Campus Reform DOT Org? Sounds totes legit.

What’s this Leadership Institute?
The Leadership Institute was founded in 1979 by conservative activist Morton C. Blackwell. Its mission is to “increase the number and effectiveness of conservative activists" and to "identify, train, recruit and place conservatives in politics, government, and media.”
Jesus Christ, that’s exactly what they accuse the Frankfurt School of doing. Except, that, the Leadership Institute actually comes out and says that’s their mission.
Please tell me they’ve had a positive influence on society.
Notable alumni include Grover Norquist, Ralph Reed, Jeff Gannon, Senator Mitch McConnell, Congressman Mike Pence, James O’Keefe, and seven new members of the 112th Congress.
Jesus H. Christ. That’s like an all-horrible hall of fame. All white men too, but that just must be coincidence.
When I have free time, maybe I will look up whether those named individuals like to say “cultural marxist.”

Old white dudes need to guide them, duh! /s
I bet yes. Also, I think that this old white dude might have said it best:

Or the values of the almost 30-year-old Burning Man movement are no longer fringe and entering mainstream.
