Carlos Vogt: "attack on the university is ideological in the worst sense of the expression”

General assembly on October 15th intends to unify and mobilize the academic community in defense of the public university in the face of obscurantism. According to Carlos Vogt, rector of Unicamp between 1990 and 1994, the attack on the university “is ideological in the worst sense of the expression”, because it is based on “this dangerous nonsense of cultural Marxism, which reproduces something that is in Adolf Hitler’s book My Struggle, evoked for try to characterize the actions of universities as activities articulated in a universal cloak of Left conspiracy against the poor defenders of tradition, family and property. It's all nonsense, but it's dangerous because the population buys it, it works. We are facing an extremely critical moment. The solutions suggested by governments, whether state or federal, are scorched earth, to besiege and exhaust the university’s forces”. Read full article.
