It’s bad enough that left-wing teachers dominate the academic atmosphere of higher education here in the US, but now it appears that left-wing teachers, through the usage of anti-American propaganda, are turning one of our staunchest allies against us.

Case in point, from stripes.com:

When the Korea Military Academy asked its incoming cadets in 2004 to name South Korea’s main enemy, they were shocked at the answer: 34 percent said the United States while only 33 percent said North Korea.

The country’s top military leaders asked that question of the 250 cadets - among the smartest university students in the nation - because they wanted to know if a 2-year-old surge of anti-Americanism had influenced the future military officers, Kim Chul-woo said. He is a spokesman for the Korea Institute for Defense Analyses, which conducted the survey.

The academy’s then-superintendent, retired Lt. Gen. Kim Choong-bae, was so concerned about the survey results he cut the cadets’ boot camp from six weeks to four.

During the two extra weeks, cadets attended classes on South Korean history to learn how the country got its independence, what happened during the Korean War, and the role the United States played in the war.

Teachers told them about the U.S. Military Academy at West Point class of 1950, whose cadets graduated less than a month before the start of the Korean War. Nearly 50 of those cadets were killed.

“The [KMA] cadets were shocked. They said, ‘We didn’t know that,’” Kim said.

The cadets told academy officials they had leftist teachers in middle and high school who told them the United States was trying to dominate South Korea.

“The young cadets were kind of victims of the wrong education. They were kind of indoctrinated by the wrong education, the wrong textbooks,” Kim said. “Youngsters have no idea what was the Korean War, what was the contribution by the United States. They’ve been educated with a different perspective for the past 10 years.”

Because of the survey, the academy began using a more U.S.-friendly history textbook that Kim said was “based on facts rather than opinions.” (…)

Kim said Korea Military Academy officials asked incoming freshmen in 2005 and 2006 the same question, but the United States didn’t make the top three countries viewed by cadets as South Korea’s main enemy.

How could this anti-American mindset be spreading in South Korea, when barely 50 years ago over 35,000 American soldiers died for their independence? At least the man in charge, Lt. Gen. Kim Choong-bae, handled the situation properly, and educated the cadets with the real facts.

This is just an example of one school in one country — where else is this leftist assault on reality occurring?
