This is why the Soviet Union started sending it's agents in America to school to become professors or school administrators back in the 1930's.
They knew they had no chance of getting the typical adult America to accept their doctrine,so they played the "long game" by going after and brainwashing students. After all,the typical college student knows nothing about anything because they are still children and have never experienced life on their own away from home. That makes them easy converts once you convince them "the man" is trying to control them.
Catch them when they are young,naive,and full of enthusiasm to "change the world and make it a better place",and you pretty much control them for life. ESPECIALLY if they get jobs in education where they never hear or experience reality,and where they can't be fired.
