffocating political correctness.

Yeonmi saw red flags immediately upon arriving at the school.

During orientation, she was scolded by a university staff member for admitting she enjoyed classic literature such as Jane Austen.

"I said ‘I love those books.’ I thought it was a good thing," recalled Park.

"Then she said, 'Did you know those writers had a colonial mindset? They were racists and bigots and are subconsciously brainwashing you.’"

Having come to America with high hopes and expectations, Yeonmi expressed her disappointment.

"You guys have lost common sense to degree that I as a North Korean cannot even comprehend," she said.

I read that article. It looked like an opinion piece that was probably written by her about her.

She is not the victim! She is completely fabulous! And now that she has left North Korea it's all about her!

She's the new "Black Pink" and everyone has to hear about how the institution of higher learning brings her back ptsd that provides her with unrealistic delusions of being back in communist korea.

My oh my! Not a victim at all. She's a survivor.
Of North Korea Cancer.

That is a good gig being a North Korean defector. They usually get paid pretty good MI6 and FBI money for making up tall tales about Kim Jung Un. They can make a career out of it.

When even they announce that the USA is completely screwed you know there is trouble in river city.

I resigned from teaching in 1993 for the same things she recognized. I saw the communistic systemic tsunami swelling in the educational institutions and got the hell out of it's path.

I've been saying for a loooong time now an Ivy Leavue degree is a signal that someone has been thoroughly brainwashed. It should not be considered a lofty accomplishment anymore. We should NOT be electing Ivy League grads to the highest positions in gov't. Doing that is like giving away the positions to the CCP.

Jane Austen is racist now?

I told you so.

I was born in a prison in the middle of a war and ended up in the US after.

And my best memories of humanity are still from my early childhood in the war.

Do you have any idea how fucked up your society has to be for that to be true?

Nice going libtard progressive commies! You are even more commie than North Korea.
