Mark Levin has made some striking comments about the current state of higher education in America.
Referring to a violent incident involving Jay Sani, who was attacked on campus for wearing a MAGA hat, Levin exclaimed, “Washington State University, like almost every university in America, really underperforms.”
This incident, in Levin’s eyes, reflects a larger issue within academia. He expresses concern that obtaining a genuine education feels almost impossible these days—something about being threatened by classmates, overwhelming propaganda, and a relentless promotion of certain ideologies.
Reflecting on his own university days, Levin reminisces that while professors leaned liberal, they were not openly radical. “I don’t recall any professors or students espousing truly extreme viewpoints,” he said.
While he acknowledges the presence of some Marxist ideas, he suggests it’s nothing compared to what students face now. Additionally, he notes that free speech seemed more respected back then.
“I stirred the pot a bit in class. I remember some lively debates sparked by my comments. That was fine; there was genuine freedom of expression,” he recalls with a hint of nostalgia.
One particularly vivid memory comes from his time in law school at Temple University. He describes a constitutional rights class led by a professor, who also served as Vice President of the Philadelphia ACLU. That class became unforgettable due to its provocative moments.
For instance, one day, the professor displayed a copy of either Playboy or Penthouse, triggering an uproar among many female classmates—referred to by Levin as “radical left-wing activists”—who were so incensed that they protested and even stormed out.
From his seat, Levin found humor in the situation. “Here were the leftists battling each other—that was more entertaining than most moments in law school,” he quips. “Honestly, that was fascinating.”
