Last week, NRA’s Wayne LaPierre spoke about how the three most dangerous voices in America are academic elites, political elites and the media elites. This week, his point is proven yet again.

Butler University in Indiana has announced that it will be offering a class titled “Trumpism & U.S. Democracy.” The new course, reports The Heartland Institute, will be offered this fall and plans to look at “how Trump’s rhetoric is contrary to the foundation of the U.S. democracy, and what his win means for the future." The course "will also discuss, and potentially engage in, strategies for resistance.”

A private university teaching our brightest minds the best ways to serve up resistance to the president of the United States—they may as well call it Anarchy 101. Can you imagine the outrage had an anti-Obama class been offered?

As LaPierre pointed out, “The radical Left in this country have hijacked too many of our schools and colleges, and now they’re trying to hijack our youth.” The Heartland Institute also noted that Butler does not have any class offerings that would provide a counterbalance to this anti-Trump course.
