Students at public universities are screwed. Earlier this week it was revealed that American oligarch Charles Koch – one of the billionaire Koch brothers – has a deal with Florida State University where he can handpick right-wing professors for the universities Economics Department in exchange for a heft cash donation to the school. Investigative reporter Lee Fang is now reporting that this story only scratches the surface of what the Kochs are up to as far as polluting universities with their far-right ideology.

At George Mason University – Clemson – West Virginia – Brown – Troy – and Utah State – the Kochs have thrown million’s of dollars into the curriculums to ensure professors are hired who will promote deregulation and friendly oil policies – basically policies that help the Koch’s profits. At some schools – students are even forced to read books that the Kochs have written. I guess this is the new strategy of these oligarchs – why spent millions kicking off the Tea Party movement.

Why try to get older people on board when you can buy professors to convince kids right out of college to put on the tri-corner hat.
